2 nights at Tall Tree Lake

Clean beautiful view af the lake. Great wildlife. Close to hiking and biking trails.

1 night at Wine Trail Wilderness

Such a nice spot and a wonderful host! We really wish we could’ve stayed longer but had to be on our way. Are hoping to come back out to visit again and would absolutely recommend. The host met us at their property and guided us to the site, provided ample firewood, prepared the fire pit for us, and had ice water ready and more ice available. It was a nice stay for the dogs too!

2 nights at Wine Trail Wilderness

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at WTW. Jon was an amazing host and made us feel right at home. Would love to stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

A serene and very well maintained campsite. Each site has ample privacy, and Jon is personally invested in ensuring each guest’s stay is enjoyable. We arrived to a campsite with a full 5 gallon container of ice water, a box stocked with firewood, a table and chairs, and a fire pit ready to roll. Definitely recommended as you’re centrally located on wine and hiking trails…perfect for a long weekend in Southern Illinois.

Absolutely amazing experience staying at Jon’s Hipcamp site! From the moment we arrived, Jon went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and genuinely cared that we had a great time. The site itself was beautiful and well-maintained, and Jon’s hospitality truly made it special. We felt welcomed and taken care of the entire stay. We would definitely come back again—highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable camping experience! Thanks, Jon! 🌟⛺🔥

3 nights at Wine Trail Wilderness

Great location, quiet at night, walk to a winery and 10 min drive to Little Grand Canyon. Awesome place to stay!

Weekend Trip to Tall Tree Lake

Beautiful lake with wide open camp sites. There was a wedding present the weekend we camped- I don't blame them. It's a perfect venue! The space was big enough that we didn't feel like we were intruding, and the wedding didn't bother us either. The bathrooms were clean and spacious, with showers available too.

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

The peace and solitude was amazing. As we slept, not one car passed. We just hear the bard owl and an occasional whippoorwill. It was like being in a bird sanctuary, day and night. The entire area is clean and was pristinely mowed for our stay this weekend. The water Jon brought us was delicious! A big plus for us was its proximity to The Little Grand Canyon- a great hike.

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

The area was beautiful! We had a short stay, but Jon was a great host and super communicative.

1 night at Wine Trail Wilderness

Wow what a special place! Who knew Illinois was so incredibly beautiful? (Probably plenty of folks, but I did not!) The hosts were extremely helpful and kind, making sure I was all set in their beautiful campground. I initially chose this place simply because it felt “on the way” but I will absolutely make a point to come back in the future. Absolutely could not recommend more.

1 night at Wine Trail Wilderness

The place is amazing but the hospitality puts the best bed and breakfast to shame. Arrived and greeted by Jon who welcomed us like old friends. Cold water and fire supplies were waiting. We stayed by the grain gazebo and right by the toilet which was nicer than any other place like this! We had the meadow to ourselves but even if there had been other campers there was plenty of privacy. Can hardly wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

John is a great host! He’s very accommodating and attentive. He’s very focused on how well the stay is and is eager to help. I highly encourage you to go if you’ve never been.

Wine Trail Wilderness

16 sites · RVs, Tents37 acres · Pomona, IL

The Shawnee National Forest surrounds us, accessible only by wandering roads, passing over creeks and alongside wineries. The trip is worth the beautiful drive, eventually arriving at "The Villa". Our home looks like an Italian villa, appropriately placed between two wineries in the middle of the Shawnee Forest. It is actually a straw-bale home with supplemental solar energy. Originally built as a Holistic Healing Center, we have converted it into a comfortable home with great vibes. We have converted an old grain bin into a "GrainZebo" just outside our home as a fun place to hang out with friends and family. We hope you enjoy the same relaxed feel we get while living out here in the woods, when you come visit. We will be happy to help you feel at home out here. We love sharing the Shawnee experience.
