Enjoy our back lot for a private campsite which borders a prairie preserve. Watch the deer come in the morning and evening and listen to our friendly, happy hens cluck away, not to mention all the beautiful song birds. We are happy to share our golf clubs and balls to hit a few into the field. Our kids love it! Tree coverage along with an open field. We cut the field to offer a walking trail to the prairie preserve. There is a tree surronded, very private tent site for tenters, but if you have a camper you can find a spot that works best for you! (The tent site is very private and a camper would not fit.) We are a short 10 min drive to Stillwater but there is so much to do in Somerset! Take a walk around the prairie preserve and kayak down the apple river, but don’t forget the local brewery and boutique shop. There is some great fishing on local lakes in the area as well. We offer a 30 amp electric hook up and our hose for water. We also have a shower tent with a camping porta potty.

23mi from Lake Elmo Park Reserve · 1 site · Tent
Welcome to Campsite in Wonderland Woods! Discover the perfect getaway at our private campsite nestled in the trees on the bank of a secluded waterfowl preserve, Wonderland Woods Campsite is a nature lovers paradise! Explore our 40 acre property, including You-Pick flowers, kayak the 466 acre spring-fed pond, walk the paths through the woods, or relax in the hammock as you close your eyes and listen for all the nature sounds. Our Flower Farm has unique experiences you may enjoy during your stay including You-Pick Flowers, workshops and events (additional fees to be paid through Two Bees & A Bud website). We also sell our honey, maple syrup and eggs.  There is a short walk from the parking area to the camping area. This walk takes roughly 8 minutes and we will provide a wagon for you to transport your things. Just a 20 minute drive from Hudson, WI or Stillwater, MN, our campsite is the perfect getaway to escape the hustle of the city. Good to note: Our pond is a beautiful kayaking pond with lots of waterfowl, but not great for fishing, swimming or paddle boarding. We recommend Perch Lake which is a 15 min drive, for a great swimming and paddleboarding experience.

Twin Folk Farms

29mi from Lake Elmo Park Reserve · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Previously a 100 acre century farm, this fertile land was tended to by generations of old time farmers. Their dairy cows pastured in areas which we now graze sheep.  The restored quarry provided gravel for the nearby highway restoration and local projects.The property is currently a mix of hay ground, cropland, pasture, forest, and quarry. Twin sisters, Darla and Kayla, and their families live across the road from each other and own the surrounding 140 acres. They keep busy planting/tending trees, making hay, moving fence for grazing animals, operating a farm business called Twin Folk Farms (pastured meat, camps, etc), and raising their families.Learn more about this land:- This site is at the edge of a restored quarry, sheep pasture, and wooded hillside.- The site is tucked down a flat mowed path, so it feels very private and protected. - You can hike up a path to the sheep pasture. Sometimes sheep are there, sometimes elsewhere on the farm. You can hike the other direction and check out the restored quarry. We have paths all around the property, so feel free to respectfully explore.- You can't see the highway from this site, but you can hear it. It's super handy to be able to hop out of your campsite haven and onto the hwy, but be aware that you will hear vehicles.- There's a Mississippi river boat launch a few miles down the road, so feel free to park your boat at the bottom of the quarry driveway.- The Hay Creek riding trails are 25 minutes away, so contact us if you want to set up a place in the quarry to park your horses and trailer for the night. - We are certified to sell meat straight off of the farm (Twin Folk Farms), so contact us if you want to purchase your meat and have it delivered to your campsite. You can also set up a time to come up to the farm and purchase meat. - The beautiful, historic town of Red Wing is 10 minutes from our farm. You'll find a mix of modern amenities and historic shops to suit your fancy.

The Farm at Heirloomista

29mi from Lake Elmo Park Reserve · 2 sites · Lodging
The Farm used to be part of a larger, old farm until one day it was parceled off. It sat vacant for 15 years until I bought it and turned in into an off-grid, working farm. It's now it the seventh season of growing heirloom vegetables, fruit and herbs. Sign up for a farm tour or shop the Farm Shop to stock up on all the local produce + proteins. As a nature-lover, I designated 2 acres to pollinator habitat. Come walk the path through and discover all the critters that like to hang out in this safe haven. Learn more about this land: Enjoy an night on the farm: Leave your tent at home and camp in the open-air a-frame tucked in to a pocket of poplars and evergreens in the pollinator habitat. Stay up to watch the star with no light pollution. Wake up to the cranes visiting the fields in the morning.

Stone Creek Farm

31mi from Lake Elmo Park Reserve · 6 sites · Tents, Lodging
Situated on 36 acres, this working farm is 2 miles West of Taylors Falls. Dan bought this property with the intention of growing stone fruits (plums, peaches, apricots and cherries) using sustainable and organic practices because health and wellness matter to them! They are still in the process of improving their property. Many of the building on the property were in poor condition, including the old barn foundation which is now one of Dan and Danielle favorite places to keep cool in the summer. After they had excavated all the debris (which took years) they were able to transform it with gardens and fire pit for all to enjoy. They love sharing what they have been blessed with! They hope you enjoy their place as much as they do! Feel free to ask them to show you around or even get your hands dirty with them as they plant or harvest.
