My family stayed at Camp Faribo all summer, as we travel with my husband’s job. It’s in a great spot outside of town, but still very close for grocery runs, etc. The staff were great. Very accommodating and welcoming. They work hard to keep the campground and pool looking very nice. We highly recommended it!

I love Camp Faribo! It’s charming, staff so friendly and accommodating and welcoming made us feel like family soon as we arrived! So comfortable and clean! It’s tucked away in a beautiful wooded area, it felt like a real camping experience in the woods but with the comforts of immaculate bathrooms, a beautiful pool, kid friendly and friendly staff and neighbors! On top of all of that It’s only an hour’s drive from the Twin Cities where we live. Thank you to all of the awesome folks who run and maintain Camp Faribo we loved our experience so much we are making it our annual summer destination from now on!

Cleanest Campground Ever – With the Kindest Staff! By far the cleanest campground I’ve ever seen—laundry and bathrooms were spotless! Friendly campers, welcoming touches all over, awesome swimming pool, and a great rec hall with a pool table. Shout out to Carly who went above and beyond to track down a backpack I left behind and even made sure I could pick it up that night! This place is a true gem!

Camp Faribo is a very nice campground that we stayed at for one night while passing through. The pool was a great perk for our kids. There is laundry, board games, and an activity area with ping pong and other fun things. The restrooms were meticulously clean and showers were available. The sites were a bit cramped and there wasn’t a lot of grass, but tall shade trees covered the whole campground. The service was excellent and it is just outside of town. This was a great stop for the night.

We just spent my wife’s birthday weekend at Camp Fairbo and once again, had a great time! The owners do a great job of maintaining high standards so everyone has a great experience! Steve, Janet, Carleen and Larry all provide service with a smile! Larry took us to our site and helped us get perfectly situated. We noticed they take everyone to their site and assist with getting parked in the right spot. When you buy wood bundles they deliver them to your site. Saturday was a heat advisory day and Janet came around to everyone at the pool and gave ice cold bottles of water to ensure people were staying hydrated. Everyone goes above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoys their getaway. Excited to go back again!
