5 nights at Cozy Lakeside Cottage Guestroom
This was exactly what I was looking for. The property (and expected experience) is accurately described.
The property, including the cottage/camping area is bordered by trees and brush on two sides and the lake (with a dense growth of cattails) on the third.
Even though cottage/camping area is technically a spacious "backyard" I did feel like I was camping. The "cottage" is pretty much the size of an Expedition tent.
I stayed for five nights. I precooked my meals and home intending to heat them over the fire but ended using the microwave instead.
For this time year (late October) this is good option. If the weather gets nasty (too cold or even snow) the "cottage" is a wonderful backup.

We had a wonderful time camping here with our kids! Secluded, quiet, and great for stargazing when the sky’s clear. Our kids loved it, and having plenty of split firewood waiting for us was a nice treat!

The campsite at Christine's place was so beautiful. We enjoyed the privacy and the views of the lake were fantastic. We loved that firewood was provided at no extra charge and kayaks were available to rent.

This was a terrific spot to camp, it was secluded on peninsula with tons of wildlife. We stayed for just one night and saw deer, pilliated woodpeckers, trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, gulls, muscat, multiple species of water fowl, and even 3 river otter that swam right up to us! They thought of everything you could ask for facilities wise. Would come back if we are in the area again. Was a good place for us to take our 6mo old in his first camping trip without worring about disturbing anyone with his cries at night.

The site is lovely, secluded and has everything you need. The wagon was really helpful for hauling gear in and it was a nice, easy walk through the woods. I had mentioned to Christine that we were camping as part of my daughter's birthday party, and she very sweetly hung balloons at the site! Everything was as described, and communication was great. Christine even offered to loan us gear when some of ours got wet in an unexpected rain storm. We loved picking bouquets and enjoying live music Friday evening at the farm, and watching the flock of swans on the lake in the morning.

So private! We are the only people there! We loved the view. Christine was available if we needed her but we did not and we never saw her. There was not actually any portapotty /satelite anywhere but the campsite bathroom facility was innovative. It would be helpful if we could park iIMMEDIATELY next to the walk in trail RATHER THAN 200-300 yards away. We have never been able camp on a weekend because we can’t make reservations in March or April, so being able to get a weekend night was FANTASTIC. the nearby towns of Hudson and Stillwater are charming

The Campsite:
The walk to the campsite is shorter than I expected and it was easier than I thought, even though we had so many stuff with us. If you like privacy and sounds of animals while camping, this is the place for you. We ended up leaving the campsite a little earlier because our little one was too tired from playing and staying up at night.
The host(s):
Christine was great communicating with us before our camping trip. Christine even led us know about the storms the day before our trip, and even offered us refund.

Booked for a concert at TI. Directions were clear. Plenty of space. Will stay here again in the future. Worked really slick walking the 10-15 minutes back from the casino while the parking lot was gridlocked.

We had an amazing stay at Christine's campsite! The site itself was super private and I highly recommend renting the kayaks. We got to see a lot of wildlife- lots of birds!

This property is absolutely beautiful. Upon parking your vehicles, you're met with a beautiful lake as well as a serene short walk to the campsite. The site also has a view of this lake too. It was spacious, private, and Chrstine was incredibly accommodating. In my personal opinion, the perfect blend of kind and considerate while still giving you space to enjoy your camp. I think it's also important to add that New Richmond is a very short drive away if you need anything else. If you are planning your next trip or thinking about trying your first Hicamp experience this is a great way to do it!

If you're looking for tranquility, this campsite is a hidden gem. Nestled right on the lake, the views are stunning—especially at sunrise and sunset. The site was clean, well-maintained, and quiet except for birds and other animals. Definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys nature without the crowds. I can't wait to go back once the flowers are blooming to see the flower farm in full bloom!

If you’re looking to feel like you have the entire woods to yourself, this is an excellent choice. Christine is a wonderful host- I arrived and my fresh farm eggs were waiting for me on the campsite picnic table! I brought way too much gear for a single overnight stay, but there is a handy heavy duty wagon right next to the grass parking area. It’s about a 5 to 7 minute level / easy walk to the single campsite, which is HUGE. We only used a small 3 person tent, but the pad could accommodate a mobile barracks. There’s a fantastic fire pit surrounded by several log seats, and firewood was provided!
We feel asleep to a wonderful chorus ensemble including frogs, coyotes, and an owl. The campsite sits only a few hundred feet from a decent sized pond / lake- which contains so much wildlife! We woke up early and from our lawn chairs we saw trumpeter swans, a few common mergansers, herons, a great egret, ducks of all sorts, chipmunks, several deer, a muskrat or two, sandhill cranes, and a turkey! I will definitely be camping here again in the future and hopefully taking advantage of some of the unique offerings at this site (the eggs were delicious)!

The campgrounds were a very pleasant surprise. Very well maintained, clean, quiet at night, and the staff were all very friendly and wonderful (including maintenance guys who helped me with a plumbing leak issue). Nice petting zoo, dog play area, little beach on the lake, and trails around the grounds. Some RV spots are a little close together, but the overall grounds are large and spacious, so it didn't feel crowded. Kind of an under-the-radar hidden gem for the Twin Cities!

The property is pretty much open prairie land. I saw so many different types of birds to include eagles, water fowl, (didn't hear any loons but doesn't mean there aren't any) saw a few wildlife (deer, turkey, ground hog, a couple meadow voles. ) Andrew has a farm and there are a few horses and some very friendly goats, and super friendly dog. Andrew always answered my questions and was available if I needed anything. The farm is down a long dirt road which makes the stay very peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. Thanks Andrew for a great stay! I would stay again.

I loved this campsite! It was so clean and cute, with a great view of the lake. There were swans every morning! The campsite itself had a nice fire pit, little lights, wood, a nice table, and stumps. The trails were nicely cut, and it was easy to get around. The family is so sweet and helpful as well! It’s close to town which is nice if you want to grab dinner, but it still feels like you are miles away. I will definitely be back.
