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.

The Lower Sioux Indian Community stands out as a unique destination due to its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural surroundings in south-central Minnesota. Nestled in Redwood County, just two miles south of Morton, the Community Center is perched on the scenic southern bluffs of the Minnesota River Valley, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere.
Spanning 1,743 acres, the tribal land is home to approximately 145 families, contributing to a total tribal population of 982 that resides within a 10-mile service area and beyond. The name "Lower Sioux" was assigned to our band and homeland following treaties with the United States in 1851. However, we are proud members of the Mdewakanton Band of Dakota, a name that translates to "friend" or "ally" in our language. Our ancestral homeland, known as Cansa’yapi, is where our people historically marked trees with red, signifying our deep connection to the land.
At the heart of the Lower Sioux Community is a profound pride in our history and culture, which shapes our identity and community initiatives. Currently, there are nearly 930 enrolled members, with more than half residing on tribal lands.

Travis was very friendly, accommodating, and had a hands-off vibe. The site was lovely- private and had a small screened in gazebo.
There were a lot of mosquitoes and biting flies but it is July in Minnesota. Bring bug spray!

What a cool place! I loved the feeling of what I would want in my future.
The peacefulness, the gardens, the care and consideration for visitors. So inspiring!
We mooed with the cows at the full moo-n. Ha
A wild torrential rain storm came through and the wind was bananas but they checked in with us and offered shelter and breakfast in the morning.
I kayaked around a bit in the pond and just relaxed away from the city.
Audrey is awesome! And we all have a lot in common so it just made sense that I was attracted to this magical place.
Everything is so well done and friendly. As I said, inspiring. :)
I thank them such an incredible experience and sharing their home with us. :)

We really enjoyed our stay. The chickens, goats, ducks, geese, and donkey were a fun addition and gave the campground a unique charm. Our campsite was private and secluded, making for a peaceful, quiet weekend. The artwork on the buildings was a wonderful touch that added to the campground's character. We'd be happy to stay here again.

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

We stayed on the island site and it was beautiful. Its a bit of a walk to and from the car/bathroom, but still very worth it. The rushing river is the perfect natural white noise to fall asleep to and makes it feel like a very private area even with other sites not far away. We didn't even hear the other campers. Downsides: the shower isn't very good. Just a pipe coming out of the wall (water is a good temp though), a mirror in the bathroom would also go a long way, and finally we couldn't find/buy wood where they said it would be and never received an answer or call back when we tried to asked about it and even left a voicemail Friday evening (we stayed fri-sun).
Overall I'd still definitely recommend this site and would happily come again. Very peaceful beautiful area with a state park not far away. Great weekend getaway!

It was the first weekend in April so it was cold and snowy. The campsites are well situated so they drain well. The beautiful trees, even without their leaves protected us from the wind. Two cats were running around and mostly kept their distance, we did find paw prints on my daughter’s air mattress when she woke up, she loved it.
We enjoyed the Pygmy goats, regular goats, and loved the wooly pig. We enjoyed time hiking through the woods and flying kites next to the corn field. The bathroom is in the basement
of the house with its own entrance and complete privacy. It was great. Travis met us when we arrived and showed us the property. He asked
Us what we needed and made sure we were taken care of. He was reachable if we needed anything, and gave us complete privacy. We bought a dozen eggs, and they were fantastic. My daughters were blown away by how good fresh eggs are. The whole atmosphere of a farm with old equipment and buildings was great. Property is very well kept. There are tons of open places to stand and enjoy the beautiful stars and no lights. We are planning on going back again.
