Land Castle Frequently Asked Questions
Updated: August 29, 2025
Our organizers have worked tirelessly on planning this event and we know it’s going to be a one-of-a-kind occasion. Take a look at this section to find out some answers to the questions we get asked every year.
We want you to have the best time at our event, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or special requests.
Pets / Dogs
Land Castle 2025 - Hutchinson, MN
Dogs will not be allowed inside any of the buildings, or the main event area due to folks not following the rules at the Winsted location (many dogs were being brought through the vendor area).
​
With the expected increase of people, there is far too much that can go wrong and it exposes our event to liability that isn't worth gambling on.
​​
Properly vested/marked service dogs are exempt. Emotional support animals are not recognized by ADA.
Please leave your dog at the fish house when you come to the event area. There is plenty of room to walk them in the campground.
​
Free walking a dog on the grounds without a leash is not allowed, there is a leash ordinance in the City of Hutchinson, and our event is held on county property.
​
Understand that there are a lot of people, new noises, and new smells. We want to prevent any accidents, including bites, while still allowing families to bring their pups.
​
Do not allow your dog to sit outside unattended while barking non-stop. It disrupts your neighbors and their ability to enjoy a relaxing, fun filled weekend.
​
Make sure your dog is picked up after and is not peeing on other people's stuff.
​
The Land Castle Summer Extravaganza, its organizers, insurance companies, property owners/staff are not liable for any incidents that may occur up to and including bites involving humans and other dogs.
​
If we receive repeated complaints you will be asked to leave. We enjoy being flexible to bring these members of the family - as long as these rules are followed, all can enjoy their weekend!
​
Any dog attacks / incidents will be handled by event organizers, Hutchinson Police, and the McLeod County Sheriff's Office on an as needed basis.
Water, Power, Sewer, Trash
Land Castle's campground area is set up in the southwest parking area of the McLeod County Fairgrounds - in the middle of a wide open grass field. We do not have options for water, power, or sewer for your camper. If you need your tank emptied while at Land Castle, Mini-Biff of Hutchinson will be who you need to contact.
We do have portable toilets on the grounds for you to use as well as dumpsters provided for trash.
​
There are also going to be public bathrooms and showers on the event grounds.
Campfires
Land Castle 2025 - Hutchinson, MN
Campfires will be allowed at Land Castle 2025 in off-ground, "above ground" fire pits only.
​
No fires allowed on the grass. You will be asked to leave if a hole is discovered or if you have a fire directly on the grass.
