#9 Off Grid Stargazing Campsite with Private Firepit
Aimee reached out once we were approved and notified us of potential gps delays due to construction, excellent communication! She was kind enough to wait for our late check in and showed us to our site, the convenient on site fire wood add on and in general flexibility for checking in/out really stands out. If you don't mind the occasional nearby night traffic and the locomotive workforce then you'll have a quiet, peaceful and perfect spot for a city getaway or even stargazing with a clear sky. Thank you Aimee! Abe and Alan

#6 Off Grid Stargazing Private Firepit, Max of 3 vehicles, 6 tents, 12 people
My friends and I loved tent camping on Aimee’s land! The site we stayed at was very private, you could slightly see another site but you cannot hear them or really anything, very peaceful, cozy site. Good fire wood. Woods to explore around the land. When the clouds clear, or if you go on a clear night the starts are SUPER bright and pretty. If you’re wanting to explore duluth or Gooseberry falls, it’s not a very far drive at all, Duluth about 15 minutes and Gooseberry about an hour. Highly recommended to anyone who comes across this site.!

This is such a gorgeous spot! The host has created an amazing space that is both, cozy and beautiful. Each camping area is well separated and special in its own way. The wild flowers, lush greenery, well carved out pathways, and clean outhouse, were just what I needed after being on the road! I would highly recommended this spot to anyone.

I booked this spot on a whim a few months back with some pals and didn’t think much about it until I pulled up! Aimee was so kind and her space is perfect! So close to Duluth but far enough so the light pollution is no problem! I spent my first night solo camping and felt EXTREMELY safe and at home here! Lots of wild life and the star gazing was out of this world!!!! After chasing good stargazing spots all over for a few years this was my first big win! You can see everything! So grateful for my weekend away on this hidden treasure!!! We will be back!

#4 Off Grid Stargazing No Firepit
I recommend this site if you want a peaceful & secluded space close to Duluth and many state parks. This was a wonderful find when all the state park camp spots were full for the weekend. Aimee was super responsive and we ended up upgrading to a spot that allowed fires so we could cook and sleep under the stars. There were other sites booked but we didn’t see anyone else while we were there - it was perfect for a secluded space on a beautiful piece of land.

My boyfriend and I just needed a place to sleep for a night and this was perfect. It was quiet but filled with the calming noise of nature. We car camped for the first time and it went so well that we are thinking of doing it again soon. I am so glad I didn’t stop looking for a place to sleep on Airbnb because now we have some amazing new memories from this experience. Thank you Aimee
