Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

Our experience at Wine Trail Wilderness was great despite plunging temperatures this past weekend. The roomy site allowed for our 2 young dogs to zoom around the field and the pavilion and outhouse were experiences of themselves. Jon was a great host and fun to talk to when he was walking his dog Norton. The location between 2 of our favorite wineries was a bonus. The scenery with the fall colors was beautiful to see. We can’t wait to come back. Becky and Wilson

it is probably a great site to camp on. i never got the chance, i called left message that i had broken down along the way and needed to cancel. i think i tried to email them as well, but my cell service was intermittent from where i was at. i requested a refund as i couldn’t make the stay. left my info, and number/site. never heard back from them. so i ended up wasting $175 (three nights-weekend). i still haven’t heard much from them.

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

The area was very accessible and was set up in a really nice convenient way. Jon met us at the driveway, greeted us with a warm smile and helped us get our water situated. After that he assisted me getting the trailer leveled and ready to go and made sure we had firewood. On Saturday, he came and checked on us and he's an incredible host and this was one of the best trips we had. Being within walking distance of a winery and a very short drive to another one is amazing and it was so quiet. And for the record I've never seen anybody have a better portable toilet outside than at Jon's property (Plus the bocce ball court was amazing and we had a great time playing with some people we met there as well this weekend). Suffice to say, we will definitely come back and visit Jon again and for anybody who may want a really great camping experience there is none better than what Jon provides.

Nice, quiet (not crowded) farm atmosphere and a great place to rockhound with other places to go rock collecting nearby. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go through the 50+ pounds of really nice druzy quartz I’m bringing home.

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

Enjoyed my RV stay and our host’s hospitality. Jon was a great host who is working hard to make his property a nice place for guests. Well located to explore the Wine trial or western Shawnee hiking/biking.

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

Jon really went to great lengths to make Wild Trail Wilderness a great camping experience. It's a beautiful property, nestled between 2 wineries, and close to the Little Grand Canyon hiking trail. This was our first time using Hipcamp and Jon set the bar very high for those that will follow. He is now the yardstick by which all others will be measured. We plan on going back.

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

Jon's Hipcamp is quite simply, fantastic. This is our 4th trip to Wine Trail Wilderness (we go every year), and it's a great time every time. Jon's space is well kept, easy to find, and has just the right amount of amenities to escape into nature. Being walking distance from Hickory Ridge Winery is the icing on the cake! thanks again, Jon!

2 nights at Wine Trail Wilderness

Everything was excellent from the personal guidance by Jon as to where we should park to the walkability to and friendliness of the winery staff. It’s a lovely small community where neighbor really means neighborly.

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

This was the perfect spot for exploring the nearby trails and wineries! Jon met us in person and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The location is beautiful and it was easy to find. The overall vibe is cool and relaxing so it's a nice place to chill after the day's activities. The decor was quirky and interesting, including in the immaculate restroom. We would definitely recommend a stay here to anyone looking to explore the area. You won't find a more friendly and convenient place!

Weekend Trip to Wine Trail Wilderness

Between the hospitality and the amenities, we felt quite spoiled and taken care of by Jon and Carla. To the point that we now have a much higher standard of what we want from a Hipcamp. Upon arrival, Jon escorted us to our site. We paid him for a bottle from the winery that’s practically next door. We had selected it before arrival, and they picked it up for us. Jon showed us around the grainzebo, which had a gas grill, picnic table and a big cooler full of cold water from their well. There’s also a bocce ball court, and the bathroom has a composting toilet and outdoor sink. This place has so much personality and is in such a great location. We went to the natural bridge in Shawnee National Forest, Scratch Brewing in Ava and Cold Blooded Coffee in Murphysboro. We’re excited to go back to see more of the forest, including the Little Grand Canyon, and check out some of the many wineries. Thank you, Jon and Carla, for the care you put into your outstanding Hipcamp.
