Zumbrota, MN · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to the Double J!
Of the 71 acres we own, about half is tillable and the other half is woods and pastures for our horses. Within that, there is a beautiful secluded 3-acre meadow nestled down along along a beautiful 1,200 foot stretch of the Zumbro River where we have 5 spacious tent/RV campsites. While the campsites are all adjacent to each other along the river, they are each very spacious (the smallest being 100' wide and 75' deep), with some mature trees scattered around. Each sites (except Site #1) is able to accommodate up to 8 people and more than one tent or RV. There is a small meadow above all the sites where campers can play catch or other games. We provide and maintain a centrally located outhouse and keep the entire area mowed throughout the year. All sites offer great shade trees (perfectly spaced for hanging up a hammock) and access to the river - great for those hot summer days!
Water activities to be enjoyed include fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and tubing (equipment not included). Some campers will drop in upstream at the Covered Bridge Park and float down to their campsite. The Zumbro River, especially in the fishing hole, offers great fishing including Trout, Small-mouth, Red-horse, and an occasional Northern or Sauger.
Campers are welcome to to meander out into our pastures to pet our two horses, Shiloh and Champ. Also, we are just over a mile from town where you can visit Covered Bridge Park which has a Frisbee golf course and a nice play area for younger kids.
Reserving adjacent sites, or all of the sites, makes for the ideal setting for a large family or group camp-out. In order to prevent overcrowding, we do reserve the right to limit number of sites, or campers per site based on overall parties/campers in the camping area. We will notify you if there are any limits at the time of your booking.
We enjoy being able to share our property with others, and it is our desire to promote a safe, peaceful, family-friendly environment, therefore, be sure to note, we do have a NO ALCOHOL policy.
PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to read the "RV Details" on the site information page as the road to the camping area may limit the type or size of RV due to a couple dips, a sharper curve, and it's steeper slope. Also, keep in mind, we reserve the right to cancel any reservations due to heavy rains or floods that may require our sites some additional time to dry out sufficiently.
For updates and notice of last minute cancellations be sure to follow us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/DoubleJCamping
As is customary for most campgrounds, we ask that if you bring in your own firewood that it be kiln dried. Dry firewood can be purchased for $5.00/bundle.
TIP - Being we do not reimburse campers in the event of rain (unless campground is flooded or too muddy), we highly recommend campers take advantage of Hipcamp’s Weather Guarantee option when booking. With Minnesota’s unpredictable weather it allows you to get reimbursed for any days it rains over a specified amount, even if you choose to stick out the rain! The cost is very reasonable making it almost a no-brainer!
Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions! We look forward to being able to serve you!

This old homestead belonged to my belated brother Steve, and after he passed unexpectedly, we decided to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for those interested in sharing a peaceful and modest property.
The old barn is a work in progress to eventually become the base to accommodating more travelers and outdoor enthusiasts as finances permit.
My son Logan, after having worked in the service industry bartending for 14 years and hosting 100+ global travelers via CouchSurfing out in San Diego, is well-versed in creating an inviting space, enjoying the merits of hard work through the hospitality industry.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing/swapping stories around the campfire!
Learn more about this land:
Our property and profile are in constant change as we are in a stage of development, but we look to share our land with those seeking to enjoy a warm, welcome environment for those fellow wanderers, outdoor enthusiasts, vagabonds, and globetrotters. Logan is a well-traveled backpacker and together we share 5 1/2 acres here in a bustling little touristy town. We enjoy the company of those who endorse small footprint, sustainable practices and like to establish meaningful connections. All we ask is that you respect the property, our neighbors, and make an effort to add one more new friend before you depart.

Hello friends!
Thanks for your interest in Balsam Ridge Retreat!
Many folks that have visited our place refer to it as 'country living in the city'.
We are so blessed to live in this little piece of serenity just inside the city limits of Duluth.
Our home was once an abandoned house that sat for years until a friend mentioned to us that it might be going up for sale. We loved the location and rolled up our sleeves. Twenty years later we still marvel at the beauty around us and can hardly believe that we LIVE here!
Just down the road is a trout stream and beyond that was a popular farm that attracted many folks to this neighborhood for hay rides and sleigh rides. The farm has since retired its horses and closed its doors to make room for new homes, but memories live on in the beauty of the open fields. I often imagine the sound of horses and sleigh bells and people singing carols and then warming up around a toasty fire sipping hot cocoa. Some of those memories live on right here at Balsam Ridge (minus the horses). Over the years many groups of folks have enjoyed a sense of community in these back woods no matter the season. Campfires, kids catching frogs, neighborhood campouts, snow picnics, hair-raising toboggan runs, family campouts, spiritual silent retreats, a take-your-breath-away giant swing, and some tales too daring to mention are all part of the fun.
This is why we do what we do. We've been given much, and love to give back. It just wouldn't seem right to keep all this good to ourselves.

—a nice flat spot! I was camping in my SUV, so that makes a difference.
— a lovely spot between bluffs in the beautiful Driftless area.
— as a woman who likes to solo camp with her dog, I felt very safe in this location.

Our family loved our stay in the Gokotta tent! We just wanted a few days away unplug and to end the summer and was exactly what we needed! We wanted to camp but didn’t want all the work with setting up a tent etc so this was perfect. So many cozy touches at our site and around the whole area. It’s not as remote as the pictures show - just a large beautiful property that has some trails, so grocery store etc conveniently close by if needed. We went up to Two Harbors for a day which was about an hour drive. Our boys seemed to just want to go back to the “glamp” site though. Lol. Our boys are 10, 14 and 16 and all loved it. We enjoyed playing the homemade carpet ball game on site as a family (got pretty competitive), the swings, and just sitting by the campfire. We played cards one night in a cute building down by the little pond. Everything there had so much character and thought put into it. Even the outhouses were cute and had working light switches.
Linda and Chris were the sweetest people and genuinely wanted us to have the best stay. Will definitely go back! We loved Gokotta because was more private at the far end of the property and worked great for our family!
Thanks again Linda and Chris for such a memorable stay!

I had taken my boys up to this lovely place to fish and we were not disappointed. For the fisherman’s out there, this is a pretty non-pressured lake. Produced lots of 3-5lbers! All my kids caught there PBs.
Plenty of space to set up our 11 person tent. This spot was secluded and quiet. There were plenty of firewood to use (we didn’t need it as we brought our own). Outhouse was fine as well. Didn’t smell at all. :).
There is a dock, a little wobbly but I had expected that as it was pretty high. I didn’t feel like it was going to break or anything like that.
There is also a small stair case down to water. Bring your water boards!
Host was very responsive when needed.
We will definitely come back next year!

David's land is beautiful-we used the tent area, but the areas for campers and the already set up "teepee" tent were also super nice. He was also such an amazing host, and very accommodating. We also got to meet Juju, and a couple other people staying there who were also very sweet. We didn't think we would use the barn much, but they did an amazing job restoring it, and it was so comfy. We played a lot of table tennis 😂 I give it a 10/10 and we would love to come back some time. Thank you David!!!

Great experience. Allen met me at the campground to show me my campsite. Very nice host and communication throughout was spot on. Very spacious, well maintained and surrounded by trees. The property is a bit off the highway - far enough for privacy but the cars and trucks you do hear. My site #101 was the closest to the road. More spots were available further in. A large property to walk around, the site had everything for a nice campfire and the night sky was truly amazing!
