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.

Enjoy our back lot for a private campsite which borders a prairie preserve. Watch the deer come in the morning and evening and listen to our friendly, happy hens cluck away, not to mention all the beautiful song birds. We are happy to share our golf clubs and balls to hit a few into the field. Our kids love it! Tree coverage along with an open field. 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! Take a walk around the prairie preserve and kayak down the apple river, but don’t forget the local brewery and boutique shop. There is some great fishing on local lakes in the area as well. We offer a 30 amp electric hook up and our hose for water. We also have a shower tent with a camping porta potty.

Come take a break on our beautiful farm acreage. Located within an hour of the twin cities, 15 minutes from historic downtown Hudson and the St. Croix River, 10 minutes from the famous Willow River Waterfalls and in the heart of rural, smalltown Wisconsin. We'd love to share the peaceful country nights with you. There are two sites available. The first is capable of hosting tents, small campers and RV's. You'll enjoy being tucked in between an old calf barn and a cozy row of pines. You'll get peaks of the gorgeous sunsets and a sky full of stars. We've even been lucky enough to see some stunning northern lights when the conditions are just right. Our second site is perfect for a more rugged/off-road setup. Just on the other side of the pines you'll get even more privacy and stunning views of the sunset, stars and this fall we had hundreds of migrating Sandhill Cranes serenading us.

Note: Site does not have an assigned address but the driveway is next to our cabin on the North side of the Snake River in Pine City MN, NOT Rock Creek MN. The site is a vacant lot and has the better river view and experience as its a small peninsula that juts out to the river with rapids. There is a swimming area right next to the campsite or feel free to jump into the rapids if you want a rush. There is fishing right there as well, mostly large and small mouth bass. There is parking off the road and a short walk to the campsite, just follow the sounds of the river. Small wagons are provided to help with getting gear down to the river tent site. There is a composting toilet, it uses a "separator" where #1 goes back to the earth (as it is sterile and liquid) and #2 goes into a bucket and is covered with wood chips. There is also a standing urinal for men if desired. If you would prefer to use a pit toilet there is one on the property with directions marked with a sign. It is a farther walk however, about 100 yards from the tent site and on the cabin property near the driveway. If you want something even more convenient, feel free to bring your own. Firewood is available for sale onsite or feel free to clean up dead wood lying along the trail at no cost. The tent site is right next to rapids on the Snake river. If you struggle sleeping to the sound of rushing water, this may not be for you!

Taylors Falls camping guide

Where to go

St. Croix National Scenic Riverway

Campers often look for the waterfall that Taylors Falls was named after—instead, they’re treated to stunning views of rushing water over the St. Croix River Dam. While Taylors Falls doesn’t have a natural waterfall, the dam boasts river views, and hiking opportunities along the St. Croix. Rapids under the Highway 8 bridge make for another great way to admire the powerful river. Stay close to the water in a log cabin or safari tent, and consider making your way further north to Wild River State Park.

Gandy Dancer Trail

Campers can explore 98 miles of the wide, comfortable, car-free, gravel Gandy Dancer Trail that starts in St. Croix and runs north. For a lighter excursion, try the 14-mile Stower Seven Lakes State Trail. Tent campsites in the St. Croix Valley and nearby Interstate State Park make it easy to set up near Gandy Dancer and hike or bike to and from the campsite for a local adventure.

Franconia Sculpture Park

Catch some culture while exploring the outdoors at this 50-acre sculpture park. The free open-air space is accessible to the public with an ever-changing array of works by new artists, and even better, many sculptures are safe to interact with, so kids and adults can enjoy the art walk. Open from 8am to 8pm every day, it’s an ideal spot to hit on a weekend camping trip or last-minute excursions. Find a nearby cabin in the Chisago Lakes for a spacious group stay, or park at an RV campsite and drive to Franconia for a day trip.

When to go

The most popular time to go camping near Taylors Falls is June to late August, when warm weather is comfortable day and night. Spring brings a host of seasonal wildflowers, while vibrant fall colors decorate the trees later in the year—and both seasons offer smaller crowds. Expect snow from late October through mid-April, when nearby terrain parks draw skiers and snowboarders.
