This is a 10-acre part of a larger 110-acre property. This section is reserved for tents, camping vans, and small trailers 20' or less. The river is great for small children to wade and swim in during the summer. During spring, the water is up higher for kayaks and canoes.
Your hosts live at 1010 205th Ave. It is just a vineyard for now. the winery we hope will be built in 2025.

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

48mi from Monticello · 1 site · Tent, RV
Enjoy a peaceful escape on our private 1-acre lot, perfect for tent camping or RVs. The site includes an electric hook-up, outhouse, and a dedicated fire pit for campfires under the stars. Surrounded by woods on either side, it offers a quiet, semi-secluded spot for nature lovers.
A short trail (400 feet or a little over a football field) leads through the forest to the Snake River, where you’ll find a second fire pit with chairs, solar lighting, and a private dock that is share with just our cabin and then campsite. If you are tenting, you can tent at the river but do not drive on the trail except for atvs. The river is great for fishing, swimming, canoeing, or kayaking, and can accommodate small boats. Multiple public boat landings are located up and down the river for easy access.
The property lines are outlined in the overview picture. Please do not go to the west of the trail to provide ample space for privacy with our neighbors. The red on the map is the camping area with electricity and outhouse. Our personal log cabin is the blue dot but there is a significant tree line in between. If we are there, we are happy to give you a tour. The blue line is the trail. The white area is our property on the river and available for tent only or to hang out for the day if you choose to camp up top. The purple area is where the goats are busy eating. Come and visit them!
While the site does not have running water, you’ll be camping right next to our family cabin, and we’re happy to help with anything you might need. We also have friendly goats on the property that guests are welcome to visit!
There’s also plenty to explore nearby. Just minutes away, Braham offers a quirky “hole-in-the-wall” bowling alley and some charming local shops. Head north to Pine City for more options, including restaurants, a larger grocery store, and additional shopping. History buffs will enjoy visiting the Snake River Trading Post, a Minnesota historical site. And if you’re in the mood for a local treat, Sapsucker Farms is a nearby cidery open on weekends, often hosting live music, food trucks, and hiking trails. Ask your hosts for even more ideas—they’re happy to share local favorites!

Very serene and rustic sites. A great place to go and unplug! Nice area for walks in the woods and not seeing others. The camp host is very helpful when needed.

It was a very private rustic campsite. Carl's a very good host and will help out with whatever you need. The campground is right next to the Rum River State Forest with lots of hiking and trails to explore. The night skies are fantastic! I was able to have my dogs off leash, they loved exploring and taking a little dip in the river!

Lazy River campsite was a beautiful location for our family to camp! It was only an hour from the metro area but felt like we were much further out and was very private. There was plenty of space for multiple tents right along the river with a nice fire pit area, kayak and canoe, hammock, and picnic table. It would have been tricky moving all our gear to and from our car to the river area but the hosts were so helpful and assisted us with their 4-wheeler. There was an option to camp right next to the vehicles but we wanted to be next to the water. Outhouse was clean and stocked. Would definitely recommend!

Great little getaway about an hour from the twin cities. Camping area and riverside hang out were both lovely. The hosts were responsive, kind, and helpful. We had a great time sitting by the fire, exploring the river on the canoe, and just hanging out on the riverbank. Campsite was clean and level, easy to park in, and outhouse was super clean!
Pro tip: when navigating in, the actual entrance is a bit past where GPS points you. Go PAST the property with the red gate, past the next drive, and then you’ll see the clearing with the outhouse.

This site was perfect!! We have a new pop up trailer that we took out for the first time and it was a fantastic experience! The electrical hook up was conveniently located in the first site area. There is also a tent or boondock site down by the river that you can choose to camp at. Both areas have nice fire pits and wood. Anne and her husband were wonderful! Thanks again!! Will be returning!

Great view of snake river. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Recommend camping by the river vs the road, but not a long walk to get to the river. Fun attractions nearby (rusty the dragon, sapsucker farms, state parks, etc).

One of our nicest camping trips - this is a great site! It was just the secluded, quiet retreat we were looking for. Hosts were friendly and responsive and accommodating, and full of great recommendations for other things to do in the area (we did some hiking at Banning State Park and some fishing with their tips). The goats are adorable - and contrary to one of the other reviewers, we almost never heard them. Kids had a blast on the river, and we loved letting our dog off-leash for our stay. This is a newer listing on HipCamp, and is sure to be a popular one.

Just got the chance to visit this place with my family — and wow, what an experience! When we first arrived and saw some nearby homes, I didn’t expect it to feel very private… but I was totally wrong. This ended up being one of the best camping spots I’ve ever been to.
You get a lot of privacy right next to the lake, and they let you use their canoe, kayak, and splash pad. The kids swam all day in the lake and had an absolute blast. There’s even a fireplace by the lake — we saw deer on the drive in, and later that night, two owls were just sitting nearby while we hung out by the fire. Super cool.
The walk to the campsite is about 6 minutes, and the outhouse was surprisingly clean and didn’t smell. The hosts were really friendly — stopped by to say hi but gave us plenty of space to relax and do our thing.
This place is perfect for big groups, couples, or even solo trips. Overall, a great experience. I’d be happy to come back again.

Overall it was a great experience for us! I will say the trail leading down to the river was quite hard to navigate at night, more lighting on the trail at night would help to lead to the outhouse area much better the only other thing we would of enjoyed was if the goats were elsewhere because they were pretty loud and you could hear them majority of the time. Otherwise great experience would definitely go back!

Cozy spot, beautiful area. Was just passing through MN and it was a great place to spend a quiet evening. Definitely recommend. A couple notes, I didn't have cell service out there so make sure to record the directions and instructions before you arrive. Also, wish I would have taken them up on a couple of those firewood bundles to quiet the mosquitoes.

Beautiful property with trees, open spaces and a gushing river this time of year. The property is really well looked after with clearly marked campsites and fire pits. We lost cell service in town so make sure you review the directions beforehand or it may take a little longer to find your way. Carl was a good communicator and kept us well informed prior to our arrival and even came over with a bottle of plum wine (harvested from his property) to share. We would definitely stay here again. Excellent spot!

What a great place to unplug from electronics. The animals were so cute and peaceful. Travis was very accommodating and answered any questions we had. Many acres to roam, weather was amazing as was our site that we had. Many to choose from. Goats were so funny and donkeys were cute and sweet, we wanted to take one home. My one pup thought she was a baby goat I think, she fit right in their pen and hung out several times. Brought home some farm fresh eggs and hamburger for a very inexpensive price. Thank you Travis! We enjoyed our relaxing weekend on your farm.
