Camping near Fargo

·

Fargo isn’t just popular because of the movies, it’s also celebrated for its vibrant culture and abundant camping. Buffalo River State Park, 30 minutes from Fargo, offers campers a chance to see the tranquility of this state’s nature from well-maintained campgrounds with full hookups and a dump station set near back-in campsites. The park's prairie and forest landscapes create beautiful hiking trails, unique birdwatching, and relaxing lunches at picnic tables by the Buffalo River. Maplewood State Park, renowned for its stunning fall colors, gives campers even more variety of outdoor activities and camping. Choose to stay overnight in a cabin rental with heat, at a horse camp, or at tent and RV camping sites with showers and flush toilets. From there, it’s easy to wake up and explore scenic trails or fish in the park’s serene lakes. The Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge also showcases the diversity of Minnesota’s ecosystems—day trippers can settle down around a firepit at a lakeside campsite at a nearby RV park.

This old homestead belonged to my belated brother Steve, and after he passed unexpectedly, we decided to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for those interested in sharing a peaceful and modest property. The old barn is a work in progress to eventually become the base to accommodating more travelers and outdoor enthusiasts as finances permit. My son Logan, after having worked in the service industry bartending for 14 years and hosting 100+ global travelers via CouchSurfing out in San Diego, is well-versed in creating an inviting space, enjoying the merits of hard work through the hospitality industry. We look forward to meeting you and sharing/swapping stories around the campfire! Learn more about this land: Our property and profile are in constant change as we are in a stage of development, but we look to share our land with those seeking to enjoy a warm, welcome environment for those fellow wanderers, outdoor enthusiasts, vagabonds, and globetrotters. Logan is a well-traveled backpacker and together we share 5 1/2 acres here in a bustling little touristy town. We enjoy the company of those who endorse small footprint, sustainable practices and like to establish meaningful connections.  All we ask is that you respect the property, our neighbors, and make an effort to add one more new friend before you depart.
