East Woods on the IL River

We purchased the property in 1987, cut in the road and brought power to the property. The city of Ottawa recently annexed the property into the Ottawa city limits. It's like owning our own wild park.

Linden Camprground
8 sites · Lodging, Tents12 acres · ILWe bought the farmette with much work outside and home interior remodel to complete. We slowly turned the property into our family oasis. We neighbor a pasture with cows. There are free range chickens running around during the day. Geese greet us every evening and morning at the pond...as do the many bullfrogs. Occasionally you'll hear the coyotes, but then keep their distance. The stars shine peacefully and the sunsets are picturesque (most afternoons). The pond is a great place to swim and fish. The hillside is a nice walk for exercise or take the easier route and sit under the great oak tree in the other pasture. Campsites are off the road, behind our main home. You won't find a sign...we keep it simple.
