Aefintyr is a campground located on Whiskey Hill in the Whitewater River Valley near the town of Elba, MN. The land was used for personal recreation for several years. I've spent countless hours hiking and enjoying observing the seasons, plants, fungus and animals. The vision of a campground was inspired by many camping and backcountry spots throughout the United States, all of the amazing things in the woods, the beautiful blufftop valley views, proximity to a multitude of outdoor activities and adventures. Camps are spacious, secluded and designed to immerse guests in the surrounding woodland.

Convenient, quiet, escape
Located just a few minutes outside of Whitewater State Park, Aefintyr offers both convenience and privacy. Chelsi has everything you need at the top of a very steep mountain - you work for the stay and it’s worth every step. Thank you Chelsi for your above and beyond friendliness and accommodations!

Magical
Magical! Chelsi has built a convenient escape overlooking the stars at Aefintyr. I stayed with her two years ago and the site has only gotten better. When my boyfriend wanted to camp for his birthday I knew just the place to make sure it was an unforgettable experience. From the amenities to the view, we’ll keep coming back. Thank you!

Cozy Cabin!
We had a wonderful family weekend in Cabin #3! The kids especially enjoyed the hammock chairs underneath the cabin. The inside was thoughtfully designed and very comfortable, and having a mini fridge and microwave was a nice bonus. The bathrooms were very clean and convenient, too. Chelsi was very responsive and friendly - a great host. We'll definitely be back for another stay!

Amazing fall trip!
We loved the hike-in tent because everything was already set up for us, the firewood was right by the site, and the forested area was beautiful. We brought our dog and had a great time- it felt private and cozy.
