Ellinghuysen Park (May - October)

Near Great River Bluffs State Park in Minnesota, we are located 15 minutes northwest of LaCrosse, WI and 15 minutes south of Winona, MN. This is a 29’ camper at our home, which we affectionately call Ellinghuysen Park. Our 2 acre property is a picturesque setting with a variety of trees, perennial flowers, spring lilacs, and a summer garden. It is a birder’s paradise. A spring-fed creek runs the length of the property and empties into the Mississippi. There is a firepit in the backyard and numerous yard games available for use with permission. The property is 4 miles from the state park with incredible views of the Mississippi from on top of the bluffs; it’s a great place to hike and picnic!

The camper is hooked up to water, electric, and sewer. The property is located near a 4 lane highway and a county road. There is occasional noise from the highway. It is located across from a railroad track, and trains sound their horns at the intersection.

Sleeping accommodations are as follows:
1 King-size bed
2 Single-size bunks

The kitchen contains:
Propane stove & oven
Refrigerator & Freezer
Microwave

There is booth-style dining and a couch in the camper, along with a TV, DVD player, and radio. The RV bathroom has shower, sink, and toilet.

Bedding will be provided. We recommend you bring your own towels, but they can be borrowed, if needed. Some basic kitchen items for preparing or serving meals are in the camper. Cookware/bakeware is not, but these items can be borrowed, if needed. Disposable plates, bowls, cups, plasticware and napkins are stocked in the pantry. Toilet paper, paper toweling, and tissues are provided.

We have books, puzzles, card games, and board games available to borrow.
