Welcome to the Double J! Of the 71 acres we own, about half is tillable and the other half is woods and pastures for our horses. Within that, there is a beautiful secluded 3-acre meadow nestled down along along a beautiful 1,200 foot stretch of the Zumbro River where we have 5 spacious tent/RV campsites. While the campsites are all adjacent to each other along the river, they are each very spacious (the smallest being 100' wide and 75' deep), with some mature trees scattered around. Each sites (except Site #1) is able to accommodate up to 8 people and more than one tent or RV. There is a small meadow above all the sites where campers can play catch or other games. We provide and maintain a centrally located outhouse and keep the entire area mowed throughout the year. All sites offer great shade trees (perfectly spaced for hanging up a hammock) and access to the river - great for those hot summer days! Water activities to be enjoyed include fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and tubing (equipment not included). Some campers will drop in upstream at the Covered Bridge Park and float down to their campsite. The Zumbro River, especially in the fishing hole, offers great fishing including Trout, Small-mouth, Red-horse, and an occasional Northern or Sauger. Campers are welcome to to meander out into our pastures to pet our two horses, Shiloh and Champ. Also, we are just over a mile from town where you can visit Covered Bridge Park which has a Frisbee golf course and a nice play area for younger kids. Reserving adjacent sites, or all of the sites, makes for the ideal setting for a large family or group camp-out. In order to prevent overcrowding, we do reserve the right to limit number of sites, or campers per site based on overall parties/campers in the camping area. We will notify you if there are any limits at the time of your booking. We enjoy being able to share our property with others, and it is our desire to promote a safe, peaceful, family-friendly environment, therefore, be sure to note, we do have a NO ALCOHOL policy. PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to read the "RV Details" on the site information page as the road to the camping area may limit the type or size of RV due to a couple dips, a sharper curve, and it's steeper slope. Also, keep in mind, we reserve the right to cancel any reservations due to heavy rains or floods that may require our sites some additional time to dry out sufficiently. For updates and notice of last minute cancellations be sure to follow us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/DoubleJCamping As is customary for most campgrounds, we ask that if you bring in your own firewood that it be kiln dried. Dry firewood can be purchased for $5.00/bundle. TIP - Being we do not reimburse campers in the event of rain (unless campground is flooded or too muddy), we highly recommend campers take advantage of Hipcamp’s Weather Guarantee option when booking. With Minnesota’s unpredictable weather it allows you to get reimbursed for any days it rains over a specified amount, even if you choose to stick out the rain! The cost is very reasonable making it almost a no-brainer! Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions! We look forward to being able to serve you!

We loved it here! Was a quiet space and felt relatively private even with other campers around. The river was beautiful and plenty of space to put up the tent. Would recommend staying here and going again!

Site #5

My experience at the Double J campsite #5 was nothing short of serene and rejuvenating. The river that flows through the site is incredibly peaceful, creating a beautiful backdrop for relaxation. Surrounded by lush nature and abundant wildlife, the setting felt like a true escape into the outdoors. The campsites themselves are well-spaced, providing just the right amount of privacy without feeling isolated. I appreciated the convenience of being able to purchase bundles of wood right on-site and easily pay through Venmo, making the logistics of camping seamless. Jeff, the host, was exceptionally friendly and attentive. He promptly answered all my questions before my arrival, ensuring a smooth check-in process and a warm welcome. The porta-potty was surprisingly clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of the experience. One of the highlights was gathering around the campfire in the evenings. It provided a perfect opportunity to unwind and connect with nature, exactly what I needed to recharge. Overall, my stay at Double J's campsite exceeded expectations. It's a fantastic retreat for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature's tranquility while enjoying modern conveniences and hospitality. I can't wait to return!

Site #3

It was a beautiful spot! The camp sites were very close. I didnt feel there would be privacy had there been other campers there. Mybe a little spendy to go camping. $95.34 for 2 nights plus $75 for wood because i like to always have a fire going. On top of the cost, we had to keep dogs on leash...though there was great distances with trees to put lines up for the dogs to run on. The host was very kind and friendly. We were able to leave our bag of trash when we left. It was a good place, ill probably be baked whe it's very in season. Thank you for my 2nd camping adventure so far this year! -Vanessa

Site #1

Host was fantastic. A quiet little spot, very peaceful. Barred owl, loons and I’m pretty sure I heard a bobcat. Great for a short stay or longer one.
