I am 90% ovo-lacto vegetarian except in cases of hunting guests offering their own catfish, bass, venison, boar or turkey, in which case I fire up the bbq and get busy, because hunters are essential for environmental preservation. The fire ring is available for traditional cast iron cooking. Dogs under 50 lbs are welcome if they're trained, you clean up after them, keep them leashed around guests and kenneled at night. I have 2 small dogs and I can kennel them on request.

Even if you stay just one night to break up travel (as I did), I highly recommend the Art Farm. The spaciousness of the camp was a delight. I arrived at the property around 9 pm, and Laura graciously showed me a secluded site towards the back of the tract. The nearest camper was far away, and though it was mid-November when I stayed, I could still envision seclusion in a busier season. The land was well-maintained, and Laura offers a variety of camping spots. Paducah was also well worth seeing- a lovely town right along the Ohio River with several cool spots! I’ll be back!

This is a lovely camp site near a small pond and a 5 minute walk to a new and very clean out house. Our camp hosts were very hospital, friendly and accommodating. They brought us lots of fire wood as it was pretty cold when we stayed there. We spent many hours around the large fire ring just talking and enjoying the quiet. We did not have clear skies so we weren't able to take advantage of the star gazing, but the area is free from light pollution and the nearby field would give you lots of space to star gaze. I highly recommend this site.

I especially loved that the tent area was shaded while the camping pit was just a few feet away under the open sky. I didn’t have a hammock with me, but wished that I did because there were so many great spots to hang it. Having the shower was a blessing as well. It was great to be able to start the morning with a hot rinse.

Jennifer and John were amazing hosts! They were available whenever there were questions and the site was wonderful. Having more than enough room for a large group was a benefit and access to the pond and any firewood that was needed was a bonus. The porta potty was one of the cleanest I've seen and was close to the site. The site is about a 15 minute drive to the Garden of the Gods recreation area which is great as you are close by but not on top of a crowd of people. We camped with adults, a child, and a dog and everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend booking a trip to Sonny Hill and would love to come stay with Jennifer and John again in the future.

Main Brothers Campground

49mi from Marion · 1 site · Karnak, IL
Nestled adjacent to the scenic Tunnel Hill State Trail, this campground offers a unique blend of outdoor adventure and comfort, making it an ideal destination for tent and RV campers alike. With well-maintained restroom facilities, picnic tables, grills, and a convenient dump station, visitors can enjoy a hassle-free camping experience while immersing themselves in nature. The history of the area dates back to 1904 when the Main brothers established their box factory, originally named Oaktown, which later became known as Karnak in 1913. The village's name, meaning "land of milk and honey," reflects its rich resources. Gus Bartleson and his sons from Grand Chain, IL, owned vast timberlands in the Karnak region, selling thousands of acres of farmland and White Tupelo timber. This timber was essential in producing wood containers and boxes, which played a significant role in the village's development. The Main brothers initially manufactured fruit jar containers and later expanded into producing White Tupelo egg cases. As competition grew, particularly with the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company, the Main brothers adapted their business to include wire-bound boxes and crates. At its peak, the Main Brothers Box and Lumber Company employed over 250 individuals and even constructed a two-story hotel to accommodate transient workers and visitors
