Pond Ridge Adventure
We had a great time during our stay. Aside from watching the eclipse, we took so walks on the property. The crowd was busy for the eclipse weekend,, I would recommend a visit during a normal weekend, as the property is close to many beautiful hikes. Host was welcoming and accommodating

We had a great time watching that eclipse at this campsite. David and his friends were very accommodating. Would recommend his field in anytime.

I was worried it was going to be packed for the eclipse, it was but there was plenty of room to be as close or as far from other campers as you liked. David and crew were friendly and helpful and helped make it a fantastic once in a lifetime experience.

Great rolling property with great drainage. David and his wife couldn’t be better hosts. Eclipsed our expectations.

David has a beautiful spot and worked hard to accommodate his guests. The only thing I had a concern about was the need for a better toilet to guest ratio. The two he had got pretty full! I also appreciated the shuttle into town for shopping and entertainment opportunities. Larry was awesome! I would definitely camp here again and will always remember my first total eclipse!

David did a great job with accommodating a very large group of campers for the eclipse. The location is also quite lovely, with the drive from Murphysboro (about a 15-20 minute distance out of town, very convenient) being an absolutely beautiful drive!

Easy to find! Dave's spot was spacious and well laid out. Dave had firewood for sale at a reasonable price and the ground was flat and debris free.

The campsite itself was great. The owner and his family were great and they had a bus taking people into town. Where we ran into a bit of trouble was that the two porta potties that were brought in for the event were very insufficient for the large number of people there. If there were four, this would have gone a bit better. Overall we’re happy and would visit again!

Dave was great - the weekend was great 😊 We stayed here for the Eclipse and he had a shuttle bus back and forth to town, firewood, water, a communal campfire, anything you’d need! Great spot, great host!! Would definitely recommend.

We had such an amazing camping experience on David’s property for the eclipse weekend! David and his wife were incredibly accommodating and kind. The area is perfect for tent camping and there’s plenty of space to walk around, as well as a trail to explore. If I ever need to come back to southern Il for a camping excursion I will definitely be checking back in here!

The host was very friendly and offered many services he didn't need to, water porta-potties even seemed to have a trash site thank you David

We went to David's land to enjoy the eclipse event , all the communication was easy and selection of the spot since we anticipated for the rest of the crowd , there is a shuttle that takes you to town and cheap wood to burn , definitely will come back for another trip

A fabulous place to see the eclipse - nice open area, beautiful rolling hills. Friendly hosts, coming by each to site to check on people and see if any firewood was needed... then they delivered it to your site!
Town was far enough away, but not too far if you forgot to bring something with you.
Even our cat, Sammy, 🐈 enjoyed camping here. 🏕

We stayed for the eclipse, so it was very busy but David was a great host and offered some extra amenities to keep everyone comfortable. We will definitely be back sometime to go hiking when it’s not so busy.

Super friendly folks who welcomed us and all the other eclipse chasers. They made sure everyone had firewood and glasses and even bus-rides into town, great hosts for such a great event. Thanks, and blessings to you and all the other people that showed up.

I enjoyed the stay on Dave's property.
It doesn't feel like you're in someone's backyard, it gives the full woods experience.
When I arrived finding Dave was easy enough, and he took me and my gf touring the sites on his quad. He shared some stories about his property and was friendly and welcoming.
I would definitely camp here again.
