Weekend Trip to Hidden Ridge - at Otter Lake

My wife and I made our second trip to Hidden Ridge to celebrate our 10th anniversary. The last time we stayed it was cold and raining the entire time and we still had such a great time that we knew we needed to come back. This place is genuinely a great find! We are normally tent campers so this setup almost feels like cheating and we compare it to renting out a cabin for the weekend. Probably the best part though is the responsiveness of the hosts. We did have a few hiccups with the water system while we were there but were always able to get ahold of the hosts and they got us back up and running quickly. It really does come across that they want you to enjoy your time at this location.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Waters At Buttercup Ranch

We had a blast and caught a lot of fish (bass & crappie). Very quiet and relaxing. Mary was very helpful and provided us with firewood

Weekend Trip to R & T Farms

I enjoyed staying at the Grain Bin. It’s a simple and pleasantly quiet farm. Above all, I felt completely safe and comfortable here. I would definitely stay again!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Waters At Buttercup Ranch

Rich and Mary were very kind and enjoyable to talk to. They met us when we went to the wrong gate and showed us to our spot. We only stayed one night, but I would love to go back for a longer stay. The one thing to note was that there were a lot of bugs, but that was expected due to the location and lake. I definitely recommend this site!

1 night at Grove On Top Possum Hill

What a peaceful night listening to the frogs chirping!

Weekend Trip to Timberline Ridge

Fantastic views! Very peaceful and private. We will be back. Highly recommend! Thank you for the most relaxing camping experience.

Weekend Trip to McCully Heritage Project

Beautiful campground, will definitely be back make a point to camp here again!

Weekend Trip to McCully Heritage Project

We loved tent camping. We may choose a different spot a little more secluded next time. But overall it’s a nice area!

1 night at Emerald Acres Farm

A serine camp site, wonderful bath and shower house. And adorable Great Pyrenees dog named Stalla. A wonderful host Monica.

5 nights at Timberline Ridge

We went for quiet and relaxation and it did not disappoint. Great tiny house. Everything was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots and pans you would need. Husband enjoyed the fishing. The screened in porch was used alot. Close to town and good restaurants. Sad to leave. Will definitely be going back. Had a hummingbird visit.

1 night at Urban Surprise

The place is level, wide, and well kept! Definitely not the spot if privacy is your #1 priority, but tucked away out of eye shot from major roads. Directions were clear and thorough and host is friendly and communicative!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Ridge - at Otter Lake

We stayed at Hidden Ridge for the weekend and had an amazing experience. The campsite is secluded, yet still very easy to find. You can tell Terri put a lot of thought and care into every detail. The outdoor kitchen station was fully stocked with everything we needed—silverware, plates, cups, cooking utensils, and more. The bathroom and shower area was clean and super convenient. The glamping tent was spotless, and the bed was comfortable. One of my favorite moments was waking up in the morning and enjoying the peaceful view from the tent’s back porch. Terri also had plenty of firewood ready to go. It had rained just two hours before we arrived, but the fire pit and logs were all covered and dry—such a thoughtful touch. And to top it all off, the place is pet-friendly! My cattle dog had the time of his life exploring the area. I truly can’t wait to come back and stay here again. Highly recommend!

1 night at Triangle H Farm, LLC

Pink boot horse made me feel safe when hearing evil noises at night. Great portapotty too. Deceivingly cute bunny but definitely evil. I woke up to a cock a doodle doo which reminded me of when I grew up on the farm. Sad memories, shed a tear.

1 night at Earth, Wind & Solar Farm

We had a great experience camping here with our travel trailer. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and it is a beautiful property with a large pond and chickens. We enjoyed going for a walk in the neighborhood and had a very peaceful and quiet evening. This spot could not be any more convenient to I-70 but you would never know it. We definitely recommend it to other travelers in the area and would love to stay here again in the future. We also purchased the egg add-on which was delightful. Farm fresh eggs really added to the experience.

1 night at Grove On Top Possum Hill

Loved our stay here! Beautiful property and just exceptionally hospitable hosts!!! Thank you Ron & Karmen for the conversations and making sure we were comfortable - allowing us to use the bathrooms at night and in the early morning before we left!

4 nights at Hidden Ridge - at Otter Lake

I don't know what I was expecting when I reserved this little camping spot, but it surpassed any and all expectations! This place is ADORABLE ... and cozy and homey and relaxing ... it was just perfect. And Teresa was a great host who checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We travel to this part of Illinois on a regular basis to visit family/friends, and I have no doubt that we'll be staying here again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Grove On Top Possum Hill

This is a great place to go camping. The host is a gentleman and property is charming. There's a quaint little pond where the frogs sing you a lullaby. Campsites each have a fire ring and they'll supply you with firewood at a low cost so no need to pack any in. Plenty of room to park next to your campsite so set up is a breeze. For a few dollars you can have fresh farm eggs for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. There's a lake very close which could make a great outing.

1 night at McCully Heritage Project

Both I and my girlfriend had an incredible time. The overall experience was fantastic. It felt so much better than one of those parking spots with a picnic table camp sites. I was very happy to get a free bag of firewood and opted to get a second for the extra $5. The grill included on the campfire pit combined with a portable griddle top let me cook steak and eggs right over the fire, allowing for a delicious meal out. The hiking trail was fantastic. It was so secluded (We went on a week day) and relaxing. The forest was beautiful. Thank you so much for keeping this land available for camping and I hope to visit again.

1 night at R & T Farms

A beautiful and peaceful spot. I loved meeting the very friendly kitties. The owners were very gracious and accommodating. A perfect stay!

Weekend Trip to Timberline Ridge

100% would recommend this place. Quiet, fishing was great, hosts were welcoming, and offered plenty of fire wood w/seating next to the lake. We will definitely be returning to this location.

Grove On Top Possum Hill

4 sites · Tents4 acres · Worden, IL

The Legend of Possum Hill is an old one. Most likely named thus even before the settlers arived in St. Louis. Before the great expansion west and before the Gateway Arch graced the sky. Wild was the west and animals roamed at will never having seen a man. The acient Indian tribe of Cahokia once had its own travelers who left their mounded cities of pyramids to explore and hunt for new adventure. It was on one of these travels a great storm arose from the spring sky bringing ice down from the heavens. The Indian party was hard pressed to find shelter from such turbulent winds, rain and it was even claimed they witnessed some snow blended in as well well! This particular spring the waters had risen quite high . With this latest storm the creeks and rivers were rushing over their banks. The Indians knew they had to find high ground. They knew they would only be safe in a shelter high enough the raging waters could not breach. Just when they were giving up hope for a suitable place they passed through a low lands grove treading through ankle deep waters when the land started to rise. And rise it did! Up they went up a steep climb and as they crested they found a large grove of hickories, Sycamore and Oak trees. The Indians prized such trees for their strong hard wood and towering hight. They found safety within them and upon chance several hollows in the ancient trees and quickly sheltered themselves in pairs. They weathered until the suns golden rays stretched accross the small pond. In one hollow a young Indian stirred and and he and his companion left their shelter. Reaching back into the tree they grabbed their packs and found hidden behind them, a family of possums who also hIad hid from the storm. Upon return to Cahokia the young Indian told of their travels and remembering the sheltering family of marsupials, he named the place in their honnor because they shared their shelter. And that is the Legend of Possum Hill.Learn more about this land:4 acres with scattered hickory and oak trees with a small fruit orchard in front of an acre size pond. Plenty of space to have a private camp site and enjoy the sounds of nature. Have a sit by the pond or relax in the shade. The evening could be spent grilling or sitting around the fire ring. Perfect for travelers just wishing for a place to stay while an event is in town or just a place to rest their head on the way through. 16 mies from SIUE and Edwardsvile 45 minutes from most of St. Louis. Far enough out in the country but close enough to the city to not miss out on the fun.
