Spring Creek Farm, Illinois

Quiet country setting in the rolling hills of northwest Illinois. Dating from 1890, this land has never been plowed or disturbed. Beautiful nightscapes of stars and constellations and nearby lakes and rivers make this an ideal camping spot.

Lake Le-Aqua-Na is just 3 miles away, but closed until Spring of 2021 while renovations are completed by the State of Illinois. Other lakes nearby are Apple River Canyon with picnic sites and camping trails. Shop in nearby Lena, Cedarville or Freeport, IL and Monroe, Wisconsin.

The trees shade the camping sites at Spring Creek Farm. The wood swing can be enjoyed by guests as they relax and enjoy the view. Birds frequent the property and you may be visited by our ginger male cat as he surveys his territory. Night skies are beautiful, and on clear nights the Milky Way is visible along with the Big Dipper and other constellations.  

There is an outdoor fire pit to cook meals, or you can use a low copper fire pit for campfire enjoyment. Parking is available on the campground for smaller cars. Please leave your campsite clean so no woodland creatures are harmed and the landscape is kept in a safe condition for the next camper.

The Composting Toilet (weather permitting) is available and plenty of potable water from our Spring-fed Well.  The Pretty Potty is available but must be kept inside the tent; it is made of wood and has a metal pot for liquid waste. The outhouse is a short walk from the campground. The Pretty Potty is a convenience for guests with ambulatory difficulties. Please note; there is only one so first come first served. 

We recycle in the country so please separate trash, paper, glass, and plastic into separate bags which can be left on the driveway when you leave.

Please let Dr. Wanona know if you'd like to join for a gentle flow yoga mat class, 30 or 60-minute massage, or a Permaculture Garden Tour.  Add a deeper experience to your stay at Spring Creek Farm!
