This property is located on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Huntley. It is only an hour west of Chicago. Our ducks, geese, turkeys and chickens will visit you, and you'll see likely see deer, raccoon, opossum, wild turkey, sandhill cranes, falcons, hawks, woodpeckers, coyotes and cardinals, all right from your seat in the backyard. What to do here: Hike all over our six acres of wooded countryside and nearby forest preserves and conservation district parks. If relaxation is your goal, order breakfast from our menu and skip the cooking. Downtown Huntley hosts an assortment of festivals, free concerts, and celebrations throughout the year. The Farmer's Market and antique shops are worth the visit. The Illinois Railway Museum, within 10 miles, is the largest railway museum in the United States. Enthusiasts come from all over to ride on steam, diesel, and electric trains. Kids love Thomas the train and Percy too! When you're ready for a faster pace, head into Chicago, where the city offers unlimited attractions, museums, and amazing restaurants. We do not have full electric and water sites available.

The Mighty Oak Tree

Delightful, peaceful, private

Dave’s place was a truly wonderful and peaceful retreat! He was very responsive to messages and calls, met us at the top of the driveway, and helped us pick the best spot for our small rig. We pulled our squaredrop camper to a site by the creek/drainage culvert and it was perfectly dry and grassy. Sounds of birds calls, woodpeckers and bright sunshine greeted us early in the morning. The ducks, geese and turkeys all waddled over to our site, very curious and eager to be fed but the sight of our golden retriever diverted them 😂. Our fire ring was all perfectly ready for some tinder and a spark, and there was plenty of downed wood and stacks of dry firewood to last the entire evening, with lots and lots to spare. The huge oak and hickory trees provide endless firewood. The sky was dark with very little light pollution, and the area felt VERY private and quiet despite two other truck campers down by the field. There is *some* noise from the nearby road but it was dull and not constant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

From the front it's conventional lodging, but the Hipcamps out back are really pretty. Communication was great, and the hosts gave us some fresh muffins in the morning. Can't guarantee that always happens. :-)
