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!

Double J Campsite offers a serene riverside setting, perfect for campers seeking tranquility and nature. The hosts, Jeff and Julie, are consistently praised for their welcoming and attentive nature, ensuring guests have everything they need. Campers appreciate the well-maintained grounds, ample space for tents, and the peaceful sound of the river. However, some guests noted challenges with river access due to steep banks and suggested improvements in amenities like trash cans on site.

Site #3

We loved our experience at double J!! As more private campers, we were definitely lucky to have our pick of the lots since there were no other campers this time around. This space has 5 lots, within view of each other, along the river with a lot of field space and hamocking trees!! This space would be amazing for a family reunion or group camping! This time of year allowed for a pleasantly low river for walking along, fly fishing, and we caught a number of small cubs! The stars were glorious and we were visited by many deer and other woodland creatures in the evenings! It was great to have the ability to get fresh water, use an outhouse and have access to cut wood for a small fee! It was a neat perk to get to visit with the host's horse who was very friendly! What a lovely time it was, we couldn't be more happy with our experience!

Site #1

Great site! Site 1 and 5 are the best two I’d say, 1 for having the burbling creek sounds, 5 is better for more privacy. All of the sites are quite wide open, if there are other people there you will all see each other, but the sites are well kept and the stream they all overlook is quite beautiful. I will absolutely return. The hosts are nice and very communicative. Jeff seems like a great guy. Also the available wood is really nice to have, and when I purchased it was all VERY dry and easy to light and burn.

Site #5

Want to feel like your are away from everything but still within minutes if a town? The Double J is had There is tree coverage, an open field and all of the sites beautiful and situated in the banks of the zumbro river. The hosts are friendly, communicative and have wood available to buy on site. I highly recommend The Double J.

Everything was lovely! Directions were clear. Jeff was who we interacted with, and he was a really cool guy. Very friendly and personable. We loved our #1 campsite! Sleeping to the sound of the river was so nice!

Site #5

Our family did a quick 2 night camping trip at Site #5. Prior to the trip Jeff communicated effectively on directions and expectations of arrival. He met us at the site on arrival and gave us a quick run down (drinking water, property lines, etc). Not only was Site #5 clean, but the entire property was in excellent condition. Five kids ranging from 7-13 explored the river, ran around the green space near the site and visited the horse multiple times. They firmly gave the area an A+. We are very grateful Jeff and Julie allowed us access to their beautiful property.
