Stories from the community

2 nights at Tamarack Ponds

This site was great! Very peaceful and relaxing. It is well maintained and everything was as advertised. It is especially helpful to have firewood included. It is good, quality wood and is located close to the site. I highly recommend this site!

1 night at Cook's Country Connection

10/10 experience, the animals are adorable and Lois is very helpful. I would highly recommend camping on the land.

Weekend Trip to 16 Squared Cabin

So beautiful, peaceful. One of the most wonderful hipcamp sites I’ve booked.

1 night at Osprey Ridge

This was lovely!!! Stay for the coolest treehouse outhouse ever! So cute. So cozy. We loved it. Very close to Voyageurs.

Weekend Trip to Northern MN Camping & Glamping

Nice spot, will book next time I am in the area. It is close to the Tioga MTB trails and close to town which had great live bands both night. Site is easy to get to and it is good size flat spot. We fit two vehicles with trailers, no problem. Lots of room for tent camping. Nice above ground firepit with generous supply of firewood. Brand new picnic table. Was there to mountain bike so did not use the lake, but it is a short walk down the dirt road. Clean port-a-potty. Blair was really responsive with messages and provided good communication.

1 night at Cook's Country Connection

Another wonderful stay at the farm! As always, the host and the animals could not have been more welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with both.

Weekend Trip to Osprey Ridge

We loved our time at Osprey Ridge, Greg was more than accommodating, knowledgeable about the surrounding area and made sure we had everything we needed. The platform on the loon site is about 8x8 so smaller tents only but it provides a super nice flat spot to have your tent since there is not another good spot to put it at the site. The pit toilet is probably the nicest one I’ve ever seen, feels more like an upscale outhouse! Sites are far enough away from each other to offer decent privacy while still being a short walk to the car/bathroom. Indoor place to sleep if weather turns bad and additional shelter is needed. All in all, a fantastic location and host, highly recommend for small groups looking for a weekend getaway.

Weekend Trip to Cabin O' Pines

I loved my stay at Cabin O’ Pines! The camp spot was nice with a view of the lake. Bathrooms were very clean. Super friendly and helpful staff. The amenities were amazing too! I used the sauna and a paddle board while I was there. I would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends.

Weekend Trip to 16 Squared Cabin

The property and cabin were lovely. There's no traffic sounds, plenty of wildlife, and a big open field out front. The cabin itself was perfect with comfy beds, stocked firewood, and plenty of space. Amanda was very responsive and brought us more toilet paper when we were running low. This was one of the best Hipcamp experiences I've had!

Weekend Trip to Northern MN Camping & Glamping

Where do we begin! This was such an amazing experience for our group! We loved the spots for camping our tents! Obviously we were aware of the extra parking spots for vehicles up top the driveway which worked out perfectly fine! It’s just a bit of a walk down to the site but that’s totally fine! Great area to let dogs roam and swim! Owners were absolutely AMAZING! They were so helpful and wonderful to meet! They supplied us with plenty of firewood and we chose to do a pontoon rental through them as well which was in great shape! We went with a group of 9 of us and enjoyed every minute! Great location for privacy on the lake and we loved being able to have the property to ourselves and our pets! Two fire pits to use, one by the lake and one up by the camp site. The lake firepit was a bit hard to sit everyone around with the angle of the hill but the upper one was perfect! Couldn’t say more positive things! Well done & will be back!

Weekend Trip to 16 Squared Cabin

We loved spending time at this cute little cabin! The property was beautiful and very well kept and clean. The views were amazing and it was so peaceful. We had a pet emergency and had to leave a night early, Amanda was very accommodating, friendly, and helpful in our prompt departure. If we ever come back to this area, we'll definitely come back to the cabin! Thank you Amanda!

Weekend Trip to 16 Squared Cabin

Very cozy cabin and beautiful land. This was a very “all to yourself” site other than 1 day a parade of side by sides went across the property right behind the cabin. We weren’t aware that others would be accessing the driveway/trails on the property during our stay. There were lots of ticks but there were not mosquitoes. Bring flashlights as the inside of the cabin stays dark throughout the day because of so much tree coverage which is great for temp control. Amanda was great for fulfilling our water needs. We would absolutely go back.

1 night at Two Rivers RV and Campground

I stopped for just a night while on a camping/road trip. It was a really nice place. Pretty clean (there were a ton of cig butts on the ground at my campsite, but it didn’t bother me). The trails were nice. I only walked a bit but it was really pretty. The toilet was really clean and well kept. It looked like a fun place to spend a few days.

3 nights at 16 Squared Cabin

Great stay! The snow blocked the sign to the road but Amanda was helpful in getting us back on track. Once we were there the cabin was exactly what you could ask for. Warm cabin surrounded by gorgeous scenery blanketed in snow.

This land was homesteaded by my great grandparents in 1900 as part of the Homestead Act of 1862. After losing my store to fire in 2013, I took the leap, and decided to open the farm to the public. I have a menagerie of animals, many rescued or adopted, that love all the attention. My friends' kids love camping in the pasture with the animals and when I saw an ad for Hipcamp, I thought maybe others would want the experience, too!Learn more about this land:Yoga with goats meets camping with alpacas! We offer camping in the small animal pasture of our family petting farm. (We also offer campsites away from the critters if your not too sure about sharing your space with livestock!).
