Enjoy a peaceful campsite along side a prairie lake in Southern MN, where towering oaks shade and fill the landscape. Walk through the woods and tall prairie grass. Sit by the lake with a campfire as you watch for Bald Eagles and Swans. I have paddle boats and canoe available to explore the lake or bring your kayak or paddle board. My farm is designed for RV's, Campers, any thing that is fairly self contained. Water and electricity are available for an additional $25 per day for both. There is a large...very large garden producing a lot, enjoy fresh lettuce, kale, Cucumbers etc and take some for the road. With a mile of lake shore, you can camp in secluded Grass fields, to Oak Savant's.Pitch your tent or RV in a remote Hay/ Grass field in the back, very private. Or you can choose a concrete pad lake side that will accommodate a 48', or chose a grassy spot alongside the lake with chairs and a campfire ring. Large Oak trees provide great shade along with peaceful setting, (15 acres). Walk through the trails through the woods and prairie grass (55 acres) explore the lake with your own canoe, kayak, paddle board or use one of ours. 6 miles away on gravel roads you can visit a winery with wood fired pizza.

Beautiful spot
We had a wonderful time! We had a great view of the lake and beautiful trees. The host was friendly! There’s a concrete pad I could pull through with my 17 ft camper and had access to electricity and water (didn’t use the water). I hope to be back.

Great Stay
Peaceful & relaxing. Feed some farm animals if you like. And like us maybe you see some baby pigs being born. Quiet or as exciting as you want to make it.

Nice Quiet stay..
We loved our stay at Bryan’s farm. Bryan and Natalie are the best. They have, and hopefully I don’t get this wrong: 3 cows, 3 sheep, 1 goat, 3 pigs, dogs and 2 kitty’s, and the orange kitty is adorable . They said its name was Kitty., we changed it to Cheetos because of her color. She is the sweetest. Bryan said they couldn’t touch her because she would bite and scratch. She slept with me in the camper both nights. The view of the lake is beautiful. We love to bird watch and they get a fairly good number of birds. We use the Merlin bird app and heard many different birds, some we don’t get where we live. The lake is not for swimming unless you like lily pads and other weeds, but if you choose to canoe or paddle boat, which they have both, it will be perfect. Natalie is working on creating hiking trails and doing an amazing job. She has planted flowers and other plants along the trails. New Ulm is fairly close and they have the Schell’s brewery which you can tour. We forgot to get eggs for breakfast and ended up in the town of Hanska. Nice little town. They have a convenience store . They also have the “Last Chance Saloon”. They have good food and entertainment. Bryan and Natalie were the best. Instructions for set up were spot on. They always asked if we needed anything, to just ask. The only downside is if you stay on the slab there are a ton of flys since close to the cows. Just remember, you are staying at a farm.. The rest are fine! Thank you Bryan and Natalie.

Just What We Needed
Bryan & Natalie are awesome hosts and quick to respond when we had questions. Our spot was picture perfect, and we felt like family. We arrived with a 24’ travel trailer, grandkids and the dog, and we were able to park on a nice level spot with plenty of shade and space to set up. We camped for 2 nights/3 days to make some memories with our grandkids which we definitely got to do, they had a great time. They helped Natalie with goats, visited with 3 steer and so much more. There is a garden to pick from as well as apple trees, with quiet gravel roads to ride bikes. New Ulm and Mankato are a short drive if you want to explore as well as the town of Lake Crystal. We love the Minnesota State Park system, but I think we loved the uniqueness of a farm stay more - less people and more laid back meant more relaxing for us. We recommend the peaceful location, thank you Bryan & Natalie for your hospitality!
