    Several state parks and county parks near Farmington, Minnesota feature rustic to modern cabin accommodations with varying amenities. Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins provide contactless entry systems with code access and include four sleeping spots with two bunk beds and two convertible couches. Most cabins come equipped with electric heating for colder months but typically lack air conditioning. Afton State Park Campground offers camper cabins with electricity, heating, and screened porches, while St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park features cabins with more extensive amenities. "Each cabin has four sleeping spots: 2 bunk beds, and the 2 couches convert to beds. There's a heater inside, but no AC, which makes these the most suitable during the spring and fall," notes a review of Whitetail Woods.

    Reservations for cabin accommodations should be made well in advance, especially during peak seasons. William O'Brien State Park Campground provides one-room cabins with enclosed porches, bunk beds, tables with benches, heating, and electricity. Cooking is prohibited inside most cabins, with fire rings and picnic tables provided outside for meal preparation. At Whitetail Woods, cabins must be reserved 120 days in advance, as they are consistently booked, particularly on weekends. Pet policies vary by location, with some parks prohibiting pets entirely. A review of a William O'Brien State Park cabin mentioned: "The cabins are one room plus an enclosed porch. Furnishings are bunk beds and a table with benches. The cabin was heated and had electricity."

    Most cabins provide basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own bedding, towels, and personal items. Cooking facilities range from outside fire rings with grates to, in some cases, small appliances like coffee makers and microwaves. Whitetail Woods allows slow cookers and coffee pots inside their cabins, but all other cooking must be done outdoors. Bathroom facilities are typically centralized, requiring walks from the cabins, and include heated restrooms and pay showers in most locations. Baker Park Reserve offers clean facilities with private showers located throughout the grounds. During winter months, visitors should check whether outside water sources are operational, as many parks shut off exterior water during colder seasons.

      Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins

      Great camper cabins for spring and fall

      Each cabin has four sleeping spots: 2 bunk beds, and the 2 couches convert to beds. There's a heater inside, but no AC, which makes these the most suitable during the spring and fall.

      There is a fire ring outside of each cabin, along with a table. No cooking is allowed inside the cabins, which can make things rough if the weather isn't cooperating. 

      We enjoy hiking around the trails, but we primarily go to decompress, lounge around, and play games, read, etc. There's WiFi available, but depending on which cabin you reserve signal will be took weak for real usage. Same for mobile data -- don't plan on cell service here.

      The bathroom facilities are nice. Outside water is shut off during some parts of the year, so bring your own drinking water if you are camping close to/during winter.

      Cabins are accessible for those who need special assistance, which is nice. The only caveat is I don't recall there being an automatic door opener to the cabins.

      While the cabins are close together, noise is not a factor once you're inside. 

      It's difficult to get reservations, so I recommend trying to start booking 120 days in advance, which is the farthest out you can reserve. For example, as of this review (early June), all weekends are booked for all cabins.

      William O'Brien State Park Campground

      Camper Cabin

      We camped at William O’Brien State Park November 1-4, 2022. We were taking advantage of some unseasonably warm days, and we are so glad we did. This park is beautiful! The trails are well kept and cover woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands. There is a huge beaver lodge that can be seen from one of the trails, and we saw a smaller one from a different trail. We saw an abundance birds while we were there.

      We stayed in a camper cabin (‘Vasa’) and enjoyed it. The cabins are one room plus an enclosed porch. Furnishings are bunk beds and a table with benches. The cabin was heated and had electricity. You cannot cook indoors. There is a fire pit and picnic table outside. There are three cabins on a little cul de sac by the Savanna campground. There are two vault toilets near the cabins. The water source was off for the season, but water was available at the park office.

      Great Cold Weather Option

      Super simple camping cabins. They each have 4 spots and have contactless entry as you get sent a code to use. There is no cooking inside the cabin so you have to use the fire ring outside. Shower facilities are really nice and match the cabins. Plan ahead as these are hard to come by.

      Beautiful, spacious, trees but open. Nice trails, clean restrooms, level sites. No alcohol allowed and no pets! Fire rings, sturdy picnic table. Electric and water.

      I made reservations online and when we arrived they said I had reserved a place at Elmo Lake which was 20 miles away. Same 2 county facilities but different campgrounds. Oops my bad. Different addresses!

      Ham Lake Resort

      Well Rounded RV Park and Campground

      My partner and I scheduled a 3 day / 2 night stay in a new Vintage Cruiser RV for $39.99, in exchange for attending a presentation on private membership.

      We checked in Wednesday evening, and the nicest staff I've ever met helped us acclimate to RV living. We are new to this game. They patiently described how to utilize the grey and black water tanks, as well as encouraged us to check-out the canoes, row boats, bikes, horseshoes, ladder golf and many other entertainment items - for FREE!

      The map provided was accurate which made locating the cruiser a breeze. There were further instructions inside as well. The RV was immaculate. Provided for our use were all linens (a public very clean bath and shower was just across the road), dish soap, dish towels, paper towels, flat wear, plates, bowls, mugs and pans.

      The campground has a couple of ponds, as well as access to Ham Lake where the watercraft is launched. There is a petting arena with goats, ponies, and a llama who gave my partner the stink eye, but fell in love with me rubbing the fence and giving me all googly eyes!

      The clubhouse sells bundled wood, ice, snacks, cold drinks, ice cream and provides 24-hour fresh coffee. There is also a small resupply area, and gift shop.

      There are pull-through sites, back ups, 50 and 30 amp hook ups, and tent sites, covered pavilions, picnic tables and fire pits.

      The campground itself seems remote, secluded and peaceful, however, you are conveniently located to two well-stocked convenience stores, as well as Wal-Mart about 15 minutes away. It's also only about 45 minutes from the Minnesota Twin Cities.

      One note: We visited in August and needed gallons of bug spray.

      We very much enjoyed our get away!

      Baker Campground - Baker Park Reserve

      Great First Time w/Travel Trailer

      Clean gravel sites with electric hook up surrounded by well maintained grass, picnic table, and fire pit. Central water spigot and dump station. Great signage throughout. Showers and restrooms available. A couple disc golf baskets, sand volleyball court and well maintained grass fields were available for play. Lake independence is a 5-10 minute walk along a newly paved trail. Lake offers two swimming beaches, a water equipment rental area, new restroom facilities, and a playground that was under construction at this time. Simple online reservation process at $26/night our one night total cost $36.03 all fees included. Morning of our reservation, camp staff called to communicate a change of site due to our reserved site having issues with its electrical. All amenities functioned appropriately. My wife, two young boys, and I had a great first time experience with our Bambi 19CB Airstream!

      Afton State Park Campground

      Hiking and Yurting

      I have stayed multiple times in the hike in camp sites and also in the yurt! The hike in sites were beautiful with a view looking over the St. Croix River. It was a shaded site perfect for our hammocks, it was quiet and very secluded. The Yurt was very cool! Very comfortable beds and plenty of space for the 6 of us to stay and sleep. The fire pit and picnic table wasn't far from the yurt which made it nice to not have to walk too far since we camped in the winter. I highly suggest the expeeience of the yurt!

    Guide to Farmington

    Cabin rental options extend beyond the immediate Farmington area, with several unique accommodations within a 30-minute drive. The region sits along the Cannon River valley, with elevations ranging from 750 to 950 feet above sea level. Winter temperatures often drop below 0°F, making heated cabins particularly valuable from November through March.

    What to do

    Waterfront activities: At Afton State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy beach access with swimming areas. "Less than an hour drive from Minneapolis this is a good get away. As expected it has many walk trails. Highlight of this location is beach which is nice for swim and sun bath. But beach isn't motor vehicle accessible so expect 5-10 min walk," notes one visitor.

    Trail exploration: The paved Cannon Valley Trail provides 20 miles of scenic riding. Haycreek Valley Campground connects directly to bike trails. "We really enjoyed the bike trail that was so close, paved and had lots of tree cover to keep us cool. Very nice ride to Red Wing right from our site!"

    Year-round cabins: Winter cabin experiences provide unique opportunities for quiet getaways. "The cabins in the woods are great in winter with snow on the pine trees. I would probably prefer the prairie cabins in the summer, especially with mosquitoes," explains a visitor to Whitetail Woods.

    What campers like

    Accessibility features: William O'Brien State Park Campground offers accessible cabins with special accommodations. "This campground is lovely. You can hear frogs all night and we even saw a turtle laying eggs in a different campsite," reports a camper at the park's Savanna Campground area.

    Bathroom facilities: Clean showers remain a highlight at most locations. "The shower house needed a cleaning as well. There is no adjusting the shower temperature. Push the button and you get what you get," notes one visitor about William O'Brien, indicating variable conditions based on timing.

    Privacy levels: Baker Campground offers larger sites with moderate privacy. "This campground is a gem so very close to the Twin Cities. The sites are good sized, and the bathroom/showers are great. With great fishing, playground, swimming, and biking trails very nearby, the kids were kept as busy as they wanted to be."

    What you should know

    Winter water considerations: Many parks shut off exterior water during cold months. "Outside water is shut off during some parts of the year, so bring your own drinking water if you are camping close to/during winter," warns a Whitetail Woods visitor.

    Cabin reservation timing: St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park cabins require advanced planning. "This park is truly beautiful. Beach is great. Easy boat launch. Clean facility. The staff is super nice. Great hiking trails, bike trails, nearby horseback riding."

    Wildlife encounters: Be prepared for nighttime visitors. "We got visited by raccoons both nights so be sure to clean and put away food AND garbage before calling it a night," advises a camper from St. Croix Bluffs.

    Tips for camping with families

    Park activities: Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park offers family-friendly amenities. "Nature is always beautiful! We love to camp here as it's so close to home. Decent amenities, however NOT the feel of a State Park. Think suburbia meets nature."

    Day trip options: Campgrounds near Farmington provide easy access to regional attractions. "Wonderful site! Feels very secluded in spite of being so close to the cities. Great beach & sunrise. Highly recommend!" reports a visitor to Rice Creek.

    Off-season planning: Family cabin trips during school breaks can offer unique experiences. "Super simple camping cabins. They each have 4 spots and have contactless entry as you get sent a code to use. There is no cooking inside the cabin so you have to use the fire ring outside."

    Tips from RVers

    Site layouts: Campsites vary significantly in size and layout. "Our site was rather odd as the electric and water post was on the opposite side of our camper. Our standard water hose and electrical cord wouldn't reach so we ended up backing up the hill to get next to the water and filled our tank for the weekend."

    Seasonal access: Some lodging options near Farmington close seasonally. "Campgrounds are grouped, we'll maintained, and always have firewood(etc) stocked for their guests," notes a camper at Baker Park, which operates from April 30 to October 20.

    Dump station availability: Not all parks offering cabin accommodations provide full RV hookups. "The Dyrt is wrong. There are no sewer hookups at this campground. They have a dump station and will pump for a fee," clarifies a visitor at Haycreek Valley Campground.
