Weekend Trip to Edge Hill

We easily located Brian's spot and enjoyed exploring the cute town of Luverne as well as Beaver Creek (The Cidery!) as well as Sioux Falls. For larger rigs I would recommend spots 1 or 2. We ended up in spot 4 and we fit in it just fine, but we're not the best at backing up and it took us several tries due to the angle. (That's on us, not Brian!)

Very well situated and includes full hookups. Great view overlooking the lake. Was greeted promptly and we were set up in no time. Great, safe spot for an overnight (or two or three). Be sure to check out JJs Diner for a good meal.

Brian’s camp site was easy to access and utilize. It was close to some great restaurants and located right off on interstate 90. Brian was kind, and waiting for us when we arrived. We had a pretty view and everything we needed to be comfortable before heading on our way. Thanks Brian!

Great place to stop for a night or two. It is a gravel driveway across from a town owned lake. Brian met us when we pulled in and gave us the lay of the land. It was a very quiet and pleasant stop. If in the area again, we would definitely spend another night there.

It was nice to have full hookups at the site. The area was calm and pleasant. The site was spacious and easy to get in and out of. Brian was easy to work with and helpful. Will definitely stay again when coming to Luverne.
