This is a very private location. In its former life this property was a limestone quarry. Evidence of it's history remain with high rock walls on both ends of the property. In the center of the property is about 5 acres that is flat and covered with wildflowers and small trees. There are several good options for camping in this area. Surrounding this area is another 15 acres of hills and trees great for hiking and enjoying the beautiful view of the Mississippi River below. There is a boat ramp just a mile down the hill for boating or fishing on the Mississippi and the city of La Crosse, WI and La Crescent, MN are each only about a five minute drive. Great River Bluffs State Park and countless other recreational opportunities are just minutes away.This is a very private location.  In its former life this property was a limestone quarry.  Evidence of it's history remain with high rock walls on both ends of the property.

Beautiful campsite. There is a nice, short hike up to an overlook, an extremely clean porta-potty, and an area to purchase firewood. Easy to find and clear communication. Very quiet. It was a really lovely stay. I would definitely camp there again.

What a sweet surprise to find a campground in a quarry! Fall colors at their peak, I think I made at least a dozen pics I’m proud of!

Great spot! The fall colors on the drive in and from the lookout were amazing. We camped in Corner Cove, which had a great atmosphere and privacy. Plenty of space for a car and a large tent. Access to firewood and a trash can on site was also a huge convenience.

Erica was very kind and met us at the entrance. The site was large and 2 chairs were provided at the fire pit. There was a picnic table as well. We did not build a fire as it was very windy and dry. We appreciated the privacy and lovely views.

Awesome site to explore southern MN’s driftless area. Loved the area and the Quarry! We stayed in Curve Corner and it was great. Erica kept us posted and was absolutely fantastic to work with. We’ll be back!
