Description

A family-run campground originally designed to give I-35 construction workers a place to call home back in 1976 has transformed into a home away from home for many as they venture out for weekend getaways, cross country travels, and participate in numerous sporting events in the area.

We are open April 15-October 15, weather permitting, as Mother Nature decides on the last and first hard freeze of the winter, not us. Originally an old dairy farm homesteaded in 1853, remnants of the big woods from Laura Ingalls Wilder tales and organic cornfields surround the grounds, giving plenty of space for lightning bugs to play and incredible views of the Milky Way at night.

Full-service hookups available, a playground for the kids, a small convenience store and the Historic Straight River Bridge Pavilion can be found here. Fishing, boating, bird watching, hiking and more are all close by.

An hour south of the Twin Cities(Mall of America, Prince and Charles Schultz Museums, etc.), 15 minutes from Medford Outlet Mall, and ten minutes north of Owatonna, you will find us at Exit 32, just across the freeway from Hope, MN, which happens to be home of the best better in the world.

Great old campground

The folks were really sweet. We just drove in on a Saturday afternoon and they had a place for us. We have a RTT and needed eclectic to charge our generator. Fair price of $26 right next to the restroom and showers which are very clean!! One other camper will be joining us back here. The park is older and lots of full timers but they are on the other side of the buildings from us. We have great 5G AT&T. Wry peaceful with the sound of laughter in the background from kids playing.

Amazingly friendly owners!

Stopped for an overnight, very friendly and helpful! Close to interstate but very peaceful. Owner saw us to our site and lined us up for hookups, saw a lot of families and couples enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings. Good Sam discount. Cat, who hadn't travelled before, was fascinated by everything going on. Stay was September 12.

Wonderful campground

For working here from 8 hours away it's perfect for for location for us and the 1600 for the season even better there were a few rules and regulations that caught me off guard but they do require you to mow the lawn and well not as bad as I make it sound the give you a mower and gas so 15min and no one is in your area then but it's a good spot
