We loved our tent camping weekend at Horseshoe Bend. We have a camper and decided to tent camp since we haven't in many years. We picked the perfect place!! Our site was right on the creek and next to an old bridge. Perfect! The site was very spacious with plenty of trees for shade and hammock hanging. We listened to the wildlife all day (and night. The sound of birds & coyote are exactly what we were looking for:) The stars at night were amazing! We walked the trails through the woods with our dog and just had such a peaceful weekend. If you're looking for a reset this is exactly what you will find. Everywhere we went it was clean & quiet. There were other people there but only saw a few because the sites are so spread out. We had an amazing time and will definitely return!!

It was our first time booking a campsite with hipcamp and based on our experience at Creekside 1 at Horseshoe Bend we will definitely be using hipcamp again, and will likely visit Horseshoe Bend again. Loved the seclusion of our campsite, had plenty of firewood, and enjoyed walking the trails around the property! 10/10 would recommend!

This is our second stay at horseshoe bend, and once again we enjoyed it very much. It’s beautiful here, and there are more trails to hike this time which we enjoyed as well. We again appreciated the free firewood and the spaciousness and privacy of our site. I’m sure we will be back here again sometime in the future.

Loved how private each individual camp sight was. Bathrooms were kept clean and well stocked as well as the showers with on demand hot water. It was a beautiful area with a creek running through and wild life galore. Plenty of trails you could bike or walk that were well maintained. And our host, Brady, could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Left us plenty of wood and directions on where to get more if needed. Definitely going back. Loved this place.

Brady's campsites are spaceous and well-spaced out from each other. Enjoyed the peace and solitude of nature all hours of the day/night. Plenty of miles of enjoyable walking/hiking. Will definitely be visiting again.

This place is so much fun and very secluded. The water is clear and my kids had fun swinging on the rope and swimming, we also did some light fishing. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. They have a friendly dog that visits, so keep your food up. Only thing I would complain about is my own phone, I had no signal (att).
We will be back!

We enjoyed our quick getaway at this campsite. For about $50 per night, you’ll get a semi-private site, direct parking & creek access, fire pits & spend some time with their dog. I wish both sites had their own access to the creek, however, for more privacy. (My bf & I expected to relax alone, but the pit toilet is between the two sites & there was only access to the creek from our side, so the other family staying walked through our site often.) The creek and animals were gorgeous & the trains didnt bother us at all, though they came through frequently. The owner came down to check on us when we arrived & when we were set to leave, but they were flexible on check in/out times. Would come back for sure!

We loved the site. I got to go swimming in the creek and we had a wonderful fire. Unfortunately our tent stopped being waterproof during a storm so we had to leave early but we'll be back!

Long review but worth it!
My friends and I through college have taken up the hobby of camping. This year, we waited a little too long to book the usual bigger campsites in Illinois. After searching everywhere, we found this absolute gem!
The camp site is extremely private and quiet. The water is perfect for sitting a chair in and letting your feet cool off (if low). The trees provides plenty of shade and protection from rain. It rained the morning after our first night and awoke from our naps to a fresh pile of dry fire wood!
our last day their we got a pretty nasty storm and the host came and checked on us as we were packing up. The host was extremely respectful of our privacy while also making us feel welcome. This will most definitely be our go to spot! And way cheaper than most spots around central IL!! Love this beautiful location and 10/10 recommend for tent campers!
