This was one of the most beautiful campsites we’ve experienced. It was quiet. We were secluded. The view of the lake and the hills was mesmerizing. We got up just a little early to watch the sun come up. Katie was friendly and accommodating. Free Fire Wood - YAY! We will be back.

This stay was incredible! Tamitha and her husband were amazing and accommodating hosts. Their property was beautiful and the animals clearly well loved. Tamitha went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed and that my daughter had a wonderful experience (she was a big fan of the donkeys, especially Ernie). They also had a wonderful lake about a quarter mile away from them that was perfect for swimming my dogs. We will be back and wish we had more that a quick nights stop!

Weekend Trip to Railroad creek camp ground

Tent camping was great. beautiful creek. We took back two sites so we had plenty of room to spread out. Pit toilet is by the geode mine area so take the site before the bridge if that's important to you.

Weekend Trip to Railroad creek camp ground

Got there early and took the back two sites so tents were farthest back from the one other site in the vicinity and we used the fire and picnic table in the other one. The creek is beautiful and all solid rock in the creek bed so you can hunt for all kinds of cool fossils and geodes without getting muddy. The only pit toilet is up by the gate/entrance where the geode mine is so if you're thinking you want to be close than take the first site before the little bridge but be aware people showing up to the geode mine early in the morning might make noise with their pickaxes.

Weekend Trip to PeaceTree Farms

My husband I spent the weekend camping and fishing at PeaceTree Farms. The host, Katie, recommended Reflection Ridge and we loved it so much we’ve already booked a weekend next month to come back with a few friends. The fishing was fantastic.. In 24hrs and on the bank right below our site, I caught 9 REALLY nice sized catfish and 8 bass, and my husband caught 14 bass. No trouble with snags in the water which, let’s be honest, makes for a much more relaxing fishing experience lol. Our campsite was a very big area - peaceful, quiet, private, well kept. It came with a fire pit, picnic table, 2 benches, and they even provided free firewood. The lake view was beautiful and you can see so many stars out there. They have a couple canoes and a small boat you take out on the water as well. Showers and indoor toilets are available just a short drive away from the site, but there is also a porta potty a little closer. Cell reception (T-Mobile) was good, although the only time I used it was to send photos of the monster catfish I was catching :) This place makes it very easy to disconnect by choice. Katie was super friendly and showed us around a bit before taking us to our site. Their property really is stunning, you can tell it’s cared for with love. Highly recommend and we’re pumped to be going back in just a few weeks!

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Springs Campground And Pool

Site 6 was well shaded. The single bathroom/shower was a short walk from our campsite. The door is propped open so no code is needed. Friday night the campground was fairly deserted. It got more lively the next night! The mosquitoes were fairly aggressive until the breeze came up on Saturday. Unfortunately, the pool closed last weekend. I was glad we found that out when we called before we arrived. (We booked our site, #6 but the confirmation recorded it as #1 so we called to check on that and were told that it is a glitch but not to worry.). We appreciated the free firewood since the site is a bit more than we usually spend. There were street lights and cameras nearby. Disc golfers came through every so often. There was fairly regular foot and car traffic below our site. We explored Keokuk and Hamilton. Be sure to check out the view from Rand Park!

Wildcat City Park Campground is clean and well maintained. Did not have any issues. Other campers were courteous, no loud music/noise even with it being a holiday weekend. Some tree branches near drive need to be trimmed. Understand why the shorter hose on the dump station, but it could be a bit longer.

We loved our stay on Katie’s land! Katie was a wonderful host, she was so helpful and kind and made sure we knew where everything was on the property. We stayed over the 4th of July because we wanted to get our dog away from the city’s loud fireworks and Peacetree Farm was a perfect solution! We booked the reflection ridge campsite right next to the lake and the view was beautiful. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Springs Campground And Pool

We enjoyed our trip. Loved the walking trails, the park for the kids. Was disappointed that the pool was not accessible except 1 to 6 as we weren't able to utilize it at all. We booked site 3 but on our confirmation it said site 1, which was fine but thee were no other campers there so we were confused to why that occurred. Over a very nice area and we would visit again
