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!

Joyce was a lovely host and met us when we arrived. Her camping area was flawless and scenic. She provided very kind small touches and the environment was relaxing. We used her site as a stop over during a longer trip but would certainly recommend for a family just wanting to bond and spend a quiet weekend outside together. We have dogs and had the luxury of letting them frolic off leash because we had the place to our selves. There is a small county highway fully out of sight and you can only slightly hear vehicles.

We stayed at Site #5 and really enjoyed it! While it's not totally secluded — you can see the neighboring sites — it still felt peaceful and relaxed. The other campers were quiet and respectful, and the overall vibe was super chill. The site was clean, well-kept, and dog-friendly (huge bonus for us). The host was welcoming, friendly, and responsive, and you can tell they care about the space. We’d definitely come back!

Nice clean campground, mowed and well maintained. Porta potty was clean. The sites are large but there’s isn’t a lot of foliage between them. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Riverfront access is easy, but is pretty mucky in spots. Great place to take the dogs when it’s hot to let them swim or frolick in the water.

So close to the city but it feels like you are hundreds of miles away from everything. Peaceful and a perfect getaway for a weekend or week. I would recommend The Double J to anyone!
We caught a few small fish by the streams but had better luck at Zumbro Lake (which is closed by) for those with smaller kids with no patience.

We recently stayed at campsite #3 with our family of seven (2 parents + 5 kids), and it was such a great trip! The owner, Jeff, was incredibly friendly and the perfect host—he made us feel welcome right away.
Most of our time was spent fishing, and we had a blast. We caught 4 bass, 1 red horse, 2 suckers, 4 trout, and plenty of creek chubs. The kids loved playing in the creek and exploring the area, and the views were beautiful.
A quick note for future campers: sites #1 and #2 have great gravel/rocky creek access that’s ideal for wading and playing, while sites #4 and #5 are more on the mucky side. Site #3 (where we stayed) is the most level, which worked well for us with the kids to hang out and play on shore. All the sites do have some deeper pools along the shores if you’re fishing or just cooling off.
Since we went on a weekday, we basically had the entire campground to ourselves, which was amazing.
Jeff had a fully stocked firewood supply for purchase, and the outhouse was only a short walk up the slope. We didn’t try the water hose since we brought our own. At night, the stars were stunning, there were surprisingly no bugs, and the freeway noise faded away. Cell service was good with Verizon but spotty with T-Mobile.
We grabbed bait from Kwik Trip nearby and also made a stop at the park to see the covered bridge and let the kids play at Castle Park.
Overall, it was a fun, spontaneous little trip. Great fishing, and family-friendly. We’ll definitely be back!
