Rustic and Remote Hike-in Glamping Bell Tent close to Whitewater State Park, Minnesota
Bell tent in Elba, MN
3 guests • 4 beds
Adventure into the beautiful driftless bluffs in this campground for a backpacking-like experience.
The perfect blend of rugged, remote, convenience and comfort for a revitalizing getaway (1460ft hike, 230ft elev gain). Enjoy the hike up to your spacious, private woodland campsite and it will be ready for you! Private firepit, table with 4 chairs, firewood, linens (sheets, fleece blankets, and towels), sleeping bags, pillows, lantern, and firewood included. Designed for active people looking for an authentic hike-in camping experience with creature comforts provided.
IMPORTANT - The hike to the campsite is uphill along the bluff and requires some physical effort. We recommend packing light and using backpacks to transport your personal items. Carts and other wheeled items usually do not work with the gravel and rocks on the path. Please consider your health, physical abilities, and your willingness to pack light when you decide to book! Your host is happy to answer any questions and help with planning your trip.
If you have any special requests for additional services or amenities, please ask us!
