- Cabin Available Year Round - Campground Open May 1 - Oct 31 Tucked in a valley among rolling hills just 70 miles east of St. Paul, discover a stunning sanctuary surrounded by hardwoods, pines and birch groves. Meander a walking trail system through 30 acres of woods and prairie. In 2019, all 10 acres of fields were planted as dedicated Monarch/pollinator habitat. This is a full sensory experience - flowered meadow and spectacular celestial nights with serenading hoot owls, frogs, crickets and yips of coyotes in the distance. Our chickens do their daily forage through the yard and woods. This is a birder's delight turkey and deer being very common sightings. Our unique greenhouse and pergola are common use areas for all guests to enjoy. The pergola is a large cushioned area providing shade to read a book, charge a device, play cards, enjoy a beverage, eat a meal. Explore the greenhouse production of tomatoes, peppers, and ginger growing along with flowers and other hothouse varieties. Fill water containers, or use the large stainless steel sink (hot/cold water) and countertops to prep meals or wash up. You will also find a beverage service counter, yard games for use, and any on-farm items for sale in this area- firewood, plants, eggs and produce. Tucked discreetly behind the greenhouse is 1 of 2 drop-offs for garbage and recycling, and also 1 of 2 ultra clean port-a-potties found on property. *** We're family friendly! Adult occupancy is applied to 13 years and older. There is no occupancy charge/limit for children 12 years of age or under. *** We have 6 sites to offer. Providing a historical backdrop is a fully restored Norwegian cabin built in 1894 (completed July 2022). Adjacent to the greenhouse is 2 RV (or tent) sites with full water and 30 amp hookups (Meadow Camp East and West). 2 additional sites accommodate RVs or tents. (Hill Camp and Sumac Camp). One of which is a very large area that is ideal for groups (Sumac Camp). Lastly, we have 1 walk-in tent site, the most private (Pine Camp), a short distance into the woods behind the greenhouse. Don't let our sleepy little town deceive you. The locals have huge hearts - are generous creatives, with ingenious businesses that spill over with hospitality. Uber local is 2 Amish businesses within a 15 minute walk - a bakery and a woodworking shop. We're happy to direct you to other local highlights: on-farm meat sales, herbal apothecary, goat milk products, home goods, local microbreweries and quilt shops to name a few. Local town events draw huge crowds with live music and fun for all ages. We are so blessed to steward this private oasis and look forward to sharing it with you!

Great camping experience. Hosts were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. We had a tent and 3 hammocks and had plenty of space at the campsite. We had a blast playing with the dog. Port a potty was extremely clean and just a short quick walk. It was even equipped with a motion sensor light. Plenty of room for the kids to run around and play.

Tent camping on Allen’s land was incredible! Having a sink available was so convenient for washing dishes. The portapottys were very clean. Our site was the perfect size for two tents. Make sure you consider that the meadow sites don’t have any shade minus the umbrella over the table, we luckily brought our pop up tent for shade. The fresh produce was delicious and fairly priced. The trails through the meadows were wide and well maintained. It was a beautiful sight and very quiet, there were only 2 other campers while we were there. Allen was great to chat with and knowledgeable about events in the area. There’s an amish bakery about a mile from the site with fresh pies, donuts, and bread. We will definitely be coming back to camp here again.

Good Root Growers provides a wonderful place to relax & get away from the hustle of everyday life. My husband and I booked Meadow Camp East #3 and stayed for the weekend in our camper. The site is very easy to pull into/ leave from, and the electric/ water worked well. In the morning we woke up to the beautiful meadow flowers, which helped start our days off right. Allen & Sue take wonderful care of the property, and it was a pleasure to walk the trails around the property. Another feature that we enjoyed was the greenhouse and being able to walk amongst the plants growing. Dependent on what is ripe (tomatoes, peppers, etc.) produce can be purchased along with farm fresh chicken eggs (delicious!). Just down the way there is an Amish bakery- They have some of the best donuts I've ever tasted amongst other baked goods (bread, cookies, fruit fry pies) ! I would highly recommend this property and look forward to coming back :) Top notch hosts!

This place is fantastic! The site was clean and level. The surroundings were beautiful. It's peaceful and quiet. The site had a a firepit, picnic table, and swinging chair. The porta potty is about 50 feet from the site. Close enough but not too close. We're looking forward to going back! Bring cash for the Amish bakery on Fridays and Saturdays. It's delicious!

We camped in a meadow of wild flowers - nice! Allen and Sue are very accommodating hosts. It's a very tranquil area with a little town just 7 minutes away where you can pick up last minute supplies. There was water and electricity right at our campsite and a clean porta-potty just a short walk away. I never saw a mosquito! This is the second time I've camp on their property and I will be back again. It's only 1 1/2 hours drive east of the Twin Cities.

What a beautiful and serene HipCamp! The meadows and mowed paths were lovely to walk after our arrival and the campsites spacious and private. The HipCamp dog (a 2 year old border collie) was the perfect playmate for our young pup. The host was kind and shared some of the story of the property when we asked.

This is a cool property to relax, country setting away from any big cities so it was a treat for me. I car camped and it was a perfect as I was able to back right up to the fire pit and picnic table. My dog loved the mowed walking trails. My site was close to potty and near the green house where they let me wash my dishes. Poncho the dog was friendly too. Would for sure stay here again in the future!

Our family loved tent camping on Allen and Sue’s beautiful property over Memorial Day weekend. Peaceful. Welcoming hosts, including a friendly dog and cat! Had everything we needed. Our kids enjoyed exploring the woods, walking on mowed trails through the prairie (imagining it in full bloom!), playing yard games we brought, and picking out some plants to buy from the on-site greenhouse. Thank you, Allen and Sue!
