Our camping area sits in a quiet corner of our 40-acre property. You'll find easy access through a mowed approach that opens into a peaceful spot just for you. While there’s some privacy from the road, traffic is minimal, so you can relax and enjoy the quiet.
Beyond our home and a few outbuildings, the land offers a beautiful mix of young timber, lowlands, open meadows, and winding trails—perfect for exploring or simply soaking in nature. We’re just beginning our journey into creating an RV park, so while some of our plans are still in progress, we’re excited to share what we have so far.
Water is available from a hydrant near the house, and once you book, we’ll provide a map showing the layout of the land, trails, and water access. If you prefer, we’d also be happy to give you a personal tour when you arrive!

This is the second year in a row that's I've used their property to camp on for back to the fifties. I keep coming back because they're affordable, welcoming, and friendly couple. If I had any questions, they'd find a solution. Pet friendly facility. My dogs loved the pasture on the leads.

We loved our spot at 2b. So very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room for our 22’ trailer with some shade. Enjoyed the moved sites and train with our 3 dogs. George communicated quickly and talked to us about his farm. Our timing was great to pick some Haskap berries. We would definitely return again!!

George’s farm was beautiful for both the unique berries from which he made jam and acres of grapes (vineyard). It was lovely to walk around. Very private and very quiet and only a few miles from Stillwater, MN where there’s great restaurants, fun shops and breweries. If looking for a place in this area highly recommend!

This was a fantastic camping experience! I stayed at 2b for six nights. It was so secluded and private. George was great host... he welcomed me and gave me complimentary honeyberry jam, which is absolutely delicious!
He respected my privacy, but was there if I needed anything. Water and free firewood were easily accessible, and the firewood is kept dry and burned really well! The grounds and campsites are well maintained, and easy to find because of the mowed lanes and signs posted.
