Weekend Trip to Horseshoe Bend

Great spot for camping! Staying next to the creek allowed for a peaceful retreat with several wildlife encounters. Deer, fox, mink, and several birds (including a surprised herron or egret) added to the experience. I was able to quietly observe and enjoy them at a respectable distance. Brady was an excellent host. He provided information on hiking and later checked in via text to ensure I made I back safely as I was traveling alone. Plenty of firewood and clean porta potties were a plus. Five stars, definitely recommend!

One of the nicest campsites I’ve visited, plenty of room, beautiful property and sites are spaced out.

Beautiful open area to camp and let dog run:) We had a pleasant evening as a stop over on a long trip.

Weekend Trip to Horseshoe Bend

Brady sets the bar for Hipcamp. His property and campsites are perfectly manicured and equipped with perfect amenities. The new port-a-potty he put in place is the cleanest I have seen in years. My wife, 4 dogs, and I have been to the Creekside 1 site 3 times and it has been perfect every time. We cannot wait to return.

Weekend Trip to Horseshoe Bend

Nothing better than being surrounded by the peacefulness of the woods. Breathing in the fresh air. Making a campfire to make dinner and s’mores. If this sounds like the perfect night away, then I recommend pitching a tent on this site.

Our second time at Horseshoe Bend and it won’t be the last! Great space, host is wonderful!

Beautiful location for tent camping. Plenty of space in between sites. I absolutely loved the flowing creek and sounds of all the birds. Although it rained, it was still worth it. Highly recommend!

I didn't want to leave. The songbirds are their own symphony in the morning. Very peaceful place to unwind amongst the trees.

1 night at Horseshoe Bend

Brady's property is gorgeous! We tent camped for two nights and really enjoyed staying by the creek. Tons of wildlife, and our dog loved it. There's some paths around the property to check out, including a super cool old bridge and crazy flower patches! Would definitely stay again, super nice guy.

1 night at Horseshoe Bend

My son and I had a fantastic time at Creek Side 1. Will be bringing my whole fam back for a longer trip in the fall! Incredible woodland area surrounding us. Caught a couple small mouth bass and a large mouth. Probably 150 meters between each campsite. Felt like we were out in the woods but also had some creature comforts. See you in the fall!

Frakers Grove Farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents250 acres · La Fayette, IL

Frakers Grove Farm has been part of my family since the 1980s, but its history extends back to 1828 when Michael Fraker arrived and negotiated a peaceful settlement with the local Native American tribes, becoming the first settler in North Eastern Knox County. His grave, along with those of approximately 26 relatives and friends, is located on the property. Camp on a 250-acre farm in Western Illinois, featuring a 1.5-acre pond stocked with Blue Gill, Crappie, Wide Mouth Bass, Catfish, and resident Grass Carp, plus a small creek. The property also has trails and abundant wildlife, including deer, American river otters, beavers, geese, wood ducks, and raccoons. A Jon boat is available for use on the pond. We offer 1 Walk-in Camp Site and 1 Drive-In Site by the pond, each with a fire ring. RV camping is currently in a trial phase; your feedback is invaluable. This area provides primitive wooded camping behind and around the pond, with the RV site located next to the pole barn. Note: The RV site listing is not normally active, so please reach out in advance if interested. Guest WiFi is available near the buildings. Assistance with transporting tents and supplies to and from the campsite on check-in and check-out days is available upon request. Facilities include a Porta Potty and potable water from a yard hydrant, both located near the Pole Barn. NOTE: This is an active farm with considerable activity involving heavy machinery during the spring and fall. We currently have chickens and are taking a break from pigs. The newly established pasture is expected to yield grass hay this year to help fund new fencing, a preparatory step for introducing cows.
