Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at some sites.
This is an 82 acre property of approximately 65 percent old growth forest, 20 percent row crop and 15 percent of alfalfa/vegetable garden. It is a working farm which naturally takes people, but it is unlikely you will encounter any other campers. Please keep in mind, the only running water is the creek and the only electricity comes from a single solar panel. We truck water in for showers and provide enough port-a-potties to match the event.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 53 ft
Perfect for those who just want to pitch a tent for the night or host a picnic during the day. There is a well-maintained port-a-potty and an open-air shower. You're free to explore all 82 acres, dangle your feet in the creek, sunbathe. A popular stop with cyclists, it's called Ghost because outside of a couple grocery bags of trash in the metal can, we don't expect to even know you were there. A lot of our Ghost-guests are cross-country travelers, looking for a short notice availability at the end of the day, and they are gone at dawn. Figure $35 for the first vehicle/tent, and $15 per additional.

Events, Concerts and Festivals

RV/tent site · Sleeps 99 · Vehicles under 53 ft
We've hosted groups up to 150 and could easily handle twice that amount. Most of our promotors have done this before and have a pretty good idea about what they want. We can assist with local knowledge. There is a natural amphitheater for concerts. We can arrange for a generator or catering. Tenting for groups up to 250, monster wall of sound, fireworks displays, video/drone event coverage, bodyguards, we've done all that. We have a deep bench of resources in the community and we're glad to share them. Terms to be arranged.

Conx7

Van/bus · Sleeps 8 · 1 bed · 1 toilet
Access to ConX7 starts at $100 Are you hosting a small group and you want a weather-secure space? Container Experiment No.7 (Conx7), is a forty-foot, high-cube intermodal container. It was built in China, carried one load of tires and has been adapted as a multi-use hospitality property. It’s camping... in a tent made of cor‑ten steel. Conx7 is off the grid, enough solar power to charge devices and LED illumination after dark. Not enough for hair dryers. A day watching thunderstorms with friends from inside ConX7 is a comfortable and pleasant experience. After dark, the container is a nightlight and an HQ for the party.

Very primitive - would recommend choosing BLM land in the area instead, as you’ll get about the same accommodation for free!

Beautiful, peaceful property. Clean porto-potty & cold water shower (which we didn't use). We were traveling on motorcycles & tent camping. This area was perfect for us. We meet Uncle Lar & learned some history of the property. There was a train horn occasionally. We would stay again if traveling near by.

My family and I wanted to go camping over the Fourth of July weekend. Normally, since we didn't enjoy crowded, busy campgrounds, that would have been a no-go for us. But I randomly stumbled on this place, realized it's within 30 minutes of several places in the quad cities that we enjoy, and I was sold! You truly get the whole place to yourself. Peaceful, relaxing, the stars shine bright at night!! There's spaces for the kids to explore, and our dog was happy to run and sniff around. Bonus, the port-a-potty was sparkling clean. Thank you--would camp again!!
