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!

Site #3

My family loved camping on Jeff and Julie’s property. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. My kids had a blast playing the river and catching fish. Jeff was accommodating and always made sure everyone had everything they needed. The entire property was picturesque.

Site #3

We literally only booked this to sleep for the night after a concert at treasure island but once we got there, we were pleasantly surprised by how amazing it was! We will definitely be back for actual camping!

Site #1

Jeff was an exceptional host! He made an effort to try and greet every camper when they arrived to ensure they knew where everything was and if they had any questions. We stayed at site 1 which is the closest campsite to the entry point. In my opinion, site 1 had the best view of the river. The site itself was large and you felt far enough away from the other campsites. However, there isn’t as much flat ground as the other campsites but still offered plenty of space for multiple tents. Overall, we had an amazing experience. The latrine was very clean and Jeff always made sure there was enough firewood available. Also, fresh water from the hose was right next to our campsite which was very convenient. We even managed to catch a few bass up the river from our campsite. If you are thinking about camping here you most certainly should give it a shot!

Site #1

Liked the creek sounds. Steep gravel drive to get down to sites. Lots of junk in creek-made swimming out of the question. No trash can on site.

Site #4

Great private site with direct access to the river. Plenty of room for multiple tents and campsite activities. Highly recommend and will likely be back in the future.
