Stories from the community

1 night at East Woods on the IL River

I had a great time! Quiet, secluded, and affordable. Exactly what I needed!

1 night at Daisy’s Farms On Notalotta Acers

This was the first hicamp I’ve stayed at and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The campsite was very well maintained, with a nice grassy and level ground for tent camping, a fire pit, and vegetation surrounding for the perfect amount of privacy. I loved listening to the relaxing sounds of the farms lambs, goat, chickens, and local bird life. The host was amazing, the quality of communication, friendly nature, and level of accommodation for us during our stay was beyond my expectations. We were given farm fresh eggs and got to meet puppy’s and kittens they had rescued! I felt comfortable, safe and content the entirety of my stay. I full heartedly recommend Daisy’s Farm and will definitely be back again!

Weekend Trip to Daisy’s Farms On Notalotta Acers

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, the host was amazing, so kind, friendly, helpful and accommodating. I felt super comfortable and safe throughout the entirety of my multiple night stay. The farm is gorgeous, I loved listening to the local birds, chickens and lambs! Vegetation provided my campsite with the perfect amount of privacy! The fire pit was really nice and the ground was perfect for tent camping, I will definitely be back again!

Weekend Trip to Angel Creek

Omar was very kind and came to see us a couple of times to make sure everything was ok. The grounds look great

10 nights at Glamp Chicago Yurt Urban Campsite

Very convenient location for getting around Chicago by public transit. Very secure urban location.

Weekend Trip to Welcome to our Magical Woods

Bumpy’s Hollow was an incredible campsite experience from start to finish. Not only is the location peaceful and beautifully maintained, but Heidi, the host, truly goes above and beyond. She’s not just friendly and accommodating; she’s one of the best hosts I’ve ever had, hands down. The campground itself is well laid out, with spacious and thoughtfully placed sites that offer a nice balance of privacy and accessibility. The grounds are clean, organized, and clearly cared for with love and attention to detail. She even preps your trip with firewood and fire starters and helps you bring your gear to the site. Her Co-Host Tilly, is the sweetest dog I've met with his own story to tell. But what really set my experience apart was Heidi’s hospitality. She greeted me with warmth and genuine enthusiasm, and didn’t hesitate to share valuable local insights. She provided a map of the surrounding area, suggested nearby trails, and even gave me personalized tips for my upcoming hike at Starved Rock the next day, which turned out to be incredibly helpful. It's rare to find a host who takes such active interest in making sure your entire trip, not just your stay on their property, is memorable and smooth. I can and will absolutely be staying at Bumpy’s Hollow again. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned camper, this place is a gem—and Heidi makes it feel like home.

2 nights at Welcome to our Magical Woods

Great spot! Private sites spread plenty far apart for privacy. As the other reviews mention, Heidi was great and very welcoming, and Tiller the dog was indeed a 100% good boy and visited our site daily just to hang out and get pets - my daughter loved him and all the other animals up at the farm entrance (horses, goats, roosters, the cat guarding the horse stable, etc. It rained like heck our entire first day, but heidi came out to help us tow in the gear and gave us fresh dry firewood to use once the rain let up. She also is an expert on the area and can provide guidance on activities, fishing, etc. Overall it's a nice secluded spot and we have a relaxing and peaceful time for my 5 year old's first camping trip.

1 night at Barrington Camp Close to Town

This is a wonderfully tranquil place to stay.. the host is brilliant too! Thanks!!

Weekend Trip to East Woods on the IL River

The land is a nice little spot. Katie is very sweet and welcoming.

Weekend Trip to Angel Creek

We loved camping here! Space was exactly as listed! Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to East Woods on the IL River

Secluded camping in true IL wilderness! We did a guys camping trip with 2 dads and sons. Location was close enough to civilization so you could easily get to town, but secluded enough that no other people were near by. Starved Rock is a 20 min drive, so is kayaking on the IL river.

Weekend Trip to Angel Creek

Another great weekend at Angel's Creek! It's quiet, clean, and ran by friendly people. I appreciate that they allow dogs as we have a large number of them LOL. Thank you Omar and family.

Weekend Trip to Welcome to our Magical Woods

I absolutely LOVED staying on Heidi’s land! The forest was beautiful, the firewood/fire starter/trash/recycling/lighters/chairs etc were super convenient to have, and walking a couple minutes from the car to the campsite was really lovely and kept the campground very serene. Heidi was extremely friendly and respectful—she helped us carry our gear in and out exactly when we requested, and we had a great time chatting with her. As a lesbian couple, my girlfriend and I felt safer than we ever have at a campsite before, which means the world. We will definitely be back! Thank you Heidi!

Weekend Trip to Paradise Quarry

The Paradise Quarry was a perfect getaway! Beautiful and spacious campsite near the water. The picnic table, lounge chairs, and Adirondack chairs were so nice to be able to use. Extremely clean porta potty. I enjoyed exploring the sand dunes on the property. The water in the quarry was perfect for some refreshing dips! You can hear traffic from the surrounding roads so I suggest ear plugs for bed time. I loved listening to all the birds! It was just a lovely and peaceful getaway! Thank you!

1 night at The Vaudeville Urban Farm Fun!

Nicky was great. Everything was just as advertised. My son and I were passing through on our way west. Popped our tent in the back of the yard and spent the evening walking around Chicago. Train station is a super easy and seemingly safe walk, and coming back late at night, the streets were empty and quiet. Very cool and unique experience.

2 nights at East Woods on the IL River

I loved how you could drive back, in the field, to either camp out your vehicle, or walk into this wooded site. There is a firepit ready for use. You may have to bring your camp shovel, to cleanup the pit. There is a lot of wood, cut into large logs, so if you have something to cut it down too small pieces, great. The stream, that runs through there is nice, but not enough to go fishing in. If you don’t mind loud train noises, or an announcer, giving you a play by play announcement over a loud speaker. Overall, it’s pretty quiet all through the night.

1 night at East Woods on the IL River

My favorite camping spot in all of Illinois! It really feels like you’re in your own little world out here, but so close to town if you need anything. I love the river and the pond. The wildlife is bustling and this spot is incredibly peaceful!

1 night at Daisy’s Farms On Notalotta Acers

Everything about the site was great. Right off the road, easy to find, and we were welcomed with fresh eggs and sticks for a fire! Kimberly was very communicative and next time we’re in Illinois we will stay at her farm again.

1 night at Paradise Quarry

Outstanding. Fully lives up to "rent your own state park" vibes that the pics give off. So many nooks and places and spaces.

4 nights at Barrington Camp Close to Town

Sam and his wife are truly amazing hosts! They make sure you get settled and help you with anything you need. We are pretty large rig of a 41 foot motorhome and a 22 foot cargo trailer that pulls our car and we were able to fit comfortably in his pasture site. The location is so peaceful and serene, gorgeous big trees. Fantastic location in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Very close to downtown barrington for groceries and restaurants. We have a small child and they have a great playground he was able to use. We just couldn’t recommend this site enough for future travelers!

The Vaudeville Urban Farm Fun!

8 sites · RVs1 acre · Chicago, IL

Twenty years of growing this farm... Not what grows here but the farm itself! Stone and brick pulled from the ground till we found the beautiful earth beneath and built an incredible community around it. Or rather, it grew itself from the energy that surrounds it. It's a special spot where you may happen upon a fire in the sugar shack while we boil city collected sap into maple syrup or have an open jam night with world class jazz musicians. Enjoy the morning serenade of our rooster! Really, just come and be here. Though we think we're pretty cool, a few things to note that you may not think are so cool: There is a train that runs directly behind the farm. Light sleepers, may want to bring ear plugs. We try to accommodate parking your car on site but it's weather and situation conditional. Assume the possibility that you may need to park on the street. Bring your tent to The Vaudeville! (RVs, campers, trailers, vans please see the ** at the bottom). Our urban farm is smack in the middle of Chicago only a 10 minute bike or train ride from Downtown, Lake Michigan, The Mag Mile and all Chicago has to offer! Bike the Lake Shore Trail, walk the 606, kayak the Chicago River, catch a blues show or Hawks game or just relax with the goats and chickens in the 9,000 square foot farm that we absolutely love to share with fellow campers! ** We have stopped hosting RVs, campers/vans, pull behinds and larger vehicles because we are finding it difficult to get them in the entrance gate but if you feel amazingly capable with your backing in skills in your rig and you're super patient, laid back and extra cool, let us know and we may be able to make it work!! :)

Paradise Quarry

1 site · RV, Tent20 acres · Sugar Grove, IL

Welcome to our beautiful property! This is a very special place, located an hour from Chicago and only minutes from the west suburbs, you will be transported to another time! This has to be the best “swimming/ fishing hole” in Chicagoland and you can have it all to yourself. The property features 20 acres of woods, prairie and an 8 acre lake!!! The lake is crystal clear because it’s so deep (reportedly 125 ft) and is sandy on the bottom. We created a massive beach area with many camping spots to choose from. The kids will love exploring the trails on foot and on bike. Everyone will love lounging under the umbrellas on the comfy chaise lounges and enjoying the views. You won’t want to leave, but if you need to restock, there a gas station 1/4 mile away and full service grocery store and restaurant under a mile away. We even get pizza delivered! There’s a nice driveway of gravel that leads to a nice open field for RV campers. Tent campers can continue to the beach and set up in style. The property was once an active quarry and was then basically abandoned for 40-50 years. Nature took over over, Trees matured, the stocked lake grew some massive fish. A few years ago we started camping out there and just loved it. We’ve worked hard to make it amazing and we want to share it with you.
