Nice property. Gorgeous sunset. Portapottie is on the other side of the property which I wish I knew beforehand as I may have camped elsewhere. It's a bit dark since it's in a barn and has no hand sanitizer so just make sure you've got a flashlight and hand sanitizer if needed. The instructions say if you have a car small enough with high clearance you can cross the bridge (mine was too big to drive across which is fine), but the owner said the bridge isnt built to be driven across. So for anyone thinking of driving to your campsite, just be aware of that! :)

My daughter and I love camping and horses and this was the perfect mix!! Loved our site, we were able to set up hammocks and have a nice fire. The train is loud at night but it kinda makes it more of an adventure. The horses coming into our site was just the most epic and amazing thing. Host is so sweet and we cannot wait to come back to do a trail ride! Note: the road to the site is very bumpy so keep this in mind with vehicle. Recommend!!

One of the best camping experiences I’ve ever had 🌿. The place feels super safe, cozy, and peaceful; we truly enjoyed a real camping experience with lots of privacy and connection to nature. Suzanne was so kind from the moment we arrived, and even helped us carry our things to the campsite with a tractor. We also got to meet her beautiful horses and give them treats 🐴💛.
Another highlight was the flexible check-in and check-out times, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. That was one of the main reasons we chose this spot, and it really made a difference. We left feeling delighted and are already looking forward to coming back!

I slept in my car here in their secluded grassy patch, and it was so pretty! There was tall grass and a tree line blocking off any neighboring country houses, and the lot was a far distance from their own place to feel extremely private. The place well kept and mowed, and it was such a calm, pretty morning. I would definitely stay here again - a great price for my quick stay!

My two nights at Suzanne‘s campsite were perfect. She was very responsive when I was having difficulties with the directions, she had brought down nearly 5 gallons of water to the campsite as well as wood, if I wished to have a fire, and helped me bring my tent and bags to the campsite on her tractor. Suzanne is practicing great stewardship of the land while having a working farm with horses and lots of chickens. . She and her husband have horses and many happy chickens. She was also kind enough to light the path to and from the Porta potty and my campsite. I traveled with my two small dogs. Both of them loved running around on the miles of trails that they have on their property. And I will definitely return to see how it develops over the years. I was also really charmed by that neck of the woods. As a resident of a suburb of Chicago, I forget how much of Illinois is not Chicago and how beautiful many parts of it are including the nearby Fox River. I’d definitely recommend this campsite (and she has a bigger one too!).

Our stay here was amazing! The spot felt very secluded and private. We loved being able to have our dogs off leash and there was ample space for both cars and tents. The only thing I would like to see is a fire ring or pit, as there is not currently a designated place to have a camp fire.
All in all, this campsite allowed us to have a peaceful and relaxing Labor Day weekend away from the crowds while being close to the National Park. We would definitely consider staying again!

We had an incredible time!!! The train bridge made it feel so magical, and waking up the grazing horses near our tent was the delight of my trip so far!!!!

We’ve had the pleasure of staying here on multiple occasions, and each time, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We always make sure to book a horse trail ride during our visit, and the creak is an absolute delight for our kids to play in. Meredith is incredibly accommodating and always goes above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning in the future!

This is a magical place! My kids and I have been coming here for years and look forward to it all year long- the horses, the beautiful land, the creek, and the excitement of the freight train passing overhead are all highlights ! Highly recommend!

Meredith was accommodating to us for a last minute request and shared alternatives due to a rainy weather situation. We had a self-contained camper van and were proposed a spot in the parking next to the barn to rest for the night. We were (unfortunately!) not able to take advantage of the full experience at the private creek site but we saw the potential :-)

Loved the campsite and the accommodation. Five stars!! Only thing that was confusing. Was the directions. You need to set your location at the front entrance not the campsite.
