This 25 acre parcel was once owned by a sand mining company. There are mounds and valleys all along the Illinois River. We purchased the property in 1987, and cut in the road. The city of Ottawa recently annexed the property into the Ottawa city limits. It's like owning our own wild park.

At night we have a lovely lullaby of owls, night birds, insects and frogs. Sometimes you can even hear sounds from the Illinois River and railway a miles away. Barges, trains (not many) tug boats, and the interesting sounds that come with them. Listen carefully, can you tell them apart?

I camped for 3 nights at this beautiful peaceful campsite. The host was great, and the site itself was just amazing! A beautiful river, trails and plenty of deer. I wish i could have stayed longer.

My son and I loved our camping experience at Horseshoe Bend - Creekside West. Brady is an excellent host, he left firewood, a grill, and garbage receptacle at our site. He also had ample firewood available on a flatbed nearby that we could pull from if needed. Brady came out to greet us when we arrived and pointed out some trailheads and nearby sites. The property is absolutely gorgeous and having the creek run through our campsite was a real treat. We sat down next to the creek every morning and afternoon, it was so peaceful listening to the water and watching nature around us. We spied a group of deer crossing the creek under the bridge, one beaver busy doing something, and an Illinois mink scrambling across a log. The site was incredibly quiet aside from the welcomed coyote chatter and occasional nearby cow overnight. In the mornings we were welcomed by all sorts of bird song which I personally love about camping in general. This will go down as one of the best camp sites we’ve ever stayed at and there have been many. Thank you Brady for opening your beautiful property to camping enthusiasts like us!

Our site was beautiful, we ended up staying at creek side site and enjoyed the creek with the pups. All sites are large and give a secluded feel. Brady was very helpful and even brought us a picnic table after we got there because the site didn’t have one yet. Definitely going back again.

Very nice location next to a flowing creek. Great horn owl hooting all night gently, I wish I saw it. There is a beautiful platform I can sit watch the sunset and listening to the bubbling creek. The owners are very nice and friendly. I got to charge my EV that is very nice.

2 nights at Yurt Glamping Tents + Farm Animals
The cabin we stayed in was perfect for the two of us. The wood burning stove was beyond efficient in keeping us warm. We were there early March in the middle of the week so they wasn’t much going on. We went mainly for a relaxing getaway. Sam was extremely communicative and quick with responses to my questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better time. We will go back, a yurt next time.

We had such a blast camping this past weekend. Brady is an excellent host, brought us firewood directly to our campsite and making sure we had everything we needed. The bathroom was really clean, the woods were gorgeous and it was so nice to get away from the city for a reset. My dog had a great time running around off leash, the site was very well maintained; we will definitely be back!

Horseshoe Bend has quickly become one of my favorite places to camp. Brady, the host, is great and all the sites are well-maintained. The sites are also spread out in a way that you have some privacy. I've only stayed on the "main" side, but there's also several sites they call "creekside" that look really cool. My favorite feature of this campground is the walking path leading out to a beautiful forest scene. I just got back home from camping this past weekend, and while I do prefer Summer camping at Horseshoe Bend, Winter camping here was also an excellent time. Thanks again, Brady.

This camping compound is secluded! Surrounded by trees and wilderness.
I was the only one there because of the season but I can imagine how pretty it would be with trees full of leaves in warmer weather.
My 2 dogs loved running around and taking in all the new smells. Super long road was great to walk on for light exercise or if you’re feeling adventurous you can walk through the trees.
- The host reached out with directions. Waze has no idea where to go but Apple/google maps sure do. They reached out again in the evening to make sure all is well.
- location signage it’s apparent. Site location is clear but not intrusive. Brown signs vs bright colored.
- 30 amp available. Easy to use.
- cell service good (att)
- Fire ring and firewood readily available. Which was nice because it was about 20 degrees.
- environment was very quiet. Could hear coyotes singing from a far distance, birds and squirrels chattering with each other.
I would enjoy coming back during a warmer season.

I loved tent camping on Brady’s land. There was clear directions on getting there and was very spacious campground. We were the only campers there but even if there the other camp sites were full his campgrounds are nice and spread out that you still have the privacy and quiet nature experience you are looking for. Brady was also very responsive and offered extra fire wood if needed.
