The Double J

Welcome to the Double J!

Of the 71 acres we own, about half is tillable and the other half is woods and pastures for our horses. Within that, there is a beautiful secluded 3-acre meadow nestled down along along a beautiful 1,200 foot stretch of the Zumbro River where we have 5 spacious tent/RV campsites.  While the campsites are all adjacent to each other along the river, they are each very spacious (the smallest being 100' wide and 75' deep), with some mature trees scattered around.  Each sites (except Site #1) is able to accommodate up to 8 people and more than one tent or RV.  There is a small meadow above all the sites where campers can play catch or other games.  We provide and maintain a centrally located outhouse and keep the entire area mowed throughout the year.  All sites offer great shade trees (perfectly spaced for hanging up a hammock) and access to the river - great for those hot summer days! 

Water activities to be enjoyed include fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and tubing (equipment not included).  Some campers will drop in upstream at the Covered Bridge Park and float down to their campsite.  The Zumbro River, especially in the fishing hole, offers great fishing including Trout, Small-mouth, Red-horse, and an occasional Northern or Sauger.

Campers are welcome to to meander out into our pastures to pet our two horses, Shiloh and Champ.  Also, we are just over a mile from town where you can visit Covered Bridge Park which has a Frisbee golf course and a nice play area for younger kids.

Reserving adjacent sites, or all of the sites, makes for the ideal setting for a large family or group camp-out.  In order to prevent overcrowding, we do reserve the right to limit number of sites, or campers per site based on overall parties/campers in the camping area.  We will notify you if there are any limits at the time of your booking.

We enjoy being able to share our property with others, and it is our desire to promote a safe, peaceful, family-friendly environment, therefore, be sure to note, we do have a NO ALCOHOL policy. 

PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to read the "RV Details" on the site information page as the road to the camping area may limit the type or size of RV due to a couple dips, a sharper curve, and it's steeper slope.   Also, keep in mind, we reserve the right to cancel any reservations due to heavy rains or floods that may require our sites some additional time to dry out sufficiently.

For updates and notice of last minute cancellations be sure to follow us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/DoubleJCamping

As is customary for most campgrounds, we ask that if you bring in your own firewood that it be kiln dried.  Dry firewood can be purchased for $5.00/bundle.  

TIP - Being we do not reimburse campers in the event of rain (unless campground is flooded or too muddy), we highly recommend campers take advantage of Hipcamp’s Weather Guarantee option when booking.  With Minnesota’s unpredictable weather it allows you to get reimbursed for any days it rains over a specified amount, even if you choose to stick out the rain!  The cost is very reasonable making it almost a no-brainer! 

Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions!  We look forward to being able to serve you!

Crowded Table Farm - Cannon Valley

Welcome to Crowded Table Farm!

After twenty years of living in the heart of the city, we traded our pavement for 14 acres among the rolling hills of the beautiful Cannon Valley region of Southeast MN. Crowded Table Farm is the realization of a long-held dream: a place where we can grow good food, restore the land, and—most importantly—share it with others. Our farm is a patchwork of vegetable beds, fruit trees, a budding native prairie, and quiet woods.

Life on the Farm:

Depending on when you visit, you might see us out in the fields planting, weeding, harvesting, or tooling around on our small tractor. You’ll definitely hear the ducks chatting and the roosters announcing the day, but beyond that, it’s pretty darn quiet here. We are actively restoring a native prairie to provide a home for pollinators and butterflies, and we steward our wooded spaces, working to support a healthy forest ecosystem.

The End of the Road:

If you’re looking to get off the beaten path, you’ve found it! Our farm sits at the end of a dead-end road, with four miles of gravel between you and the nearest paved highway. Because of that, our nights are truly dark, and the stars are incredibly bright. It’s the kind of place where you can take a deep breath and actually hear yourself think. However, while it feels a world away, we’re actually quite close to some of our favorite Minnesota spots.

We’re just 15 minutes from the Cannon River bike trail and great spots for kayaking or canoeing, and Nerstrand Big Woods State Park is a short 20-minute drive away for hiking. The historic downtowns of Cannon Falls and Northfield are both nearby, offering fantastic breweries, antiques, boutiques, vintage shops, bookstores, wineries, restaurants, and more. We are also an easy 45-minute drive from both the Twin Cities and Rochester.

A Stay with Purpose:

At Crowded Table Farm, we believe in a "purposeful surplus." We run a small CSA, sell at a nearby farmers market, and grow extra produce specifically to donate to our local food bank. By staying here, you aren't just finding a place to pitch a tent—you’re supporting a small-scale food system and a commitment to land stewardship. We can't wait to share this beautiful space with you!

Welcome to the garden! You'll find vegetables, fruit trees, perennials, and berry bushes.

This site is nestled in the trees, near the prairie.

Meet the gang! We have chickens and ducks who roam freely in the coop area!

We grow a variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs on our small farm.
