Weekend Trip to Hidden Waters At Buttercup Ranch

We had a great time here! Lots of fish to catch, and great campsite. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. The sheep and goats were fun to watch and the 2 farm dogs loved spending time with us at the campsite. If you have dogs, I would make sure they are good around animals and other dogs before considering coming out. We didn’t bring our dogs and I’m glad. I don’t think they would have done well. There are canoe rentals, farm tours, fresh eggs and more. They also have special events at the farm that look like a blast!!

Weekend Trip to Conant Crossing

We had a peaceful stay. Loved the convenience to the World Shooting Complex and nearby restaurants. Our son enjoyed fishing in the pond. Caught one bass, a couple turtles and had a catfish on, but he managed to get off the hook before getting it all the way in to bank. Everything was released back into the pond. We also visited the nearby Pyramid State Recreation Area where he caught a couple more bass. We will definitely keep this place in mind for the future.

1 night at I-55 RV Park

We stayed here as a stopover and couldn’t have been more pleased. The RV park is well-kept and easy to access, making it a perfect place to rest during a travel day. What really stood out were the owners—genuinely kind, welcoming, and helpful. You can tell they care about making sure guests have a good experience. Whether you're passing through or staying a bit longer, this is a solid spot. Would absolutely stay again!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Waters At Buttercup Ranch

Rich and Mary were very kind and enjoyable to talk to. They met us when we went to the wrong gate and showed us to our spot. We only stayed one night, but I would love to go back for a longer stay. The one thing to note was that there were a lot of bugs, but that was expected due to the location and lake. I definitely recommend this site!
