A beautiful spot to camp near Mankato. There are a choice of spots to park and since we needed electric we used the concrete pad near the barn. Owners are super friendly and they have a super cute cow! One thing to take note of is if you need to park on the pad, the black flies are pretty annoying during the day. However, they do not bite and we put out fly strips and some spray and it helped immensely. But we were gone most of the time during the day and they died down in the early evening like someone turned off the switch. Perfect campfire location next to the lake too! A really solid spot for a base camp to explore the area - we shopped at cute stores in ‘Kato and hiked around Minneopa as well as attending the Cake concert at the amphitheatre in town. A great weekend - thanks so much!

Easy to find, peaceful and relaxing! Host wasn't home so we did not meet personally, but he was quick to respond to our questions. We enjoyed having room to set up our bathroom tent and badminton while still have plenty of space. The dock/canoe werent available, but we enjoyed floating on our tubes, and caught fish off shore. Loved being able to walk up and interact with the cow! Town was a short drive to get what we needed. We didn't walk the trails, so no comment on them. It felt like our own little escape even though there were others there( they seemed to stay in their units, hopefully not because we were out and about) only downside was only having one fire pit/swing on the lakeside where two of us were set up, we didn't want to be distracting to others, yet wanted to utilize them, so when noone else was using it we did and just closed down early in case they wanted to after.
