Homesteaded more than 100 years ago this farm is somewhat stuck in time. Once this was a prosperous dairy operation. Location location location, this place is my slice of heaven on earth. Located in the corner of 4 townships on an extremely quiet road. Our farm now raises grass fed beef and wooly pigs pastured along driveway along with the usual cast of a farm, dogs, cats, chickens, guineas and goats

Don't worry, you won't be driving in it!
We are offering the opportunity to stay on the back hill of our ten-acre rural property. You can go for walks around the pasture on our mowed trail or just sit and enjoy the beautiful Minnesota views.
The site is on a gravel road and you cannot see our house from where the bus is parked. While you can see the neighbor's house, it is still very dark at night and excellent for stargazing.
The bus will be disabled for guests; it will not start or move. While there are electric fans, AC, and a TV with DVD player, there is no electricity available (bring your own generator if you want).
There is a cassette toilet with instructions.

Great spot to camp fairly close to Minneapolis! The upper campground was private and easy to access. The goats and horses were really friendly and walked right up to us. There were a lot of ticks around so make sure to check yourself after you walk around.
If you want to use the lower campground closer to the water you will need a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

We had an incredibly good time! The property is beautiful. We were camped under a grove of trees and surrounded by farm fields. The surroundings were great because it kept a steady wind blowing through our site, which kept us nice and cool and free of bugs. It also gave us an amazing view of the area including a spectacular sunset.
Camping next to the goats was so much fun, I had no idea how much I'd love them! A couple of them are little escape artists and liked to wander over to our site which gave our dog some entertainment. He had an absolute blast as well, seeing a bunch of animals that he'd never seen before and being able to interact with them was a lot of fun for all of us. He's an elderly guy so these special moments mean the world to us.
Our hosts were awesome and I'm very grateful to them. They are so friendly and I loved BSing with them, learning about the animals, helping to wrangle and herd the goats, talking about music festivals, etc. Just had so much fun for the whole time we were there. I can't thank you two enough for the perfect little getaway.
I'm really happy we found this gem and can't wait to go back. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone! 10/10

We had a peaceful weekend away, no pressures of the outside world and close to Redwood falls and Fort Ridgley state park
I love the noise and atmosphere of a traditional campground but this was more of a soul break, quiet secluded space
I do recommend being an animal lover tho! The roosters, chickens, goats, geese horse and donkey oh and cats and dogs will check in on you, but it was a slice of joy you dont het at a traditional campground

What an incredible campsite! Surrounded by beautiful tree cover, it felt completely private—like our own little escape in nature. It was the perfect place to relax, cook meals, and spend time playing card games together. The sound of birds all around us added such a peaceful touch.
This spot is ideal for families, especially if you want space for kids and dogs to roam freely and safely.
If you’re looking for a quiet, secluded camping experience away from crowded sites and the chaos of other campers, this is the place. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway!
