Weekend Trip to The little cabin

This little place was exactly what we needed as a place to crash with our dog on a little road trip to pick up a vehicle. It is small and cute and thoughtfully put together. We didn’t have a fire but there was plenty of firewood available. There is an outhouse a short walk away from the cabin. It was somewhat chilly outside and the small electric heater was plenty just go get the place warm for bed time. It’s nice that there’s a fridge and microwave, a small futon couch, and a fold up/down counter with folding chairs that tuck away. There were hooks to hang coats, and a few odds and ends (books, map, binoculars, matches) on the shelves above. Would recommend for a short stay to crash.

3 nights at Paquin Farm

It’s a very nice and quiet place with beautiful view and the site is in great condition, I highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Paquin Farm

Low-key, quiet, super nice people! Close to a lot of different things!

1 night at Evergreen Oasis Farm

Honestly, one of the top camping experiences we’ve ever had. It was just my 8 year old and I and they made us feel right at home. Perfect place to unwind and who wouldn’t love unlimited sheep snuggles and alpaca eye contact?! They’ve really done a great job though and we are already planning our next trip out. 10/10.

Weekend Trip to Marsh Mellow Meadow

Wonderful property with lots of bird watching and amazingly relaxing.

Weekend Trip to Whippletree Farm & Nature Trail

This is our second trip to Whippletree and we love it. Easy access, nice add ons like a composting toilet and firewood, great site, and goats! This time we saw 10+ deer and some turkeys…we’ll be back again for sure.

Weekend Trip to Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

Kim and her husband were extremely hospitable and accommodating. The property is well maintained and groomed. The tent and sauna were clean. The pizza was fantastic and timely. And the fact they provided fire wood was an extreme value we haven’t seen anywhere else. We look forward and already planning our second trip out to Alpha and Omega.

Weekend Trip to Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

The whole evening was great! The farm was so cute and the animals that were right outside the tent, and we came for a pizza event the evening before, which really added to the experience with live music & BYOB, but they had delicious pizzas! Kim was the best and made time to talk to us at dinner and accommodate our morning coffee time request. :) would definitely recommend! And the wool blanket, plus others kept us super warm all night.

Weekend Trip to Evergreen Oasis Farm

Absolutely gorgeous campsite! Tim was a wonderful host. We had everything we needed and more here! The animals were friendly and very fun to pet. We will be back!

2 nights at field view campsite

I had a great stay. Very peaceful and quiet. The sunsets are gorgeous! Easy to access, too.

Weekend Trip to Whippletree Farm & Nature Trail

An excellent site. Amenities are as discribed and well maintained. Trails were nice to have on site. Saw lots of animals. Perfect for a weekend trip.

3 nights at Champion Valley

I almost don’t want to write this review, but Matt and Champion Valley deserve it. I worried that I will encourage too many people to start using this site and it will be all booked up and I won’t be able to come back. This site is amazing! The description is very accurate. What I didn’t have an appreciation for was just how isolated and private this site really is. You have the place to yourself! The only “neighbors” are the incredible birds and wildlife to enjoy. The location is spacious. Be ready to switch into 4 wheel drive to get into the site, path in can be muddy and slippery. There is a great spot for a tent pad, commode, or hammock tucked into a stand of trees. On weekends, you can expect to awake to what the location is known for a paintball establishment. The pop of paintballs is all part of the experience. I rate the site a 101 out of 100, 11 out of 10, or 6 out of 5 stars.

Weekend Trip to Prairie Creek Campground

Awesome campsite! Very spacious, felt private. Hearing the creek throughout the stay was so peaceful. The host was great, stopped in to greet us and let us know where everything was. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely stay again :) Thanks!

Weekend Trip to field view campsite

Nice easy place to spend the night! I parked at the very end of the access lane and it was quiet and private.

Weekend Trip to Honeyberry Minnesota working farm

This site was clean and beautiful. Although it's close to the metro area, it feels like you're much further away. That makes it convenient to get to, while still getting to unplug and relax. We even found a nice little jar of jam at the picnic table.

Weekend Trip to The Oaks at Oakwood Farm

Nice spot to camp just outside of the cities, picnic table, and outhouse was a nice addition. Far enough away from structures and people to enjoy the peace

Weekend Trip to The Oaks at Oakwood Farm

Great, private campsite. Jon is a fantastic host.

3 nights at Champion Valley

Beautiful spots at Gus’s Grove and turtle point! If you have a trailer getting into or out of the spots will be challenging on slick days but worth it 👍

2 nights at Prairie Creek Campground

Clean, quiet, peaceful. Stephen great explaining the area and what to see.

Weekend Trip to Prairie Creek Campground

A gorgeous quiet and private site right on the creek. Loved having access to hiking trails right on the property. Can’t wait to return again soon!

We’re very busy during these months and if you stay with us you may be able to enjoy fresh produce for purchase- we also have neighbors that sell eggs, there is a Meat shop in downtown Lindstrom and 2 miles away is Rod's Country Corner (ice cream, pizza, sandwiches, essentials). So, you could have the opportunity for some delicious camp food while staying here. It is very beautiful with much to see and do. Things to note: 1. There are black bear in the area, please keep food stowed away in your car at night and your campsite clean. 2. Storms pop-up and tents etc. are subject to wind, please be mindful of the weather and any incidents that occur are not liable to the property owners.

Please read the instructions on the inside before using. This is a working farm, it can be unkempt or messy- it is also mosquito forward and wood tick forward-please bring bug spray. Many of our past campers have enjoyed the scenery despite being next to a slightly trafficked road. Also, fireworks are very popular with the neighbors in the area around July 4th. Please respect our quiet time, when the sun goes down-so do we. No Smoking Marijuana or Tobacco on the farm, and no pets. Preferably no glass bottles either. ++Attractions in the area++ Ice Age Trail Wild River State Park (canoe and kayak rental available) Interstate State Park (Boat Tours, kayak and canoe rental, hiking) The water park at Wild Mountain Boat Rental: https://www.captainshawnsrental.com/ Wineries: Chateu St Croix, Wild River Winery, Dancing Dragonfly, Rustic Roots Breweries: Uncommon Loon, Trap Rock Shopping: Antiques in every town!

We cut the field to offer a walking trail to the prairie preserve. There is a tree surronded, very private tent site for tenters, but if you have a camper you can find a spot that works best for you! (The tent site is very private and a camper would not fit.) We are a short 10 min drive to Stillwater but there is so much to do in Somerset!
