This was our second time staying at Whispering Pines Campground, and we just had to come back for their Fall Fest! My little boys (ages 4 and 2) had an absolute blast — from the mini pumpkin patch and petting zoo to the pony petting, playground, and carnival games. There was so much to do, and the amazing food trucks meant we never had to leave the campground for meals! The staff were so friendly and helpful, and both the cabin and bathhouse were spotless and well-maintained. We can’t wait to come back again next year! Spring break can't come soon enough!

We are typically super primitive camping types but my daughter said “hey mom can we have 4 walls, AC, and electricity but still have adventure?”. Well of course I said and this was the perfect mix. AC, microwave and mini fridge with actual beds was a great treat! We cooked on the grill and had a fire in the fire pit every night. Close to the Hennepin Canal for a hike or Geneseo for a cute town. Loved the close bathrooms and shower yet felt like you were away.
Suggestions: bring a wagon if you have a lot to bring to your site or cabin as you cannot pull up to your spot. Bring your own bedding. Do not bring firewood as it can endanger the local trees but firewood there is very very well priced!

We had such a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary here with our toddler. You can tell how much love is put into this land and we enjoy it so much here! We had a very rainy night and the cabin stayed cozy and dry. The land is quiet and was perfect for letting our little one run around. We will definitely be back 😘

Loved everything, but couldn't drive to the cabin, had to carry everything from the parking lot. Although the girl at check in offered to take everything over in the golf cart. Very friendly and very peaceful place.
We left very early but I would say the game room and hammocks were awesome. Everything thing was clean and as described.

We just got back from the most amazing stay at Whispering Pines in Geneseo, IL, and we can’t say enough good things about it! My wife and I brought our two boys (ages 4 and 1), and it was truly the perfect family getaway.
The modern cabin was spotless, beautifully updated, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. Our boys absolutely loved waking up each morning and heading straight to the playground and sandbox—it kept them entertained for hours. One of the highlights was the mini trail with a scavenger hunt, which was such a fun touch for the kids.
What really stood out was how kind and thoughtful the staff were. One of the employees went above and beyond by bringing a kiddie pool from her own home so our boys could splash around and cool off on the hot days. It made their trip extra special!
The bath house was extremely clean, and we felt completely safe throughout our stay. We are already planning our next visit next month because we loved it so much. Highly recommend Whispering Pines to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly camping experience!

3 nights at Black Sheep Flower Farm
The accommodations were perfect for a nice step up to tent camping. We had a snug, cozy cabin, access to a flush toilet(!!!!) and refrigerator to keep a few items in. the property was spacious and unique.
Dennis and Ben were great hosts who we enjoyed meeting while they were harvesting their beautiful flowers.
Dickson Mound museum directly across the road was a nice bonus with accessible walking trails. Hoping to go back again sometime!

Weekend Trip to Black Sheep Flower Farm
The farm was peaceful and lovely. The cabin was perfectly simple and charming. The fireflies at dusk and hummingbirds throughout the day, kept things magical. Dennis was a wonderful host. We felt welcome.

I stayed twice last year and it was just as nice this year. I sat on the porch where there was a nice breeze, strumming my guitar and watching the hummingbirds at the feeder. In the evening there was a brief coyote serenade. If they howled again later, I didn’t hear it as I was sound asleep.

We had a great time enjoying the peace&quiet. The view is pleasant, and it is a comfortable place to sleep and camp. There's a kitchen with running water & a fridge, and enough fallen timber in the woods that you don't need to bring firewood as long as you're prepared to chop some up. Dennis is a wonderful, friendly guy. I hope we can make it back here sometime!

Wonderful venue for people with young kids. They have a playground on site. Plenty of fire pits for the all important s’mores. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Cabins do get very cold in colder weather so get warmer blankets if you run cold. Just a suggestion for the hosts maybe a space heater for winter time. Great place to stay!
