Stargazing area with reclining chairs (requires a hike).



Cell service: AT&T typically works well, Verizon works intermittently, and T-mobile doesn't have a good signal.

Host accessibility: Available 24/7/365 via phone and email/messaging, frequently on site.



Security: Campground community areas are under video surveillance.



Setting: Aefintyr campground is located in the hilly, wooded, blufflands of the Whitewater River Valley just north of the tiny town of Elba, MN. Views are primarily of the woods and valleys. The campground is off of a 2 lane county highway so there is some intermittent road noise. Cabins are located in the same area so you may have neighbors.



Aefintyr is a peaceful place with chill vibes and we like to keep it that way! It is not a place for parties or rowdy groups. We like to listen to nature, not loud music or rowdy people blabbering into the night. Please see our rules/polices to know what to expect.

About the host

Hosted by Chelsi Low

Host profile image
After years of experiencing the benefits and joys of spending time in nature, I was inspired to find a way to share this with others. I enjoy helping people relax, and hosting at Aefinytr campground has allowed me to combine my love of the outdoors with my passion for hospitality.

Why they chose this property

Whitewater River Valley is located in Driftless Region of southeastern Minnesota and is known for its rugged hiking trails, scenic bluffland, and excellent trout fishing in the spring-fed Whitewater River and Trout Run Creek. I love the beauty of the wooded hills of the valley, observing all the flora and fauna of the hardwood forest, kayaking, tubing and fishing on the river and the noticeable lack of mosquitos! This is a place I go to rest and revitalize my soul.

What makes this property unique

Aefintyr Campground was inspired by a love of wilderness adventures, nature and hospitality. The small campground is nestled into the hillside of the valley and offers an atmosphere that is rugged and adventurous, yet at the same time quiet and revitalizing. It is a place where nature is celebrated as the best amenity! Although our campground is very modern, you will not find pavement, packed in rows of RVs, manicured lawns or crowds here : ) We have a beautiful 14 acres of woods and lots of wildlife and space to unplug and slow down.
