Janet and Steve are AMAZING owners!!! We were in Texas and, very last minute, got assigned to work near Minneapolis. They were the only park that had a month long stay available. I was concerned about it being a smaller park as we have a BIG 5th wheel (Luxe 48fb), but Janet and her husband Steve assured me we would fit. Well, 3 days later, we got there... and they were ready for us! Made sure everything was out of the way (we make pretty wide turns) and got us to our spot without a hitch!! Mind you, they did not HAVE to do any of this!! They went above, and BEYOND, to help us out!The park is beautiful, and very peaceful!! There is a small (but very nice) walking trail, nice swimming pool, rec room, laundry facilities, restrooms, disc golf, different style bikes you can rent, and the office has a lot of cool trinkets/souvenirs!!Oh, and shopping (grocery and what-not) and restaurants are close by.If you're coming to this area, I HIGHLY recommend Camp Faribo!Oh, and if you're lucky, you'll get to meet our [new] friend Bob! :)

Would have been a great stay, but I didn't like some of the service. When we called to book our stay, we told them we were about an hour away. We got there, and they wanted to charge us an extra $20 due to check-in was at 1 pm. Would have been nice to inform us that per our phone conversation vs arrival. Also wanted to charge us again when trying to leave as we had some issues with our rv not starting. I even nicely went to the office to inform them of this, and nothing was said other than hope you can get it going. When we did get it going, it was only maybe 15 minutes later for check out time and we again stopped again to let them know we got it going that's when they wanted to charge us again. Both times were with females, thank you to the male that drove us to the site he was amazing and very helpful and kind, and I believe he is 1 of the owners.

Owners are banning us from coming back because daughter rated this campground a 1 but I now have to agree with this rating. Sister and I requested a site together and they had us about a mile apart. And last year when we stayed they wouldn't allow us campers to face each other, said was illegal but all other campgrounds let us face each other to camp together. Also annoying when they have a guy on a go cart checking on everyone every minute. Not a fun place. Wouldn't want to go back.

Janet and Steve are amazing campground owners, who take pride in their campground and it shows! Bathroom/shower rooms were remodeled a few years ago and are always well kept and clean. Playground was also updated a few years ago, and our kids love it! The pool is a huge plus, great for all ages! The grounds are always well kept and clean, and the lot sizes are much larger than a lot of other campgrounds I've gone to around the area. The office is adorable with lots of items to purchase (snacks, clothing, home goods, etc) Campground is close to town, but for enough away at the same time. We will definitely be coming back every year!

Absolutely loved staying here. Owners and Camp Hosts were all so sweet and nice. Pool was nicely heated. Clean campground Owners and Camp Hosts were going around golf carts helping us park our camper. Asking if we need anything. Bathrooms clean. They did close them at 8:00 I used them a couple times when we were at the band or playing bingo. Which they were open until after the activities. But we really didn't need them because we had our camper.Loved the activities they planned every day. Kept us busy. Kept us on our toes. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody and everybody. We are definitely going to be going back over and over. I cannot wait till next year!!!Thank you all for making us feel welcome and great memories!!!!!Till next year!!

As many others have said, I felt like I was in jail and being watched by the warden on his golf cart. I was told very sternly to stay off the grass, but sitting at my camper I could see 4 cars parked on the grass. I was also told no rugs larger than 2 x3 because they were trying to save the grass, but when you walk around the park there s tents out in front of campers, there campers with wood decks and huge rugs in the grass .. but I can t have one.The worst part was the distance between the shared water hookup and the sewer hookup was the largest I ve ever seen at a campground. If you stay here you ll need 25 of water hose and 25 of sewer hose. I could only hook up to water for the night as I couldn t reach the sewer at the same time (15 hose)Looking at other campers, they had 3 10 hoses hooked together to make the span to the sewer.The pool was nice. But it is absolutely not heated at all. It was 85 degrees when we stopped and couldn t stay in pool for more than 15 min.I do not recommend this place.

Not a bad place. Smaller then the map let's on. Pool is nice. Never have I been to a place that shuts their pool, laundry and bathrooms down at 8pm. Had multiple family members visit during our month stay. Not one impressed by this place. Never been to a camp ground that does not allow screen tents. We will never go back.

We have been going to Camp Faribo for years as a large group. They are AMAZING to work with, polite and truthfully helpful with any issues that might come up. I would highly recommend camp Faribo for a place to go and relax!Nearby activities: Shopping within a mile.

Love this campground! Everyone is so nice here! We were just there this past weekend and hope to go at least 1 or 2 more times this year. Everyone is so helpful! We have a small camper and this was the first time we used it and my husband had a few questions about something and the employees were more than willing to help answer questions! Keep up the awesome work, Camp Faribo! We'll definitely be back!

We were very happy about finding this campground in our travels on a Sunday. We stopped for the night and didn't use many of the extra features, but we did like how the grounds were set up. We especially liked that the owners staggered the campers. We had 2-3 lots open around us, same as the other campers. They were great about giving everyone the most space they could. It makes for more private camping. It also was wonderful to just pull into a spot and leave the vehicle attached. No need to back into a space and move the truck.I am not sure how we would have like it had it been full, but with mostly it being half empty (time of week) we were very pleased with what we had.

Was quiet not alot of traffic but the leash rule was not followed. Had to clean our area up from dogs relieving themselves in our camp area. Cats jumping up on our Pickwick table. Going back? Probably not

Small camp, mostly seasonal and permanent campers. They escort you to your site which is gravel grass. Plenty long for our 40 ft 5ther, parked across front, no problem. Appears to have two 50 amp sites available and several 30 amp. Nice for children has a barn for games and a pool. We have stayed here before as an overnight when traveling, will stay again..

We went to this campground for our daughter's tournament and we were completely disappointed by everything!The biggest problem we had was the water. We hooked it up to their hose and it smelled like sewage. Since we weren't there much the first day I called to complain as we were leaving for a game. I was told it would be taken care of by the time we got back. We got back and they hadn't done anything. The owner met us there and didn't believe us about the smell. He kept saying everyone is hooked up out of the same pump. He even drank it out of the hose to "prove" it was safe. We kept telling him it was disgusting smelling and he tried to tell us it was fine. I practically forced him to hook us up some other way.Later the lady walked around to get us to pay our bill (never seen that) we told her we paid when we came. She didn't believe us until my husband pulled out the receipt. When we asked for some sort of discount for the rancid water she kept insinuating that it wasnt their fault, and then proceeded to tell me they were doing me a favor by not charging me an extra $5 for having 5 people. When I got mad and said it was crazy she was trying to charge me for an infant she back tracked and said they would talk about it and get back to us. Surprise, surprise we never heard from them again.Not only that but they drive around on their stupid golf carts and watch your every move and make you feel like you're criminals.They turned our very exciting weekend into an extremely stressful one.

Camp sites were nice. The pool was wonderful as was the game room. We did not have a very good experience due to the female owner and her customer service skills. Not very young adult friendly, made accusations and assumptions but never asked questions to verify. We were just considered liars (seen other reviews saying the same experience). When you are camping there your young adults are not allowed to come and go; even if it was just for work. There is a charge for guests, which is fine but they tried to charge our registered guests too. Hence did not ask questions only made accusations.

Decent little campground. Not much of a gravel pad for my trailer or a patio in my site compared to others. Also i beileve my picnic table frame was made of aluminum conduit( not sturdy at all.) Water is very harsh even with water filter. Pool is no longer salt water treated which i found very nice! Managment was pretty nice as well. Other then the very minor things listed we enjoyed our stay and will be coming back.

I stayed here for 4 months from July to October while working. The campground is a nice place! They had a themed party almost every weekend so the staff could get to know the campers which was nice, no other campground that ive stayed at did this. The laundry room could have been air condidtioned. The camp sites were spacious. They had shared water spouts so you didn't get the best pressure in the camper. The spaces were mostly grass so bring somthing to park your tires on. The staff does an amazing job keeping up with the grass. There wasn't alot of places to walk your dog, there was a designated place in the back of the park for that.

We stayed her for the month of October. The staff are great. At that time of year it can get chilly but we were mostly going to the cities for appointments. They let us stay a few extra days while we were waiting to find a place to stay for the winter. Really appreciated the owner!

WE STAYED HERE RECENTLY AND WILL NEVER RETURN!Initially we were happy to find the campground in the area we wanted to stay in that wasn't booked full or too expensive. The employee on the phone was very nice (that is what our 1 star is for this post).This is where the positive review ends: We check in and are quoted a higher price per night than what was quoted on the phone. When I questioned it further, the check-in employee kept pointing to the rate board behind her. We don't encounter this situation often, but it really angers me when we do. We also didn't get a good feel about the place - so many employees in the office at the time (I counted 6) gossiping about others in a small campground like this feels unwelcoming.All I ever ask for is a little shade in the warmer temps. We were told no, they are full. So, we tow to our site in the sun and it turns out this is a small, cramped campground. There is little room between RVs, but some locations are like this so you suck it up. I guess campground owners/managers also forget that their campers will be driving, walking and/or biking around the sites and can see that all sites are not full. We stayed one long weekend and there were many 'shaded' sites (especially on the perimeter and north side) that remained either empty our entire stay or had trailers, trucks and boats parked in them for storage. And we couldn't have a little bit of shade??BUT THE CLINCHER came on our last night. We arrive back to the resort at 8:00. The office had just closed & I recalled the laundry room also closes at 8 (I really love the ones that stay open late or 24 hours, much more convenient when most parks have only @2 washers/dryers and they're full half the time). But I checked the room and it was unlocked. I check again at 8:30 and it's still unlocked so I assume being the summer months they must be open later or all night. I return with my laundry at 8:50 (still unlocked). I leave my bright orange wagon in front of the machine in case employees check on the room.I check on laundry at 9:30, washer still going, but I see an employee in the distance despite it being almost dark. I return and tell my husband, "Watch the laundry room be locked when I return and I'll have to dry in the morning. Just wait and see." And son of a gun I hate being right. I return at 9:50 to find the lights off and door locked! I had to wait till opening time in the morning to dry my clothes so forget wanting to pull out early for a long day of towing!They could've spoken to me. They could've left a note on the door for me to call them when I was done. They could've left it open since it was still unlocked at 9:30 pm. But no, they were jerks to their paying campers. I surmise they also forget that full-time RVers such as us (who travel 8 months per year in an RV) have social media at our fingertips and plenty of fellow RVers to tell the tale.....
