Rancho Del Comienzo is located at the intersection of Somonauk Creek and the Fox River. 150+ years ago, it was a commonly used Native American encampment. Now it is the site fo Rancho Del Comienzo Hay and Horses. We ask that if you find an arrowhead that you respect the land and leave it where it lays.
Somonauk Creek is a known spawning ground of musky and other Illinois river fish. There is access to both the Fox River and Somonauk Creek for kayaking, canoeing, fishing and other water-activities!

Beautiful spot! Tucked away but very plenty of space. We caught about 10 fish in 2 days from bass to catfish! Highly recommend bringing a wagon for your camping gear as it is a short hike. Will definitely book this spot again!
This site is LOVELY. Creek is beautiful, horses are stunning, and a Barred Owl calls overhead at night. Some noise from a bar across the river, but nothing overwhelming. Mike was very sweet and friendly and helpful. We saw Wild Turkeys in the morning and Red-tailed Hawk in the afternoon.
What a wonderful property. We camped by the creek for a long weekend and it was gorgeous land and very private. We had tons of room to spread out. We had 2 tents and could have fit several more. Creek was very clear & refreshing, ankle to knee deep. I definitely recommend bringing a wagon as you have a short hike in to the campsite. Hosts were both delightfully kind and extremely helpful & immediately responsive. We purchased firewood and they brought it down for us. 10/10 stars!!!!
First, Mike and Taylor are great and we’re very communicative and friendly. It was nice to get to chat with Mike when he dropped off firewood.
The farm is really nice and the horses you’ll see on the way to the campsite are friendly and beautiful.
The campsite is perfect. There are a bunch of trees for nice shade and hanging a hammock and/or clothes line. The ground is soft and sandy. The fire pit is large and had stumps to hold up a metal grate to help with cooking.
The creek is the star of the campsite and is where we spent much of our time. The heat index was high during our stay, so we sat and laid in the creek for hours.
I recommend buying firewood for Mike and Taylor as the site is a short hike from where you’ll park. We also brought a collapsible wagon to help haul our gear, which helped a ton.
I can’t stress how nice this experience was and hope to visit again soon.
Great hosts and site - I stayed at the creek site. A little loud at night from the bar across the Fox River. Thanks Taylor and Mike!
Great private wooded spot! Hearing the creek and the horses was really relaxing, easy drive from Chicago and close to a small town if anything was forgotten.
Great spot next to a creek. Close to local attractions but totally secluded. Would definitely return!
Great communication by hosts, perfect camping spot just as described.
Lovely property. Hosts were very welcoming and assisted with transport of some of my mothers unnecessary glamp gear.
Be sure to print out directions as times there was no signal in the area and when there was a signal GPS sends you elsewhere.
It was also a pleasure to meet other campers although our sites where no where near one another.
