Stories from the community

2 nights at Prairie Creek Campground

My family and I really enjoyed our site. My labradors especially loved being right on Prairie Creek. There’s a bunch of trails to access from the property which was awesome. The sites were well maintained and having a cart to bring our gear back was a great surprise. I would recommend this to anyone.

2 nights at Prairie Creek Campground

This campsite was amazing! 5min off the road but completely surrounded by woods. Could hear owls and coyotes at night. Easy access to Caron Park and the waterfall next door. The campsite was clean and taken care of and Stephen was very friendly. Definitely coming again!

1 night at Serenity Valley

Serenity Valley was everything we hoped for and more! The fresh air, wide open views, and peaceful surroundings made it the perfect escape. The cabin was incredibly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up — it felt simple but just right. We loved being surrounded by nature, and the deer heads inside added a fun, rustic touch. It was quiet, relaxing, and just what we needed to reset. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Prairie Creek Campground

Camping here was such a peaceful and adventurous experience! So many trails near the campsites to explore and the creek is just beautiful. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Weekend Trip to Prairie Creek Campground

We loved tent camping. The fire ring was easy to use and very safe. We hiked to the local county park with a beautiful but chilly stream. Overall, peaceful and lovely stay.

Weekend Trip to Whippletree Farm & Nature Trail

Beautiful farm near the Twin Cities with a great auto site. We needed to try our RTT before a trip out west and decided this was a perfect spot to give it a try. Only about a mile from the Gateway trail and a speedy 25 mile RT bike ride to downtown Stillwater for breakfast on a patio. Really a great option if you are looking to avoid crowds and noise at a public campground.

1 night at Prairie View Camp

Booked a site and got upgraded fo free to a nice site with a fire pit, the area with the bees. Bees are not bothering at all and you can hear them clearly at night. Really nice dogs off leash around. Quite flat ground for our car tent and spacious. There's a nice area where we can enjoy the sunset by a tree.

Weekend Trip to Two Bees & A Bud, Flower Farm Camp

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!

Weekend Trip to Two Bees & A Bud, Flower Farm Camp

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)!

2 nights at Belle Creek Bluff

My girlfriend and I had a great time camping in the green cabin! The land was beautiful and our puppy loved swimming. Crossing the creek to get to the campsite added to the adventure!

5 nights at Bluff Hollow Camp on the Root River

We had a fantastic weekend! Perfect for full-@$$ campers. The site is peaceful, private, and well-maintained. There’s an upper and lower camp area with a pretty significant hill between them, so plan for a bit of a climb if you move between spots. The fire pit and picnic table were perfect for cooking, and the host was great—friendly and responsive. Recommend for anyone looking to truly unplug and enjoy some quiet nature time.

2 nights at Prairie View Camp

My partner and I rented the meadow lark prairie site and due to some additional circumstances (early in the season, shower not yet hooked up, etc.) Cynthia automatically (and unexpectedly- in the most delightful way) upgraded us to the site nearby with shady oak trees and an incredible view of the prairie. From over 4 different species of wild grasses, to 7 different species of birds identified, to minimal mosquitos, not to mention Cynthia’s thoughtfulness and care in checking in multiple times, we cannot recommend this camping destination enough! It is quiet, has all the amenities for comfortable camping (firepit, wood for sale, clean port a potty, sink for washing dishes, hiking trails, beautiful view, not crowded, no mosquitos), and a most welcoming and kind camp host. Thank you Cynthia for sharing your land for others to experience, appreciate and enjoy.

1 night at Prairie Creek Campground

The directions were fairly easy to follow. The #4 site was well out of site of other campers, which is what we wanted. The host was easy to contact. At one point, the other campsites were playing music very loudly. Stephen checked in with me and with the other campsites, and it all worked out great. The hiking trails nearby were fun to explore as well. The bathroom was a fair walk, and when the site says they recommend 4-wheel drive to get up to the site, that is good advice! We loved being in our hammocks and being surrounded by so many trees. No matter the time of day, it was easy to find sun or shade at the site.

Weekend Trip to Meteor Ridge Forest

Great private camping in a unique spot. The rocks that line the back part of the site added a cute touch and bit of a magical feel. Getting to the site is going up-hill, so it’s a bit of a workout hauling stuff up. It is possible to get a car up there, but our Mazda 6 was a bit too low to clear some of the terrain. Subarus, Jeeps or cars of the like could make it up. I loved this site. Sarah’s description of needing to bring water, electricity, and having a provided compost toilet is accurate. We had solar powered laterns and string lights that did well here. Sarah gave great communication prior to our trip, too. This is far out enough to hear many different wild birds and animals. We made friends with some curious rabbits and heard coyotes in the distance. The stars-gazing is also top-tier next to the fire. The fire pit is huge and has a built in fire grill that made cooking with our Dutch oven easy. The fire pit is a little raised with some loose bricks, so be sure to watch your step around it. We cleared some bricks to make it easier to walk around. Sarah also provided a lot wood, so cooking using primarily the fire was do-able. Overall, if you want a more off-grid, private experience with a safety net of a town within a 20 minute drive, this is a great spot. Sarah is responsive to any needs if you have any. We had Verizon and att phone services and phone calls and gps were reliable.

Weekend Trip to Sassy Fox Acres

We loved camping on Tricia's land! The sites are big and spaced out well. They have fresh eggs and produce for purchase and i wish we got some before we left but forgot! They provided us with a cute welcome bin full of camping essentials. They were soo sweet, welcoming, communiative, and responded in a timely manner. They provided us with great suggestions of around the area! I would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Sassy Fox Acres

Loved camping on Tricia's land, the campsites were well sized and she was very accommodating. The surrounding land was a great view for sunrises, sunsets and you could even see the stars at night time. Would definitely consider camping here again.

Weekend Trip to Twin Folk Farms

Great camp spot. Would recommend. Property as advertised.

Weekend Trip to Whippletree Farm & Nature Trail

We chose this spot because it was close to the activities we wanted to do in the city but a remote place to set up camp. Peter had clear directions & the spot was perfect for a big tent & a hammock. We saw deer every night, turkeys & heard an owl. The wagon provided was perfect for hauling our gear to the spot. Would recommend!

6 nights at Champion Valley

One of the nicest spots and we've been all over the US. Dogs loved it as well. We stayed at Turtle point, Base camp and Gus's Grove. Will return!

Weekend Trip to Muddy Feet

This was a wonderful place to spend a night. Very scenic, not many bugs, plenty of flat ground, and the host was extremely friendly. There’s not a lot of exploring to be done, so I wouldn’t recommend it for an extended stay, but it’s a perfect spot to get away for a night or to stop at as part of a longer trip.

The Double J

6 sites · RVs, Tents71 acres · Zumbrota, MN

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!

Twin Folk Farms

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents120 acres · Hager City, WI

Previously a 100 acre century farm, this fertile land was tended to by generations of old time farmers. Their dairy cows pastured in areas which we now graze sheep.

Twin sisters, Darla and Kayla, and their families live across the road from each other and own the surrounding 140 acres. They keep busy planting/tending trees, making hay, moving fence for grazing animals, operating a farm business called Twin Folk Farms (pastured meat, camps, etc), and raising their families.Learn more about this land:- This site is at the edge of a restored quarry, sheep pasture, and wooded hillside.- The site is tucked down a flat mowed path, so it feels very private and protected. - You can hike up a path to the sheep pasture.

Camping near Cannon Falls guide

Overview

Midway between Minneapolis and Rochester, Cannon Falls provides the perfect blend of small-town charm with big-city entertainment right on its doorstep. Sitting pretty along the Cannon River, a tributary of the mighty Mississippi River, and right by Lake Byllesby, it’s easy to get outdoors around Cannon Falls. Once you’ve explored the historic buildings and local shops Downtown, you can enjoy hiking, biking, or cross-country skiing (depending on the season) along the Cannon Valley Trail and go canoeing and tubing along the river. Lake Byllesby has a summer swimming beach and plenty of options for water sports. Campers can also check into the lakeside campground, which has tent and RV sites (some with electric and water hookups) and amenities that include picnic tables, fire rings, and a camp store. Alternatively, head to the family campground on the other side of town or snag a spot at a nearby Hipcamp.
