The campsite is nestled in a quiet, secluded area, offering a peaceful escape into nature. However, it can feel a bit neglected with overgrown grass and an abandoned atmosphere, which may not appeal to everyone. While some campers appreciate the solitude and natural beauty, others have noted issues like lack of amenities, unkempt fire pits, and occasional noise from nearby residents. Overall, it's a spot for those who value privacy and simplicity, but it could benefit from a bit more care and maintenance.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
Basically a camp site in the middle of nowhere at a abandoned yard. Maybe ok for hunters, but not recreational camping. Only good part, one site has full hookups.
It served its purpose for a quick overnight. Very quiet. We heard cows mooing and saw deer while taking a walk. No outhouse that we could find. No table to set our camp stove up. We traveled 20 miles to get coffee and breakfast.

Hidden Pines
Wonderful spot away from all the others here, has a firepit and a great view of a huge open grassland, right against pine and other trees. There's a house on the property but I saw no one and it was at least 50 yards away. NOTE: Yes, it's "hidden," ... Just use GPS to get to the campsite, then pass by all the line of spots, to the end of the road, find the house, see a huge open green area, and then drive into and down a bit passing the house, and your site is on the other side of some trees. I have a Prius by the way and it was easy getting in and out.

Fine spot for a stop over night, but if you have time, definitely check out the access to the river. It's beautiful!

This is a beautiful spot but a bit sad. It has an abandoned feel to it - looong grass, overgrown fire pits, empty woodshed. Aside from two seemingly permanent campers, we were the only ones there on a holiday weekend. The full hook ups were a redeeming quality, we could deal with the rest, but definitely room for improvement.

Very private and it was a lovely area. Just to note, it's a 15 minute drive to the Maplewood state park since the road that lets out on the south end is closed. This is totally out of control for the host but just for others planning. Also the grass was super overgrown, almost to my knee in some spots. Everything else was perfect and the host was very quick to respond and helpful.

Hidden Pines Site was cool. The view is beautiful. Firepit area is nice. Not as private feeling as advertised because that pole building is occupied. Seems like an rv park that was given up on because of lack of bookings or something. Grass was looong. Listing says firewood provided, but there was none. Ticks were insane! Overall worth the price, but could be an epic place with a little TLC.

Private, and in a beautiful part of MN….Good communication with the host.
I loved tent camping with my young children here! The hidden seclusion of this site was wonderful. The bathroom was in easy reach though not right next to the spot. The rock bed around the fire entertained children for hours. I did have to follow the instructions with some faith to find the spot, it's very hidden and no gravel road. If my tent wasn't so huge you'd never have known we were there. Grass was clean and soft for putting up the tent. Heard frogs all night and birds all morning.

Awesome little getaway close to Maplewood State Park, perfect for our small little family. Appreciate the privacy, though it is a bit closer to the residence than maybe depicted, still an awesome night. Thistle in and around the fire pit was kinda nasty, but a quick cleanup. Firewood is listed as an amenity, however after purchase- no wood was available. Overall, great little site for a quick trip! Thanks Chad
The positive is that it's a very quiet place in a beautiful area. The only negatives are the dusty gravel road for the last mile or so, and the property itself is quite ordinary. Nice owl hooting at night though!

The site faced the tree line so it felt like you were alone, however there was this ugly useless platform thing that served no purpose that we had to look at from our window view. It’s very very quiet, no noise or light pollution at all. The site is not very level on one side at all make sure you have tons of blocking and an extra sewer hose. The wood we paid for wasn’t at our site, and had ask host about it, we’re told where it was but never found it. I’m sure it was there just not obvious and I should not have had to hunt it down or ask honesty. Our fire pit had a ton old coals and straight up trash in it, plastic wrappers, and old sock. It wasn’t burned or anything not sure why anyone dumped it in there. Lastly the biggest negative was the horse flies! And look not the host fault at all but had I known… idk if the time of year or hot weather but they were relentless at times and they bite, we left early actually. Look this place is rural and quite, beside our pit was well maintained, the price was good, but those flies kinda ruined our trip honestly. In the end I was a little disappointed. I hate to be so negative and other reviews seem to enjoy this site so my opinion was from my experience alone keep that in mind.

Picnic tables would be a great addition! Keep the lawn mowed and spray for bugs. It was quiet and peaceful. Chad was great communicator. We had a great time.

The camp spot worked perfect for my little family! It was secluded, which was perfect being we are working on training our dog. Well kept up- everything was mowed, outhouse was clean, campfire spots were well maintained and plenty of firewood available. Little tricky to find at first but worth the view if you accidentally drive a little far. Chad was great with communication and had good suggestions on where to take the Ranger. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good little get away!

Easy to find, well maintained. Clean outhouse within walking distance. Chad provided as much firewood as I wanted, right next to the fire pit! Always a 5/5!
Started the year off right! Perfect night. Chad was very attentive to my expectations and treated us with the utmost respect. Highly recommend taking the drive to stay at least one night in this secluded, silent, and easily accessible campsite. The Wife, pup, and I had a blast! Thanks again, Chad!

Chad was very helpful and hospitable! A nice place to stop on our way through.
We planned a spontaneous camping trip with the help of Chad, and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend! The area is peaceful, and the fire pit is great! We absolutely loved it.

Nice, clean campgrounds. Host was very responsive and accommodating!
Chad seems to be creating an RV park in the midst of an amazing rural landscape. See the photo. There was one other party there, who were enjoying their music and campfire. We have a camper on our truck, so we drove past the intended spots to a small knoll past the barn. (See pic 2.). I think this was not quite official, but it was lovely and quiet and private. I took a morning walk - didn’t get far because of no mowed paths - which would be easy to make and very appreciated.
If you are heading for Maplewood SP and they are full, or you want a crowded RV spot with water/power/sewer then this place is great. But it is a long way in the countryside for anyone else.
With no toilet, this place is not appropriate for tenters unless you bring a toilet or WAG bags. Plz don’t poop in the woods. Visiting dogs will find it and eat it. That is nasty.

We lucked out from finding this site at the last minute on Labor Day weekend. This was a very quiet area. We were able to enjoy the sounds of birds and very little sounds of traffic. This is a lovely place to take peaceful walks on the road. We very much enjoyed our stay.
