This is a very private location. In its former life this property was a limestone quarry. Evidence of it's history remain with high rock walls on both ends of the property. In the center of the property is about 5 acres that is flat and covered with wildflowers and small trees. There are several good options for camping in this area. Surrounding this area is another 15 acres of hills and trees great for hiking and enjoying the beautiful view of the Mississippi River below. There is a boat ramp just a mile down the hill for boating or fishing on the Mississippi and the city of La Crosse, WI and La Crescent, MN are each only about a five minute drive. Great River Bluffs State Park and countless other recreational opportunities are just minutes away.This is a very private location.  In its former life this property was a limestone quarry.  Evidence of it's history remain with high rock walls on both ends of the property.

Great time camping! The Corner cove campsite was private, well maintained and the view of the sunrise at the top of the bluff is breathtaking. Highly recommend Erica’s property, very communicative.

Quiet, private, with a designated flat surface to set the tent. There was an opening through the foliage to view the Mississippi river just be careful of the poison ivy. Host was very easily reachable and helped me navigate to the site . Porta potty was clean.

Quarry camping
Very unique place to camp, always appreciated the aesthetics of a quarry never had the pleasure of actually camping at one until now. Not your usual park set up which I very much enjoyed. They had a firewood stack and even a mini fridge with water available!! As someone who camps out of their jeep and spends a lot of time doing so would I highly recommend.

Simply Amazing
Simply amazing, everything was exactly as described. We stayed in the corner cove. It is a nice little out of the way private camp site that is quiet and relaxing. Erica is a great host and keeps a clean camp site. The views from the top are amazing. We would give 11 stars if possible. We are planning a return trip for the future!
