The campsite has an absolutely beautiful view. It’s rare to find a completely private spot with no other campsites. The location was easy to find and close to a small town and not far from a larger city.
I will be back again!

We had a wonderful time camping here with our kids! Secluded, quiet, and great for stargazing when the sky’s clear. Our kids loved it, and having plenty of split firewood waiting for us was a nice treat!

This is such a beautiful, serene spot overlooking the river with plenty of room for our dog to run off his energy! Susan was quick to get back to me with answers to my questions and was warm & friendly with replies.. She has a wonderful garden that she allowed us to pick vegetables and herbs from and she wouldn’t let us pay for them, which was so generous! This was our second time here; we’ll be back next year! Thanks so much Susan!

Such a great retreat from the city!
I used the provided kayak for a sunset paddle and the firewood was at site as well.
Gorgeous sunset and even better sunrise!
Quiet, private, and the view was stunning. I took a bunch of photos to make oil paintings. Bob Ross! Haha
The host was so great helping me back out on my tear drop’s maiden voyage.
Nice guy! Thanks Adam!
Only an hour from TC and plenty of places to stock up for needs along the way.
Loved it.

The campsite at Christine's place was so beautiful. We enjoyed the privacy and the views of the lake were fantastic. We loved that firewood was provided at no extra charge and kayaks were available to rent.

Weekend Trip to Hoppensteadt Hills
Very last minute, I realized I needed to go camping: my stay in Site 1, Birch, was just what I was seeking for some nature nurturing. The site was private as promised (in fact I had whole campground to myself) and beautifully tucked in the woods. The yurt tent is well designed (side pockets, table in middle around center pole, also with pockets for stashing gear). Outhouse was a bit of a hike, though even the walk was pleasant, and so clean: the automatic light inside (and solar lights outside) was unexpected nice touch! I enjoyed the barred owl, sand hill cranes at night; great blue heron on one of our hikes on the property. I didn't think about it being duck hunting season, so the early morning and late evening distant gun sounds were scary for my dog, and the 2nd night fox barking was quite startling! But a good reminder we're in the woods! Maryam was helpful with answering questions during booking.

1 night at Hoppensteadt Hills
We had a nice stay at Maryam’s campsite. The tent was clean and the area was peaceful, which made for a relaxing night. We arrived after dark and quickly realized how dark it gets since there are no exterior lights provided—definitely recommend bringing plenty of lanterns or flashlights. The grass and surrounding area could use a bit of trimming as it was a little overgrown, and we did notice quite a few large spiders both on and inside the tent, so keep that in mind if you’re not a fan of bugs. The queen-sized air mattress we brought barely fit inside the tent, but it worked out okay. The host wasn’t super responsive, but we did appreciate being able to check out late, which was a nice touch. Overall, the experience was good and we gave it five stars.

This was a pleasant surprise. Nice and remote location on a small hill with horses close by. You may hear dogs barking from afar but not disturbing. Fire pit also there.

Weekend Trip to Hoppensteadt Hills
I had a wonderful weekend at Mary Ann's property. I was in the Birch site which was very private, with lots of trees. There was a place to hang my hammock and the yurt was very comfortable. Have a beautiful trails to walk on, and I could hear lots of wildlife. Marianne was very warm and welcoming and can't think of one single complaint.

Loved the site! Incredible views and the hosts were great and provided us water and firewood. He even mowed the grass to make the site neat and comfortable. Our dog had a great time running around and enjoying nature too!

A beautiful escape just an hour from the twin cities! Took our pups here and they were so happy to have trails to roam and wildflowers galore! We slept soundly and felt like we were the only people within miles

We absolutely had a marvelous camping weekend at Maryam‘s land. The whole family is so friendly if you want to connect. There are four sites far enough apart, where you feel like you’re the only ones there, with an occasional friendly noise further away. Our anxious dog had the best time exploring and felt very safe being away from our suburban neighborhood. They clearly take good care of their land, they even have the most beautiful and delicious Honeycrisp apple farm – do yourself a favor and buy a bag on your way out. The Porta potty is the cleanest one I’ve ever been in. Ever. Smells great, Maryam said they switch it out every week, there’s even a mirror in there and it’s always fully stocked. It was a highlight! There are beautiful paths to explore – plenty of quiet time in the canopy of woods to read, play games, cook over the fire. Having the large, clean tent already set up made the weekend a bonus! We could fit 1 queen sized air mattress, 2 cots, and still had plenty of space for our stuff. We had a wonderful weekend – we’ll be back and will recommend to others!

If you're looking to truly unplug and reconnect with nature, this off-the-grid campsite is the perfect escape. Nestled along the stunning Chippewa River, the views are nothing short of breathtaking. Waking up to the views of the river and the peaceful rustle of the grasses and trees was pure serenity.
At night, the sky comes alive . . . on a clear night it's like sleeping beneath a galaxy. Literally, this spot is awesome. It was one of the most peaceful and grounding experiences I've had in a long time.
Susan, the host, made everything even better. She was so incredibly kind and thoughtful—welcoming, helpful, and genuinely caring about our comfort and experience. It's rare to meet someone who so clearly loves sharing her little slice of paradise. This place is something special. I’ll definitely be back. Highly, highly recommend for anyone needing a true nature retreat.

Camping here was an amazing experience, the trails are beautiful and so is the campsite itself. It was very private and clean. Staying here gave me a sense of solitude my wife and I were looking for to get away from our hectic lives!

This was a terrific spot to camp, it was secluded on peninsula with tons of wildlife. We stayed for just one night and saw deer, pilliated woodpeckers, trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, gulls, muscat, multiple species of water fowl, and even 3 river otter that swam right up to us! They thought of everything you could ask for facilities wise. Would come back if we are in the area again. Was a good place for us to take our 6mo old in his first camping trip without worring about disturbing anyone with his cries at night.

Group trip
The site is lovely, secluded and has everything you need. The wagon was really helpful for hauling gear in and it was a nice, easy walk through the woods. I had mentioned to Christine that we were camping as part of my daughter's birthday party, and she very sweetly hung balloons at the site! Everything was as described, and communication was great. Christine even offered to loan us gear when some of ours got wet in an unexpected rain storm. We loved picking bouquets and enjoying live music Friday evening at the farm, and watching the flock of swans on the lake in the morning.

Absolutely amazing. At first we weren’t sure about the unoccupied camper sharing the site with us, but we used the porch for staging various things and the kids enjoyed putting a “play” on for us. The kayaks were an amazing experience and definitely worth the add on. This was our 3 kids’ first camp experience: 4, 8, and 11. These kids are diehard iPad kids and they didn’t even ask about their devices even once. They had so much fun exploring, kayaking, swimming, finding bugs, and sharing in the camp chores. The site was large enough for us to have a camp kitchen, a bigger and a smaller tent, plus a sanitary tent (bucket toilet and shower). The added amenities of the electricity and water were indispensable for our large and inexperienced crew. We can’t thank Adam enough for the incredible experience his land offered us!
