Site 3 - Gun Smoke Ranch
Great convenient location. Very private. John the host was super nice and gave us travel suggestions. Didn’t use their camper toilet, so no input on that. The site could be tidied a bit (worn out lawn chair, cable spools in our site) to make it more attractive. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Happy camping.
We enjoyed our stay at Gun Smoke Ranch. The camp grounds were well maintained and mowed. There were both Frisbee golf and a trampoline available, to entertain ourselves. John and his wife were super nice hosts. We recommend their Hipcamp to other campers as a great place to stay.

Gunsmoke ranch is awesome!
A great property about an hour away from Chicago with plenty of amenities for a comfortable stay. The directions are clear and the property is very nicely maintained. I enjoy coming here at least once a year and will definitely be back soon!

Quiet place near Chicago
Very peaceful and quiet place. Absolutely love it. John, the host, is super responsive, he provided us help and tips about what to do and see. My kids loved trampoline and disc golf. The camp is around 1 hour away from busy Chicago downtown. We will definitely recommend this camp to our friends.

I had a wonderful tent camping experience on John’s land! The site is easy to find and very well kept. John is super accommodating, kind, and available for anything you need. Cannot recommend this site enough. Hopefully I can stay here again some time!

Love it here
Our second time here. Camp sites are clean and private, a good 400’ behind the main house. Fire wood is right there 15 feet from the fire pit making starting a fire super easy. The gun range is a perfect activity to keep everyone busy! John is super nice and accommodating.
