Between Preston and Lanesboro, this 200-acre tiered valley of RVs, campers and a smattering of tents becomes both a seasonal and weekend getaway for all ages with a golf course, smoked ribs and brisket in the Old Barn Restaurant, a pool and onsite canoe and tube rentals for a float into town. The resort also rents bikes for the Root River Trail, which crosses the resort and stretches for 60 miles. 24461 Heron Rd., Preston; 1-507-467-2512; barnresort.com
