Great quiet spot. We stayed 3 nig
hts while visiting the Minneapolis area. Shakopee has a nice little downtown with plenty of places to eat. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.

The weather didn't cooperate the weekend we went but we still had a nice time. It was a little different type of camping for us being in a driveway, but we had enough privacy and things were quiet. Chelsey was very friendly and helpful. Nice view of the sunrise in the morning (site #2).

Chelsey offers a quiet and convenient spot right off Rte. 90 to park for the night. The toilet is clean and water is available. The setting is an old farmhouse at the top of a small hill that offers a view of the surrounding farmland, and some beautiful old trees.
Chelsey was friendly and accommodating.

Super relaxing place. If you don't mind the roosters. Lots of area to pitch a tent. The property is super funky and the owners are super people. We have camped there 2 times and we will be back. Thank you Ed for sharing your place.

Gorgeous property with plenty of space so if other campers are there you still have your privacy. The hosts were very kind and accommodating. They even helped ground guide me into the space going between some trees.

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.

The field view campsite is a very nice and cozy campsite with BEAUTIFUL sunsets. You feel you are one with nature with the amazing sounds of all the wildlife from turkeys, birds, and coyotes. The goats at the farm provide entertainment and are the cutest to watch. Kristin also welcomed us at the campsite and was very kind and welcoming. It was a wonderful way to spend the weekend.

Beautiful place to camp! Edwin was very kind and welcoming! We were the only ones there for the weekend which was very nice! A lot of flat, open, but shaded spaces for tents. Perfect for hammocking as well! We bought a fire bundle prior to getting there via Hipcamp but didn’t end up using due to fire warning conditions and Edwin was kind enough to refund it. Only thing is there were no picnic tables so bring your own camp table! Had a great weekend in Franklin! Thanks Edwin!
