Durbin's Barn at Camp Ondessonk
The staff at camp Ondessonk were beyond accommodating and they even went out of their way to make sure that I had the proper accommodation for my trip even though I was getting there after hours.

Durbin's Barn at Camp Ondessonk
All Around Outstanding Host & Site
Durbin's Barn was the perfect site for our weekend getaway to celebrate 7 years together! The forecast called for rain & colder weather. We were able to get out & explore the nearby trails before the rain settled in. Trails were well marked & maintained. There was a very cool trail along the bluffs above a waterfall less than a 20-minute hike from our campsite. It was so peaceful, secluded, & serene - just the type of atmosphere to get away from the distraction of our daily responsibilities & reconnect with one another. We were also able to visit a few of our other favorite So. IL places - Vienna, Dixon Springs State Park, The Chocolate Factory, & Shotgun Eddy's. All within 20-30 minute drive from our site. We were also a short drive from Bell Smith Springs, Fern Cliffe, Burden Falls, & Jackson Falls - to name a few. The barn kept us warm & dry. We set up our tent and hammock in the loft & listened to the rain on the tin roof as we slept snugly under our mountain of covers. When we first arrived at the barn there were about a million unwanted guests flying & crawling on the walls - Japanese Beetles. LoL. But we just stayed outdoors next to the fire pit until the sun went down & the full moon crested above the treeline. When it was time to retreat to the tent, the buggy invasion had dispersed & all was clear. My car got stuck in the mud as we were leaving but a quick text to the camp staff & we were on the road only 40mins later. Now that's service! We will definitely be back!

Kane Lake at Camp Ondessonk
Great catholic camp. Beautiful setting in a valley. The staff (chris) was extremely helpful and got me to Kane lake which I had to myself. Was a beautiful evening and I would definitely go back again if I am in the area.

Kane Lake at Camp Ondessonk
Very private location with clear directions. I arrived late in the evening and the person on call came to open the gate for me fairly quickly.

Durbin's Barn at Camp Ondessonk
What a peaceful retreat! We loved the close access to trails and wide open space for the kids to run and play, while being secluded and surrounded by natures beauty. This place is truly a gem. We arrived just before a day and a half of rain and were so grateful for the large dry space to stay out of the rain. The host was very responsive and helpful, and ensured a comfortable stay. Highly recommend a stay at Durbin’s barn!
