Site 2 - The Country School,Avon,MN

Great site

Very private and well maintained site. Great site for either a small tent or a hammock. The chipmunks kept my dog amused the entire day and the owners had a nice pallet made table and chairs there that gave it a good ambiance. Definitely pay attention to the instructions the owners give on finding it. It’s not at all hard but the details they gave were good and clear once you see the location.
