Pasture Southeast
Mostly for primitive car camping
We didn't get a chance to camp here. The owner was friendly upon our arrival, which was immediately following heavy rain, hail, and a funnel cloud. We were also in the area during the time of the solar eclipse. When we went to pull into the "campground", my FWD camper van immediately got stuck in the mud. After several attempts to get out, we had to call a tow truck. We were advised to not camp in the area due to my heavy vehicle and FWD only. If you have an RV or other heavy vehicle and aren't able to get one of the "RV" spots, it may not be wise to stay here.

Pasture Southeast
Absolutely wonderful!
It's hard to imagine a more welcoming Hipcamp host. That's an understatement. It honestly felt like saying goodbye to family by the time we left after our 3 nights at the lovely farm for the 2024 eclipse. We tent camped in the Pasture Southeast. The pasture was huge, so even though there were about 20 or so other campers in the pasture for the eclipse, there was tons of space. The goats, chickens, and pigs were a delight. We were incredibly lucky to meet the newborn goat, Natalie, on her first day of life during the last day of our stay! The serenade of happy birds, including an owl, added even more peacefulness to the atmosphere. A thunderstorm brought quite a bit of rain that took a while to drain, so checking in with the host and scouting a route is a good idea after rain before driving in the pasture. My girlfriend reported noticing the train that runs through the nearby town at night, so earplugs might be helpful to light sleepers and those not used to train sounds. I'm not sure when or if I'll find myself back in this beautiful part of Illinois, but camping again at, or at least stopping by the farm for a visit would be on my to do list 100%. Thank you, Cheri and family for an absolutely wonderful experience!!

Solar Eclipse Camping with my boys
We camped on Cheri’s land for the total solar eclipse. I brought my two boys And had a wonderful time. Cheri was friendly and helpful. I’m so thankful that she opened up her property for solar eclipse travelers. I would definitely stay there again.

Cheri is a great host!! My partner and I drove into town to see the solar eclipse. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm the night made things muddy which led to some cars (including my friend’s) stuck. Cheri quickly referred then to some towing services and they were able to get them out pretty quickly. Other than that, there was plenty of space for setting up tent, and Cheri was kind enough to provide a in tour of her farmland, which included seeing an hour-old baby goat!!

Pasture Northeast
She had a great and helpful attitude to changing situations during my stay. They also let us meet some animals safely, which was super fun.

Eclipse camping with animals!
What a lovely place and wonderful host! It could not have been a better place to take in the Eclipse! The camping field was soft grass and the animals entertained my kids. Cheri was very kind and helpful (and also made some wicked good biscuits and cookies!). I can't mention enough how nice Cheri was and what a wonderful experience we had on her farm.
