Our location is Northern Illinois's best kept secret. Conveniently located 4 miles East of I90/39 and one mile South of the Illinois/Wisconsin border. We're about an hour from the Chicago Suburbs, 30 minutes from Lake Geneva, 45 minutes from Madison, and 60 minutes from Milwaukee. Our rural setting is a great place to relax, bicycle on back country roads, visit local wineries. Be sure to stop back for a visit to enjoy our fresh picked sweet corn & Honeycrisp apples in season. The camping area, orchard, and sweet corn field is located next to an open pasture for our horses. If you're looking for a peaceful place to pitch a tent or park your camper...this would be it.

Super easy access from Chicago, but felt worlds away. Brian has created such a great sanctuary. Will be returning soon.

A very en-lighting stay!
We endured a down pour of rain and the grounds did not flood. It was our second time there and our host Brian and Carol are the most gracious people we've met in a very long time. They have a way of making you feel like family. I would recommend this camp site without any reservations.

Great Experience
This was our second trip to Papas Sweet Corn Patch ~ the Host Brian and his Wife are the nicest people you could ever meet, and we now call them our Friends. We went horse back riding ~ ate the BEST corn ever and drank the best tasting Apple Juicee liqueur. We will be back, our plan is to attend ever other weekend and we will encourage others to attend. I Love Horse back riding !!!!

Absolutely loved staying here! It was so quiet, has a lot of trees to hang a hammock on, and camping next to a small orchard and some corn fields was so relaxing. There was even a little primitive bathroom and hose to rinse off if you need it. For someone who is used to camping miles into the woods with no sign of civilization, this felt like glamping but it was absolutely wonderful. The site is just minutes from town but the quiet makes you feel so much farther. The host was so kind and even gave me some fresh picked sweet corn which was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this to anyone!

Brian and Chris were lovely!! The campsite is off their farm, where they grow apples and corn and raise horses. It’s nice to walk through the orchard and see the horses. They shared corn with us for our dinner which was so sweet. There was only one other group when we camped, so it felt quiet and secluded, but if all sites were rented, it may be a bit crowded. All around, we had a great experience and hope to be back!

Lovely, Beautiful, Serene
We loved our stay here! Brian and his wife were so sweet and accommodating. We pitched our tent, not where you see most of the photos with the fallen tree, but back behind the last row of Apple trees. We pulled the picnic table into the Apple orchard and grilled the delicious sweet corn given to us by Brian from his farm. There were three other families camping in that main area by the tree, but we had our own private nook which was perfect for us. I felt like we were camping in a vineyard, it was lovely. Surrounding farm land and nearby cemetery was also so pretty.
