Start your morning with a perfect view of the sunrise (site 2), or a more shaded, sleep-in a bit (site 1) along with your favorite morning beverage. Take a walk on our country road or into town, approximately a mile and a half to restaurants, visitors center at the Jolly Green Giant Statue, hardware stores, Shell gas station & food mart or access to miles of paved trails around the town. Explore and have fun locating the dozens of "Little Sprouts" (baby Green Giants) around town. Very easy entrance and exit to Blue Earth, site is located at the intersection of Interstate 90 & HWY 169.
The site was easy to find, easy to navigate, private and close to the freeway. Chelsey greeted us upon arrival and was very kind and thoughtful. I camped in my teardrop trailer with my aunt and dog. We had a lovely evening walking the dog on the property and reading near the pond. We were on a cross country road trip and planned for one night stays using the road trip feature on HipCamp. I recommend this site.
Chelsey has a beautiful farm and is a great host. It was a great place for a quick overnight stop. My spot was right in front of the house so I think I personally would feel a little awkward staying too long. Being a dirty camper sitting there as the farm went to work and the family went about their day to day routine. For the evening I was there it was perfect, quick off the road/interstate and easy to find.
Chelsey's home and farm is what I would describe as an all American farmhouse. When you enter through the driveway it's jaw dropping beautiful. Chelsey and her family were very welcoming and made me feel at home. The view was just perfect, especially in the morning and evenings. I will definitely swing through and come visit again. Make sure to go into town and tour. It's a beautiful little town.
Christine's spot was perfect for its proximity to the highway, level ground, and beautiful views out my left window (if backed in) of the corn fields, sky and a nearly full moon last night. She was VERY responsive and the ability to plug in was wonderful.
My single "negative" experience was that after it became dark and I was settled in, suddenly their dogs - one with a very deep, loud voice - were next to my van barking and it startled me. The gentleman of the house called them away after a few moments.
All in all a great stopover and would still recommend it to others.
Thank you, Christine, and I'm sorry we didn't get to meet in person this morning before I left! Take care, Dana
Chelsey's farm was chill. The sites are both basically on her front lawn and the bathroom is in the house, so that's worth knowing, but not a problem as long as you're comfortable with the proximity socially. She offered me a cup of coffee in the morning and sold us some fresh eggs.
