The site is pretty much what we expected as based on images from the website, but it was also much more. We had an unfortunate event or three prior to arriving, let the host know our pop up was not working properly but we had a tent. She was welcoming and friendly.
it is difficult to put into words the calm I felt sitting on the patio feeling the cool breeze off the pond and listening to the music of splashing water.
Another "wow" moment was the fact that the host had a family party on the private area across the pond and we really didn't hear much at all.
The bathroom/shower was clean and the water was hot.
the sites are new gravel, so keep toes and soles in mind. the play area and firepit seemed inviting. This place is highly recommended.

Brady’s place was just right for a one-night stopover on my cross-country trip! There is soft grass for pitching a tent, and a graveled area if you have a trailer. Brady provides a small picnic table, a cooking table, and several chairs, all under a spacious canopy for protection from rain (or hot sun!). There are also lights, an electric outlet, and a hose for fresh water. The outdoor shower is wonderful! There’s also a comfy swinging bench for watching the sun set over the small pond.
My only caveat is that the area is pretty close to the road, with no barrier. There wasn’t a lot of traffic and little to none at night (so noise wasn’t an issue), but you do have to keep an eye on kids or your dog so they don’t run into the road.

We absolutely loved this spot and wish we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy this calm, quaint HipCamp! The hot shower was a huge bonus!

Beautiful spot, thoughtful owner. Really the best spot we’ve ever been. Caught lots of bass, there’s a little place down the road that serves chicken wings and drinks!

Place was amazing. It was easy to find and pull into. Crystal was very attentive to made sure we had contact if we needed anything right away. It was very pretty and peaceful. Bonus, all the other campers staying there were super friendly! Would definitely go back if in the area again.

Brady has a fantastic place on a beautiful pond with all the extras that you could ever ask for. This was the best night. I have spent using Hipp camp. He even had two ply in the Porta John. I mean who does that? This place was awesome. I would go out of my way to come back here and stay longer

Great place to stay. Quite and clean. Well set up campsite. Communication with Brady was great. I let him know I was arriving late and he met me to show me the place at 11:00 pm. Very pleasant person. Staying again on my return trip home.

What an amazing place!! So idyllic , peaceful , quiet.. and everything we needed & more for our stay . We’ve had 3 long days of travel from Colorado with grandkids & dogs. We sure appreciated this wonderful place . The host was super communicative & extra helpful with any of our questions . The outdoor shower was perfect .. especially because it’s been hot & humid . The grandkids loved hanging out by the pond & exploring. We also think we learned about a new toad ( the Wood houses toad .. it kinda screams at night) fun for kids, adults & dogs for sure!!!❣️

It was very nice. The shower was wonderful. Brady was nice. It wasn’t for a light sleeper in a tent. Trains, frogs, and trucks were frequently heard. But the set up is superb!

An idyllic little spot on a pond, equipped with a nice shower and a lit up table area. It was perfect after a long day’s drive.
The sounds of all the pond creatures were nice to fall asleep to.
A dreamy peaceful camp :)

We made a last minute reservation at Quiet Countryside Camping for a few days when the campground we were staying at flooded. Brady greeted us when we arrived and then gave us our space. The campsite had everything you could need: bathroom, hot shower, fun lighting, Adirondack chairs, fishing poles, bug spray, firewood... seriously everything. We loved the covered picnic table area and my kids had a ton of fun fishing in the pond. We visited the nearby lake beach one day and had a great time. The nights were quiet with fireflies and bullfrogs. We were there during the week so a decent amount of truck traffic during the day. I'm assuming the weekends are quieter. Campsite is set back from the road and feels private. Everything worked out great for our family!

By FAR this is one of our favorite spots! Not only is it a level gravel spot with electric and water…. But there is also: a pond with fish in it, a covered patio with a table, fire pit with chopped wood available, a charcoal grill w/ charcoal available, chairs AND. A heated outdoor shower! It’s off the busy road and gives a sense of country life/relaxation while traveling. It was AWESOME!

Nice, clean camping facility. Holiday weekend Saturday night only. Only one other family camping. We appreciated the peacefulness. Full camping amenities ( electric, water & sewer hookups) plus onsite restroom, shower & laundry room if needed. We enjoyed utilizing the fire ring. Beautiful evening to sit by the fire. The host responded quickly when we had a question about how to use the water system. We stopped on our return to from Branson MO to Ohio. We would stay again without hesitation.

We had such a wonderful stay at this secluded-feeling campsite in Vandalia, IL. While there are homes nearby, the layout and surroundings still made it feel private and peaceful — like our own little haven in nature.
Brady’s site had everything we needed and more. It was clean, thoughtfully set up, and incredible. We enjoyed the fishing and one of the absolute highlights was the heated outdoor shower — what a treat! Taking a hot shower in the crisp morning air was such a refreshing way to start the day. We left feeling relaxed and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend!

This site was perfect for us. A nice quiet stopover on our way to Missouri. The setup was great. The shower and bathroom were a much appreciated bonus. We loved just sitting by the fire listening to the bullfrogs. Thank you!
