Perfect spot to camp right outside Galena! Perfect getaway for some roughing it camping! We'll definitely come back again. Thank you for providing such a beautiful piece of property to stay on.

This is exactly the kind of spot you hope to find when camping in Galena. The land feels almost beyond words. You’re perched on a hill with trees at your back and a sweeping view of the Mississippi Valley in front. The sunsets here rank among the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been chasing them for 44 years across the world.
The experience is completely private. A locked gate secures the property, and once I closed it behind me I felt wonderfully alone. There’s a sturdy iron table with chairs, a flat rock, and a great stone fire ring. I set up a hammock between two trees and had a clear view of the valley right from it.
You’re far enough from town to escape Galena’s buzz, but close enough to pop back for firewood or supplies. Darcee was a pleasure to communicate with and very kind about accommodating my changing needs before the trip.
I left feeling deeply grateful and rejuvenated. This place is a true gift.

We all loved the seclusion and the views of the nearby valley! The stars were so bright! It's close proximity to town and shopping was a huge plus! The only downside were the flies and mosquitos, but a few traps from Walmart solved that issue! Overall we had a great time! I would look forward to staying here again

My husband and I enjoyed camping here. The site felt secluded, and was easy to find. Close to downtown Galena which is a plus. Would camp here again.

This was our first time glamping in the trailer after previously camping in tents on the property, and it completely exceeded our expectations. The trailer was cozy, clean, and well-stocked with everything we needed - from kitchen essentials to bedding - which made our stay super relaxing and stress-free. The setting is just as beautiful as I remember: peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature. It's the perfect blend of outdoorsy charm and comfort. Easy drive to Galena for shopping and exploring. Hours of fun at the campground for the kids. Fun pond to swim in. You can really feel the love and care the hosts put into this place. We'll definitely be back!

This was such a great experience. Literally would change nothing. Directions were great, site was large, flat and private. Close to Galena and other nearby attractions. View from the site was amazing for sunsets and I even got a bonus fireworks show from the other side of the Mississippi River. Would definitely book again without hesitation.
