Prairie Creek Campground

Hello 2025, Camping Season is Here!  

Pitch your tent at one of our Walk-In campsites on 60 acres of forest or hilltop prairie along Prairie Creek in Rice County, MN. Explore the creeks, trails, forest, our enormous granite "split rock", a 60 acre county park featuring waterfalls and trails, including a single track mountain bike trail.  That's 120 acres of exploring outside your tent; this campground truly offers a large amount of remote forest for recreation right on site.

Big Woods State Park is less than 2 miles away.  Faribault is 8 miles and Northfield is 9 miles from our driveway; they offer dining, boutiques, and all other amenities.  Nerstrand is 4.5 miles east and has a gas station and a fantastic meat market.  Numerous Cannon River put-ins are within 10 miles.

Vehicles: Our main parking area by sites 1, 2, & 3 is easily accessible.  The road to the secondary parking area beside site 4 is up a steep gravel road (but it is accessible).

We do not have firewood available at the campground; please plan ahead to bring firewood with you.  Sites are priced for one tent, please let us know if you need to have more than one tent.

Kids under 16 camping with their parents do not count in pricing.

A map of the land is in the photos and shows locations of sites, parking and more.  All Sites are Walk-In!  We have a cart you may use to haul gear in.

This campground is managed by Stephen and Molly on land owned by them and their father Ted.  In 1961, Ted's parents bought this farm. In addition to farming they also operated a trail riding stable here. Over the years, the arable land has been sold, but we retained the wooded areas which are twice crossed by creeks.  About 25 years ago, a 60 acre county park bordering the south and west sides of our land was created.

We are very excited to host campers as a way to preserve and share this beautiful property.

The Split Rock!  This enormous feature is a granite glacial erratic.  It was deposited here as the Wisconsin Glaciation receded approximately 18,000 years ago.  
Its natural split is wide enough to walk through and the view from the top is excellent!

The terrain is mostly deciduous forest.  A creek meanders through the main camping area.

250' of shoreline, plus, 1/4 mile to public access and county beach.

Pioneer Farm on Fish Lake

Canpers, spring!   Welcome!

 This lakefront farm is a very special spiritual location.   Listen to the nightlife in the woods and loons on the lake.   

The farm animals are gone now, but a huge barn and outbuildings remain. Enjoy observing old-time architecture!

Monet tight?  We are open to a refund of $20 a day for an hour for farm chores.  Chores like mending fences, cutting vegetation, collecting the harvest from the earth, etc.  Pay in full through Hipcamp, then we can arrange a task per interest and capabilities!!   

The lake was a perfect mid-day cooldown spot

Your wonderful hosts, Nancy and Kalli with their two sweet pups

There are multiple campsites to choose from, each offering it's own unique features

The property has so many cool treasures, like this camper that's been renovated into a chicken coop

There is a camper at the farm that we were welcome to use during our stay. It had a bathroom with a shower, as well as a fridge and electric power

Stone Creek Farm

Situated on 36 acres, this working farm is 2 miles
West of Taylors Falls. Dan bought this property with the intention of growing stone fruits (plums, peaches, apricots and
cherries) using sustainable and organic practices because health and wellness matter to them! They are still in the process of improving their property. Many of the building on the property were in poor condition, including the old barn foundation which is now one of Dan and Danielle favorite places to keep cool in the summer. After they had excavated all the debris (which took years) they were able to transform it with gardens and fire pit for all to enjoy. They love sharing what they have been blessed with! They hope you enjoy their place as much as they do! Feel free to ask them to show you around or even get your hands dirty with them as they plant or harvest.

It is a bit of a trek to the campsite, but Danielle and Dan thoughtfully provided some helpful carts to haul your stuff back.

Dan and Dani gave us a tour of their property, we got to learn a lot about their unique growing techniques, which was a huge highlight of our stay :)

The site is set up so nicely to spend time at

We loved hearing about their produce during the tour they gave us.
