Camp on the river's edge with instant, 24\-hour access to fishing, tubing, or paddling\. Enjoy amazing sunsets while listening to a crackling fire \- on\-site wood available for a nominal fee \(please purchase in advance in Extras so we have enough prepared\)\. Ultimate privacy with no other campers and not a house to be seen up and down the river\. Our property lies on a quiet stretch of the Root River where you have private access for small hand\-carried craft, or you are 5 minutes from a boat launch for flat bottom boats / kayaks and canoes \(for longer trips from upriver or downriver\)\. Inquire with owner for rules of the river, estimated trip times and more\. Experience some amazing stargazing, while listening to the owls, coyotes or maybe you'll see or hear the Sandhill cranes nesting nearby\. Fish to your heart's content for all types of trout, bass, panfish and rough fish \- maybe the occasional walleye or sauger\! All right from the bank, from your boat or while floating down the river\. Soak up the sun while exploring the trails, creek and pond on the property, or cool off while floating down the Root River\. The Root's sandy bottom is family friendly, with a generally shallow and straight path with a good current, making for an easy paddle downstream between landings\. Please be cautious about dropoffs and tree snags \(the current is deceptively strong\!\) \- use river and stairs access at property at your own risk\. River does rise and flood occasionally with storm runoff\. This property is away from it all yet the convenience of being only 2\.5 miles from Houston, with access to the local coffee shop Baristas, the Root River Market and the International Owl Center, plus the Root River bike trail system\. The park with trail access also has a nice natural playground, Nature Center, picnic area and amphitheater with occasional music events\. In addition, a beautiful 18\-hole golf course, Valley High, is set in the bluffs of Southeast Minnesota\- just 5 minutes away\. ## Key facts - Check-in: 2:00pm - Check-out: 12:00am - Coordinates: 43.77131468243269, -91.5171000869203 ## Address Houston, MN, US ## Amenities - Biking - Boat\_ramp - Cabin - Cafe - Campervan\_camping - Creek - Drinking\_water - Fire\_pit - Fires - Firewood - Fishing - Forest - Garden - Hiking - Kitchen - Picnic Table - Picnic\_table - Playground - Potable Water - Prairie - Recycling - River - Riverside - Showers - Stargazing - Stream - Swimming - Tent - Tent\_camping - Toilets - Trash - Trash\_disposal - Tubing - Valley ## Structured data (schema.org) Also available as raw JSON: http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/root-river-hideaway-houston-mn.json ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Campground", "@id": "http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/root-river-hideaway-houston-mn", "name": "Root River Hideaway", "description": "Get away from it all and take in the fresh air and views at the Root River Hideaway.

It was beautiful with lots of flowers and open space! There are a pair of bald eagles living in the are that graced us with their presence throughout our stay! It was peaceful though you can still hear some cars driving by every now and again. There was not any direct access to the river as the stairs had not been installed for the season quite yet. But the views (sunrise/sunset) were beautiful! It was awesome that they provided ample firewood for a small fee. We were able to take advantage of some of the state parks nearby that had great hiking! Host was very kind!

It was private and a spacious place for the dogs to roam. You can hear the traffic from the road but that didn’t bother me. If you are looking for full remote, just keep that in mind because the site is just off the main road but still very private. We went to La Crosse to shop and ate at 4 Sisters, it was delicious. We had a bit of rain and bad weather but we’re able to enjoy the river when the sun came out! It’s safe to say our girls trip was a major success and so happy we chose Riverside!
