Aefintyr was founded in 2019 by Chelsi Low. After years of experiencing the benefits and joys of spending time in nature, Chelsi was inspired to find a way to share this with others - Aefintyr was born! Mission: to provide camping and recreation experiences that inspire, revitalize and connect people with nature. Vision: To be a leader in innovation of camping and recreation experience and fostering respect and appreciation for our natural environment. Core Values: Nature has an innate value to the human experience. Respect and care for our natural environment. Nature and camping are for everyone. Reduce waste and reuse.

Aefintyr campground is located in the scenic woods of the Whitewater River Valley in the Driftless Area of Southeastern Minnesota. We offer beautiful blufftop hike-in camping and glamping and cozy treehouse inspired camper cabins. The hike-in camp/glamp sites offer a backpacking like experience (1460 ft hike with a 230 ft elevation gain) and are great for people who like to get some exercise and want to immerse themselves in a woodland setting. Perfect relaxation destination or home base for your Whitewater Valley adventures. Aefintyr is a small operation that values peace, quiet and quality over quantity. Get away from crowds and get into the woods! Onsite, enjoy a campfire, stargazing, hiking and observing the amazing animals, plants and fungi.

Within 2 miles of Whitewater State Park, the Elba Fire Tower, Whitewater State Wildlife Management Area (hunting, trout fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing) and the Whitewater River State Water Trail (canoe/kayak/tube). There is a gas station (bait and fishing supplies, convenience store items), 2 bars and a restaurant within a mile in the town of Elba. Whitewater Wines Winery is also just a few miles up the road!
