Welcome to Bear Bottom Ranch! Our entrance is marked by 2 cross crossed American flags. Come and enjoy our 32 acres of wooded property where a creek runs through. We have gorgeous oak trees and walnut trees all throughout the property. If you looking for a private camping experience, this place is for you. We usually have a couple horses on the property and I have 3 unleashed dogs that are friendly with people and dogs. We will be at the top of the property. We hope you’ll enjoy our place!

An hour from Chicago, this campsite is a peaceful and secluded retreat. Visitors appreciate the privacy of the sites, often not encountering other campers. The creek and trees provide a serene backdrop, although occasional noise from nearby roads is noted. While most reviews are positive, some mention issues with accessibility and communication with the host.

Meredith’s land is beautiful and peaceful. Campsite 2 was quiet and located next to a creek and trees where you can enjoy the soothing sounds of running water and birdsongs. The fire ring was large and well-placed, and the picnic table was clean and well-maintained. The toilet box was also clean. Firewood is available throughout the site. A great spot and great host with ontime communication.

Bear Bottom Ranch is Amazing!
What a beautiful property!! It was the perfect setting, the leaves changing and it was perfect! We walked the horse trails, saw the horses and truly enjoyed our camp out. Meredith and her hubby took super great care to have the amenities as listed. They brought their travel camper down to the site because the john was out of commission. I thought that went way above and beyond as hosts! We would recommend this site to anyone wanting peace and quiet. Everything was perfect!

This is a beautiful spot! The old growth oak trees are majestic and there are places to explore with little ones and good hikes a short drive away.
