4 acres hosted by Matthew L.

1 RV/tent site

Off-leash friendly

Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.

4 acres right on the creek when the water is low there is a huge beach you can even camp on don't worry about getting wet or using the beach that's all included. You can bring down your ATVs, go carts, dirt bikes ect for riding around the campground kiddy trails if you look in the "Extras" section it's only 5 dollars per vehicle. You can fish the creek there are some deep holes on some bends and near the far bank that a good fisher can spot right away. There is a big fire pit and ring usually there is enough wood around the property to get a fire going(unless everything is soaked from rain). I added a big charcoal grill, a hammock and another table by the fire pit as well (3 all together). There is a rented porta potty by the fire pit area. There is a gravel parking spot just off the road (you will see our "Camp here with HipCamp" sign) that has enough room for 5 cars or so and you can park in the grass along the edge of the property by the road. **NEW AS OF 9/20/24** You can now drive down on to the property thru the access path north of the gravel parking area there is enough room to drive a truck and trailer and turn around down there. When it is wet the drive in is not rocked yet so just keep that in mind(i just started rocking in the drive this year 2025).**New as of 2025** i hired a mowing service and the campground main areas will be mowed weekly untill October. Sometimes the cars on the road can be loud at night but that's about all you gotta worry about on the wooded area but It is much quieter if you camp on the beach you can't hear the cars just loud frogs and bugs much nicer if you get the chance to camp down there. Have Fun!4 acres right on the creek when the water is low there is a huge beach you can even camp on don't worry about getting wet or using the beach that's all included.

Isolated and beautiful for being close to town. Also being able to ride my dirtbike made it definitely worthwhile.

We immediately felt teleported to another region as we drove down to the water. The scenery was beautiful and where we set up was perfect. The rockhunting was fun and watching the belted kingfishers were an absolute delight! This was an awesome campsite!

We really enjoyed camping here! It was close to our family and not far from any attractions. I would of liked running water and at least a portta potty for a bathroom. Also there were tree stumps that we hit once because they weren't cut down all the way. Other than that it was a nice leveled area, bugs weren't bad and the picnic tables and fire pit were super convenient!

I loved camping at Kickapoo Creek Getaway! The location was easy to find and very well marked with a HipCamp sign. The site is a beautiful piece of nature within the city so you do hear cars going by, truck horns, and a train passed by once or twice. It's along the creek and it was low enough we were able to set up our tent down there. Definitely recommend!

Park right off the road near the hipcamp barcode sign. Killer agates and Jasper in the river shoals. Convenient to Peoria (check out the Riverwalk market).

Right next to a road but there is enough privacy to make it feel safe instead of annoying. We ended up camping on one of the wider paths under a mulberry tree and got to eat the berries that dropped on us the next morning :) Only had to talk to two girls who attempted to cut through the site to get to the creek but they were super friendly and understanding.
