Portable toilet-No TP

Great staff! Helpful. Pulled out privacy tent to remedy toilet concerns. Small flies or gnats quite annoying. Pretty, quiet, lush. Would worry about mosquitoes in late summer.

1 night tenting

Great little campground with nice staff/owners. The tent sites are nicely tucked away from the RVs, with a row of bushes to separate you from your neighbor. Nice shade. I didn't check out the Porta potty set up for the tenters but hiked up to the building instead. Very clean! I wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy the activities in the area along the Hennepin canal but we had a family wedding to attend in Michigan the next day.

Ugh…

This place was not kid friendly… We thought with the pedal carts and other kid activities it would be a fun place…. This is the first place our kids did not feel welcomed. They were yelled at by the owners and threatened us about our kids climbing trees…. We didn’t feel welcomed after that and will NEVER stay at this place again. We have heard from others that this has happened to them as well.

Good place to just 1 night.

They are super welcoming. Perfectly working hook ups, quality air and quite place. The only problem is the campsites are too close to each other.

Great Little Capmground

Stayed here only 1 night - bit would love to come back for a longer stay.

Very Clean, very goos hosts/owners and a great location near the town of Geneseo and right along a river for kayak, Canoe, SUP activity.

Very Wooded sites - with old huge trees.   Sights are a little close together, but didn't feel crowded.

Also stayed during a vintage camper event and saw some great old-school campers and Motorhomes.

Great campsite in a thriving small town to explore

Great place to camp! Right on the Hennepin Canal. RV, tent, Cabins, and Yurt camping. The couple that run this campsite are so sweet! Pedal bikes for kids (and grown ups), a spray ground, and more! Two local breweries in town and tons of shopping and food options.
