What makes this woodland special is it's quiet, secluded setting and over 6 miles of hiking / skiing trails\. Our farmstead sits three quarter of a mile off the paved county highway on our well maintained gravel driveway\. Each of our campsites are secluded from the others with their own sawdust compost toilets, picnic tables, fireplaces, and firewood\. Two of our sites require 4WD with a minimum of 6 inches ground clearance to access, and two are accessible with 2WD\. If you do not have 4WD we can help transport your gear while you enjoy the walk in\. There are plenty of woodland birds, deer, turkeys, raccoons and squirrels sharing the woods with you\. At night it is common for owls to visit the campsite area to say hello, and coyotes talking in the distance\. The winding trails through 100 acres of woodland offer a variety of woodland habitats, from Old growth Maple to mixed hardwood, to dense brush, to the edges of open pastureland\. Bring your fat bike or mountain bike for an enjoyable ride\. For winter users there is a mix of easy, moderate, and challenging winter cross country skiing or snowshoeing / hiking on the property\. However the Rock Bottom Cabin is our only heated and insulated site and is available for winter booking\. Winter access is walk in only with snow on the ground or in the forecast\. We can help transport gear\. This property is part of a working pasture\-based dairy farm and guided tours of the dairy and cattle are available when scheduling allows\. Children 12 and younger are free at our campsites\. No need to be counted as guests , but please let us know when requesting to book\. We do not allow non\-booked visitors to our campsites due to the secluded, remote location, and accessibility\. ## Key facts - Coordinates: 43.9233, -91.5647 ## Address Houston, MN, US ## Amenities - Biking - Cabin - Cross\_country\_skiing - Drinking\_water - Electric\_hookup - Farm - Fire\_pit - Fires - Firewood - Forest - Hiking - Hill - Horseback Riding - Horseback\_riding - Hot\_tub - Mountain - Mountain\_biking - Picnic Table - Picnic\_table - Playground - Potable Water - River - Rv - Rv Hookup - Rv\_camping - Skiing - Snowshoeing - Swimming - Tent - Tent\_camping - Toilets - Trash - Trash\_disposal - Walk In - Walk\_in - Wildlife Watching - Wildlife\_viewing ## Structured data (schema.org) Also available as raw JSON: http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/gilles-family-dairy-woodland-houston-mn-us.json ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Campground", "@id": "http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/gilles-family-dairy-woodland-houston-mn-us", "name": "Gilles Family Dairy & Woodland", "description": "Welcome ; Located in southeast Minnesota's Driftless region of hills, valleys, fields and forests, we are a grass based working dairy farm with over 100 acres of woodland, including an extensive trail system and campsites in our wooded acres.

There are riddles and things to look out for to solve while hiking which was fun for kids and adults alike. The hilltop queen made for luxurious sleep, much easier for the kids to enjoy their time and organize activities. The solar lighting made it easier to enjoy evenings even later. The outhouse is a total winner, way better than the hole in the ground you usually get + it's got lights for late night visits. Trash cans, firewood and water provided to drink and clean, it really doesn't get much easier to camp. If you have some of your family that struggles to make it more than a day camping, the hill top queen will be a game changer for them. Mike and Joan where a pleasure and very available if anything came up. We were not sure what we would be in for camping here, but definitely glad we made the choice and you will be too. We are looking to make this a yearly event." }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Clarissa T." }, "datePublished": "August 17, 2024", "reviewBody": "This was the best site of our road trip!!! We had been rained out the previous nights and found this site and it was more than we could have asked for. The host is very nice and accommodating! the space was clean and so fun to hang around in. We went for a hike around the property and it was beautiful, this place is more than just a place to stay you can easily spend a whole day here! Literally the best outhouse I have aver been in :) " }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rama H." }, "datePublished": "August 18, 2024", "reviewBody": "The care and connection that Mike and Joan have to this land is apparent. It’s so generous of them to share these beautiful woods and land. We had a sweet overnight at Rock Bottom Cabin. 2 adults and 2 kids. We were grateful for the tractor trailer ride down to the cabin. We saw so many lightning bugs which are a good indicator of a healthy ecosystem! Super quiet all night. It was pretty warm in the cabin, but having all the vents open helped some with that. Mike and Joan have worked out so many details! Everything was super clean and fresh. There was a well stocked wood shed, drinking and washing water. In the morning we went on a beautiful hike on the well maintained and labeled trails. We definitely hope to visit again soon and would love to stay longer! The cows at their grass based dairy look so beautiful and healthy! Thanks Mike and Joan for being such great stewards of the land and hosts!

It was close to I90 making it a perfect stop on our road trip but zero road noise. I wish we would have had more time to explore the trails will definitely be back." } ] } ``` [robots.txt](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/robots.txt) · [llms.txt](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/llms.txt) · [sitemap](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/sitemap_index.xml)
