Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
We 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.

30th birthday! Girls camping trip.
I loved camping in the trailer! We had a group of 5 women and we all fit comfortably. Blankets and pillows were provided. The heat was extremely nice since it was so cold and rainy. Saw some ducks, cow, chickens and cats! They all kept their distance but it was nice to see. When we needed some extra toiletries the response was quick via the app. And someone came in an hour or so. I would definitely go back!

Looks Pretty. Fly Problem.
The site was pretty and the camper was well-stocked and clean. However, we stepped in animal feces the moment we got out of the car and it was tracked in. There was a massive fly infestation. Literally hundreds of flies were in our van, the camper, and around the fire. The camper loo got clogged and the site bathroom had feces spewed all over the toilet. The swimming area was pretty but covered in goose feathers and poo. We couldn’t swim in it. On Saturday morning, we were woken up at 8:00am by loud banging on the camper. They were delivering eggs, which were good, but not worth being woken up so starkly. The spot was in a back yard and there was no privacy at all. There were people actively working the site around us all day. It was my 8-year-old’s birthday trip and we ended up having to take her into Galena to a hotel. Our older kids stayed with their dad in the camper but spent the entire night killing flies. We were killing flies in the hotel and in the van the entire way back to Chicago. They kept crawling out of our bags. We are a pretty chill family. Kids grew up swimming in rivers and ponds and playing on farms. This spot was a bit of a nightmare for us.

Nice location!
I loved the location; beautiful views, especially sunrise/sunset. Sadly, I picked the hottest week to go camping and my site didn’t have a lot of shade. This is not a negative for the site; more make sure you check weather predictions or you might boil! Facilities were great and staff was friendly. Definitely would go back!

Had a great stay! Enjoyed the walking path. Sky was huge and light pollution low for the area. Family enjoyed swimming and hiking around.

The camper has everything you need. Everything was good. Had one minor issue that was addressed and taken care of immediately. The property is gorgeous, beautiful sunsets and so many stars!
