Wild Plum Hedge Campsite
Lots of space, peaceful and quiet, trails for hiking, lots of firewood to use on site, and a very responsive host. We loved it here, already planning a return trip!

Permaculture "Earth Shelter" Cabin
We had a great stay at CSC! Don’t forget to take your fishing rigs with you if you like fishing. Also, it was great that firewood was provided at the site. The cabin was really cozy, but if you want to sleep comfortably don’t forget to take a couple of pillows with you as well as blanket if it’s cold.

Great spot to getaway. So spacious and very accommodating with the picnic table, fire pit, grill cover, and trash cover. Good shade for the tent and saw an amazing sunset. Friendly folks and a great spot if you’re near Chicago!

Permaculture "Earth Shelter" Cabin
A Sound of Silence
This place is truly a sanctuary of the highest order, amidst the eden like natural beauty and silence. I have found it difficult to stay away from this particular place for inward purposes of deep healing. There is a truly conscious energy here, reflected in not only the land, but the people of the Stelle community. Immersion within this permaculture of an ancient perception to understand our relationship to all in existence, maintains the greatest pinnacle of what this place offers to an individual, or family;
Solitude. Depth. Gorgeousness and gorgeosity! describe the workings of pure creativity in this lands' being.
The big "dork" Heather (hehehe) is a formidable, amicable and all around lovely human being who is not only a dedicated gardener, but also, a dedicated host, and of course, mother.
This cabin, land and community are almost a perfect retreat for anyone looking for peace, solitude, and transcendence. Families are absolutely welcome, I might add. Beauty at it's finest!

The PERFECT Place to Unplug
A beautiful oasis! The stars are amazing at night, you just can't get views like that in the city. This was our family's first camping/cabin experience and it was perfect. Comfortable, rustic, relaxing, and the hosts were so warm and welcoming! Definitely coming back.

Quick overnighter
This was a great spot for a quick overnight get away. Host was very responsive and helpful (even helped coordinating a supply order from nearby farm). The other site was occupied but there is enough separation that we never noticed them (and hopefully reverse is true). Also far enough removed from the road so there wasn't any road noise. We weren't able to check out the dark-sky factor due to the overnight thunderstorm - we got a light show instead.

Had a perfect time!
Was a nice quiet spot with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Everyone was super friendly, the bathroom facilities were clean, and the goats were fun to talk to. If you enjoy bird-watching, you'll be delighted to see all the different birds that hang out in the surrounding trees. Would definitely recommend!

Permaculture "Earth Shelter" Cabin
Awesome place! I highly recommend. Very well maintained site. The cabin is beautiful. Perfect for a quiet getaway. And by quiet, I mean very quiet. The surrounding area is nothing but fields and windmills for miles. It's not as hard to find as I thought. They'll give you address that takes you to the entrance. There's a sign by the road with the hipcamp logo. Follow the drive to the cabin.

Very nice campsite! I had privacy, lots of firewood, water, and a grate. Megan even brought us some Asian pears and showed us to out parking spot and campsite. Friendly, clean, quiet, and a beautiful, dark night sky.

The sites are lovely and the hosts are excellent. The composting toilet is a wonderful feature and wood is provided each night of your stay (plus kindling). I would definitely recommend this site and will return.

When can I return?!
An absolutely dreamy stay at this cabin! From the thoughtful, engaging tour of the farm to the "golden hour" colors on the newly changing leaves to the morning fog over the pond as the sheep baaed in the distance, we had a wonderful time. We also scheduled ourselves so that we could participate in a volunteer work day the morning of our departure—a next-level opportunity to engage w the local community and hosts. Can't wait to visit again!

Great time
Loved our weekend here. The host provided plenty of firewood and even brought us over some fresh apples from the orchard and let us have some tomatoes from the garden as well. Extremely quiet location, clean, compost toilet was clean and tidy, beautiful wildlife and scenery, and the cabin was very clean and stayed very temperate even when the temperatures dropped down to the high 30s at night.

Second time visiting CSC this year and had a fantastic time. Campsite is clean, quiet and easy to access from parking. Kids loved climbing the apple trees and playing with the goats. Adults loved availability of dry firewood, composting toilet and improvements to the property between our visits. The view of the night sky was amazing! We hope to visit again soon.

Issues with the app/communication
I had to cancel the trip the morning of. My son was sick. I messaged the host and tried to cancel through the app but was unsuccessful. Don’t know if the host got my messages. No replies were received. Was still charged the full amount. A little disappointing.

We will definitely be back to CSC! It was an immaculate, beautiful clearing. They provided very thoughtful accommodations including seating, a picnic table, cooking water, dry newspaper, kindling and firewood. We made fast friends with the goats too. We highly recommend booking a site.

Amazing Nature, Beautiful Cabin
This was our second trip to the cabin and I think we enjoyed it even more this time. There is so much to explore on this property! We were lucky to be there for the migration of the Monarch butterflies this time!

Relaxation and learning ;)
We had a wonderful weekend tent camping at CSC Permaculture Project :) Recommend getting a tour of the land and pitching your tent NOT under an apple tree during late summer/autumn, lol. Also, if you have access to a telescope, borrow or bring one -- we were able to see the fully illuminated Harvest Moon and alignments of Jupiter and Saturn🤩. Big love and many thanks to Heather, William, Big Mama, and Buddy!

The space is a beautiful and well marked. The description given was very helpful, especially since we set up camp after dark. Our host was responsive, attentive, and a wealth of information during the tour of the permaculture sites of CSC. I hope to return!

Lookout below! Falling apples!
Great campsite. Our tent was pelted with apples falling from the trees all night long but that was just part of the fun!

It was nice and peaceful. The sky was so beautiful at night. The goats were friendly. We picked a couple of apples off the tree and fed it to them.

Awesome Camping Site:)
Great experience and easy to find! My dad and I did motorcycle trip to visit the Kilgus Farmstead in Fairbury. The permaculture site had good amenities very nice campsites. Great communication w/ provider and they were super helpful. Can't wait to go back and share the site w/ my wife sometime soon; maybe even book the tiny onsite cabin because it looked so cool and cute.

Wonderful Country Camping
We had a great weekend getaway. I counted at least 10 spots to hang a hammock, but I camped in a 2 person backpacking tent. Definitely want to keep shoes on, as the trees are all apples trees so there are apples falling. It didn’t bother me at all though! The paths are mowed grass, rec covered toes while exploring. The composting toilet has a light on the outside, bring your headlamp at night. My dog also had a great time.
NEARBY CAMPSITES: There was someone at the other camp site my first night, and someone at the earth shelter my second night. They are close but as long as you are being respectful it is fine. Both of my neighbors were quiet and I was when I wasn’t using a small Bluetooth speaker. You can hear the other sites, more or less depending on the nature noise. The sight lines are pretty good, i.e. you can see a bit of the other tent site.
EXPLORING THE LAND: If you explore the rest of the land, you do cross over the bridge/road, up past the goats, unless you want to cross the creek but it was pretty grown up. The goats are so friendly! Watch out for the fence! After the bridge, there’s a cute green building, with the plants for sale behind it. Lots of wildflowers! From my site the willow trees are kind of an indicator of where the earth shelter and pond are.
ADA NOTE: I bet a very sturdy wheelchair could access this site, weather permitting, other tent site might be better.
