Tired of the traffic? Can't stand all the continuous noise from the craziness of the cities? Do we have a place for you less than an hour away from the twin cities or Rochester! It is a 35 acres site with walking trails (3 miles). This property has a creek flowing through the property. It is the middle of nowhere. We are on a gravel road with very little traffic. We have 3 spots for tents and 1 for RV/campers. Each has a stone fire-ring & picnic table/wood table. We would love to have you out here. Restore & renew at what we consider to be our own retreat-like oasis. Pets are welcome and children will love playing by the brook and walking the trails. Check in after 3 (no entrance after sunset), Check Out at Noon Pack in Pack out- no littering please We are Rustic so no public restrooms/showers No smoking 2 vehicles max unless prior approval with management Pets OK- on leash in public areas/trails, off leash at campsite OK ***No entrance to grounds after sunset Onsite: Firewood available ($5 a bundle cash preferred or Venmo) Dennison (2 miles): Gas station & Fireside restaurant (check out their ribs, wings & waffle fries!)

Loved camping on Mark and Wendy's property! They have lovely views and a nice state park nearby! Their communication was also top tier!

Mark was very friendly and led me to the campsite on arrival. Peaceful, beautiful, and only very minimal noise. The picnic table and fire pit were a great touch! Gorgeous in late summer.

Brookside Meadows Tent Site
*Serene Escape on 36 magical acres*
Perched atop a gentle hill, the site offered breathtaking views over a vast expanse of treetops, creating a natural tapestry that was both humbling and awe-inspiring. -Wildlife galore at every turn and peripheral , offering a sense of peace and privacy that is hard to find in more crowded campsites. The air was fresh, as well as the natural spring water running through the middle of the prairie. As night falls, the countryside quickly transforms, revealing a blanket of stars that seemed almost within reach. The moon phase delivered illumination to the landscape making for good natural night light up on the hillside! Most importantly to be known is ; The hospitality of Mark & Wendy during our stay was immense and magical adding a special touch to the entire experience. In essence - this is the stay of the season for us and staying on this property is not just a retreat into nature, but a truly enriching encounter with wonderful people who see sharp and live freely with bright spirits doing what they love.
