Linden Camprground

Awesome Place!!! The Lindens went above and beyond for us during our stay!!! Great views. tons of wildlife from birds to turkeys and deer. Great rails in the hills with some benched at the top to take in the view at the summit. Swim, fish, campfires. They have fresh eggs and firewood. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway and so close to tons of parks and Galena etc. Thanks for the hospitality!!

We had a wonderful time. The cows greeted us every morning, and the breeze at the top of the hill was great. The space is scenic, well-kept, and has good accommodations.

This property is absolutely beautiful! It was so peaceful, plus you got to experience staying on a farm. The area is amazing I couldn’t believe it was Illinois!

Good campground

It's a smaller campground. There's a town 5 min away so if you need stuff, it's easy to get to. Liked the pond. Our spot was difficult to back into. We liked stating there. There isn't much shade so plan accordingly.

Been here twice. Thank you for letting us stay. Nice place that is well taken care of. Unfortunately we will not be coming back as this year wasnt the same. There's a family living in between all the sites so they say quiet time is at 10 but the paper in the bathroom says 11. Which okay understandable for quiet time but we had a big family with about 15 kids and the point of us taking our camping trip is to relax, have fun and NOT have a quiet or bedtime for our kids on a weekend. We just wanted to have a good time. If I would of known this before, we wouldn't have booked here. I honestly don't think they should be renting this place with the rules they've put in place. I understand there's now rules because of the family that lives there but it just isnt fair to us that are paying our hard working money to enjoy our time and we cant fully do that. There are all type of campers, loud, not loud, big and small groups. We are a big group but also respectful. We love to have a great time as a family, especially on our yearly family camping trip but unfortunately this is not the place to be 100% comfortable. Also, Ann the owner, I understand if people leave their stuff in the bathroom & putting it aside on the table or chair you provide for space. Instead grabbing everything & putting it on the floor is disgusting. Kids towels and loofahs on the floor. It would of been nice to be told before and we go get them ourselves. Unprofessional & disrespectful. Kevin the husband was great!

Wonderful spot!

25 ft pop-up camper · With pets ·

Love everything on site! The kids had an absolute blast at the beach and in the water and on the playground. Quiet and perfect for our family trip. We rented 3 spots due to 3 families coming but the spots are roomy and may have only needed 2. Firewood and eggs we ordered from here were waiting for us when we got there too. Would totally recommend and possibly go again. State park is a quick drive for.more places to explore :) Be careful to note - there is only a 50a power hookup - bring your own adapter if your camper is a 30a The hot water is rough in the shower. It was going from ice to burn back to ice. In the middle of that you would get about 5-10 seconds of warm but the cold was cold and the hot was a tad dangerous, especially for the kids. Flies!! Bring some sort of fly trap or tape for your camper. It is a farm after all and I'm used to bugs and skeeters while camping but dang I was not prepared for this. Doesn't change my opinion of how awesome it was, just letting yall know to be prepared.

A quiet and restful spot

Tent · With kids ·

We had a nice stay at this quiet and restful spot sitting on the top of a hill overlooking fields and gently rolling hills. The property was beautifully landscaped, and the pond was a hit, especially for the kids; they had hours of fun in the water.

We loved our campsite. Ann was a great host. The farm eggs were awesome. There was no shortage of things to do. There were a few hiking trails close by, we spent an afternoon in Galena but most of our time was spent swimming, fishing and catching frogs. This was a great trip and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful first time campsite!

Tent · With pets ·

Went tent camping for two nights for the first time since when I was a very young child, I hardly remember it, but this time was a wonderful experience! I'm so glad they allow dogs, as I could bring my two babies. They have a nice little pond where you can fish (I didn't catch anything, sadly, hahah) and you can also swim there! They had a nice little fountain on, too, on the hotter day, which was nice. They have a fire pit, a little park, and cows that seem to visit every morning on the other side of the fence! Such cuties! Anyways, great first time campsite! Hosts were so nice, too!

Awesome stay in a beautiful location. Everything in the listing is accurate. We were allowed to borrow a 50 to 30 amp adapter for power. Take advantage of the fresh eggs.

Camping here was very nice! I spent one night here and would definitely come back if I come back to Illinois! My camping spot was mowed short and the fire pit was ready for use! (Although I didn’t make a fire). The neighboring cattle were quite curious but stayed back from the fence line so it was fun to watch them! The bathroom was nice and clean and I was appreciative of the refreshing cold shower! The host, Ann, was very responsive and helpful!

This was our first time camping and we absolutely loved it! We stayed at Linden Campground and had the best experience. The place was super nice, clean, and peaceful. The owner was so friendly—we really enjoyed talking with her. She made us feel welcome right away. We’re already thinking about coming back. Thanks to Hipcamp for helping us find this hidden gem!

Worth going to without a doubt.

Second stay was absolutely awesome, host, site, facilities all well worth the trek. They are definitely putting alot of care in to this, what with all other things they have going on they make it work. Stayed at Plymouth rock with a tent, but had power and water worth buying a 50amp converter love their property they have a treasure spot.

So peaceful. Driving off the beaten path of small towns and rolling farms- picturesque! Stopped here for one night. It was great because in the hot of the day I was plugged in for ac and at night the cool breeze and starry sky was amazing. I would stay again. Hosts were very nice and it felt like I was a guest on their land- very welcoming.

Pros and Cons

Beautiful property, amazing views, stocked pond. A bit confusing to navigate, not very private. We had a nice couple days, no regrets, but probably won’t be back without a couple small changes/improvements.

Easy Does It Travel Trailer

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this place. We ordered farm eggs and firewood in advance. When we arrived at the campsite, Mr. Kevin had already prepared everything for us. Very beautiful location, there is a pond on the campsite where you can sunbathe and swim. Clean and comfortable shower and toilet. The campsite is also very clean. If you are looking for a campsite in this location, I recommend this farm. Thanks to Mr. Kevin for your hospitality!

The sites on Kevin's land were nice and large, plenty of room for two tents and our badminton net. The pond was great for swimming with two paddle boats available. The most memorable part was the free range chicken that kept visiting our site! Thanks Kevin!

Incredible experience

10 ft travel trailer · With kids ·

We had an incredible weekend here with our 5 year old. The sunsets were AMAZING and unforgettable! We fished in the pond catching tons of bluegill and sunfish, as well as a couple bass that my daughter was ecstatic about! The campground was clean, quiet, with free range chickens that stopped by our picnic table throughout the weekend hoping for some snacks. We even got to wake up one morning to see a mother cow feeding her calf right up close at the neighboring property. My daughter named the calf “Sapphire”. The bullfrogs called to each other at night and the night sky was filled with stars! The Thriving Thistle Market is less than 1 mile away for any last minute things we had forgotten, and we stopped there for a fantastic meal of smoothies and “Ferdie’s Flatbread’ appetizer. We hiked the “River Route” at nearby Apple River Canyon State Park where we saw no one else on the trail and waded in the gentle rapids at the end of the trail before turning back. The state park was a BEAUTIFUL place to hike! I highly recommend staying for at least 2 nights at Linden’s to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
