We do have space on our property to comfortably accommodate up to 8 spaces for Overnight guests. I moved to the farm in 2010 with the intent to simply enjoy the peace And quiet of country living.

We had a great time staying on Carol's property. It was lush and quiet. There was plenty of seating (around the campfire too) so we didn't even need to bring our camping chairs. There was also a camper with electric and a kettle, in case we needed that. Carol was a gracious and communicative host. Thank you!

We can’t wait to see all the amazing things Carol creates in the future. Best Wishes, Everyone.

It was perfect for our night stay. It was dark by the time we drove in, and the owner met us at the driveway to help us drive in and helped with getting us hooked up. Beautiful view. You can hear the freeway as it is close by, but it didn’t bother us. Would stay again if ever passing through this area again!

Another great trip to Kayak Starved Rock Campground! We really love our campsite. We don’t feel overcrowded, and it’s a great view of the river. This time we took some paddle boards and had a blast exploring the water. We paddled over to Starved Rock State Park during the day and went back out at sunset. Like the laid back atmosphere of the place.

Very pretty open space. Lots of different sites to suite your needs. Wooded areas, clearings, by the water. The sites are close together but by the water they are deep, so you can set your tent back from others to feel more private. Very quiet and serene. We watched the moon reflecting off the water at night. Very dog friendly. Just know to bring what you know you’ll need to be comfortable. They have tents to rent and wood to by. Very clean potties.

The 140s were river front, narrow, but deep. The original sites are VERY CLOSE in the 90s, we didn't explore . Port a potty very clean. Unable to move picnic tables and ours was staked under an actively ripe and dropping mulberry tree, so be forewarned to that possibility. Obviously, woods and water, lots of mosquitos, bring extra! Hiked and swam. Was first irked by no radio, but found it to be LOVELY! We do indeed not always need to be entertained.
