Jon was great and communicated well. His friend Jodie met us and we followed her to our spot. Jon brought by some good water while we were at the winery and that was a welcomed touch. We walked down the trail and road and to the winery. Enjoyed the Norton amongst the blooming Wisteria. Dogwoods were in bloom. We enjoyed our stay at the Outpost. Only one other couple was there at the Grainzebe and they were great neighbors. We could see them but it was not like a state park where campsites are next to each other. We loved how quiet and peaceful it was. The full moon surprised us and we watched it and the stars while we enjoyed our campfire. Everything was clean and tidy. I could see care to the grounds with paths mown and others areas left to be grown prairie-like. News trees were planted for shade in upcoming years. We felt safe which was important. Firepit, picnic table, trash can, and recycling can were provided. Bathroom was fun and creative. It was by Gainzebo campsite so a short walk to it. We used electric for blankets to keep cozy warm. Oh, and our two small dogs were happy too. It was only a 50 minute drive from our home in Cape Girardeau so made for a great quick overnight out. We are familiar with the area and there are lots of nearby outdoor opportunities to visit.

This is the best Hipcamp I’ve stayed at. They have thought of everything. Our stay was so amazing. There is so much to do in this area and Jon provided us with excellent recommendations. Wine, music, food, peace and quiet, hiking, amazing views, and bright stars shining! We’ll be back ❤️

My husband and I had the best time van camping at Jon and Carla’s place! We’ve stayed at quite a few different Hipcamps, but their space was truly unforgettable! We loved being able to use the Grainzebo to hang out, cook meals, and sit around the fire! It doubled as an extra space to utilize during some rain storms, and kept us dry and comfortable! The sunset views are spectacular too! The location is wonderful, and made for getting around to our favorite spots easy! Though we had the middle camp spot, we felt like we had plenty of privacy! Everything is set up well! All of the extras they provide and think of really set this place apart from others. Attention to detail is amazing! They were so kind and attentive as well! We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back in the future for more anniversary trips! Jon and Carla, thank you for making this a wonderful trip for us!

We loved camping at WTW! It is a beautiful camp site with enough privacy for each camper and with every detail that its owners have taken into consideration. Each campsite has its own tables, chairs, fire pit, and wooded area. The owners so kindly have set up waste/recycling baskets and provided us with fresh and delicious water when needed. They have a really cool restroom with an impeccably maintained compostable toilet and a sink to wash hands. Little details with huge impact when you’re camping with young ones and staying more than an overnight. The grainzebo is a cool place to hangout if you’re interested in chatting with other campers and if in need of an electric outlet. The bocci ball court is the ultimate hangout after a meal or a long hiking day! The owners also provide each guest with great resources as far as places to visit. Needless to say, one of the best camps in Hip Camp and a true gem in Southern Illinois. Thank you Jon for all your kindness and hospitality, we hope to come back again!

We had a fantastic time at WTW. Peaceful, tranquil, and beautiful. More importantly, if there are better hosts anywhere I have yet to find them. I will definitely plan to stop by again when in the area.

Jon and Carla have a beautiful Hipcamp. This is the first time we have gone camping with our toddler girls (ages 3 and 1) and we had a blast! I am so glad we chose WTW. We loved that the campsite locations were spread out from one another, so that our girls could run around, play, and hopefully not disturb anyone with all the laughter and yelling that comes with young children. We stayed at the Dogwood Site for two nights and absolutely loved the location. It’s perfect for our large 10-person tent with plenty of room. Each site has a firepit and a table with chairs. We appreciated the 5 gallons of ice cold water that was provided. There even is a nice outhouse on the property. Just beware if you have T-Mobile you will not have cell phone reception in the area without having to drive into a major town. However, we enjoyed having less cellular distractions as we could focus more on quality family time. Overall, we had a great experience and are looking forward to planning our next trip here!

We had a great time camping (really it was glamping!) at WTW! Our host met us at our arrival with our pre-ordered wine (and even real wine glasses), which was a real treat after a long drive. The campsite had everything we needed and more, and Jon was responsive to every request. He even lent us a local guidebook for Snake Road (a must visit in the area, if you are into those sort of critters). And Jon gave us really good and useful recommendations for local hikes (like which way to take the Little Grand Canyon hiking trail). We loved the "grainzebo" and the property overall and definitely would come back again. The composting toilet/outhouse was really quite nice and way better than any camping toilet we've ever had access to! The bocce court was so fun (and an unexpected surprise!) and the lights around the grainzebo gave us the perfect hang out spot, even in the chilly weather. Loved the area and would recommend WTW to everyone.

I am so impressed with the hospitality that Jon provided. He thought of all the amenities and made sure we had everything we would need for our short stop in town. We chose the option to have the tent put up for us since we are traveling and ended up getting into camp at mostly dark. We used the rest of daylight to prepare our evening meal. Thank you Jon!

Close to the road for easy access. Many good flat spaces in the campsite to pitch a tent. Well maintained and ecofriendly outhouse. Access to bocci ball pit as that site wasn't being used. Fire pit was ready for us, fresh water provided and picnic table. Natural bridge and Little Grand Canyon areas are short drives away. Everything was well maintained and we could see the personal pride for the land/facilities. Jon was a great host!

Jon was an incredible host and treated us well throughout our week! The hospitality was unparalleled and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend to all climbers looking to camp around Holy Boulders, the supply of water and firewood was more than we could have asked for! P.S. the nearby wine is great too!

We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing stay at WTW during my Spring Break. The space was very well maintained and Jon was a stellar host making sure we had everything we needed. We loved the bocce ball court and the silo gazebo was a really cool touch. We’re looking forward to bringing our family back with us soon.

The campsites are spacious and spread out. You can see other campers, but at a distance. Jon is a very good host. I look forward to visiting here again, surrounded by the Shawnee National Forest.

Jon is a wonderful host! He met us at the house and led us to our beautiful remote spot. Camp sites are spaced very far apart so you have privacy. Jon had the fire kindling was in the firepit ready to start with a generous supply of firewood and had wonderful drinking water available. I wish we could have stayed longer to hike the woods and enjoy the wineries close by. Will surely be back!

This is my second time camping at Wine Trail Wilderness. It was perfect. Jon is an amazing host and his camp is on a beautiful field at the highest elevation in the area. The surrounding area is loaded with attractions and scenery. I will be back again next year.

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness
It was a very beautiful site. We stayed near the Grainzebo. Plenty of electrical outlets, beautiful soft lighting, and plenty of firewood to keep us warm. Bocce Ball setup next to the Grainzebo would make plenty of fun with family and friends. Bathroom was extremely clean! Best camping bathroom compared to many others by far!
