Creek Campsite - Rancho Comienzo
Creekside
We enjoyed the campsite on the creek's edge, it's a pleasant green glade with plenty of space, and very private. The creek running by adds a lot, and when things quiet down at night you can hear the water running softly by. We met might when we arrived and he was very friendly and helpful with directions for getting to the site on foot from the parking spot. We would definitely camp here again.

Big thanks to Mike and Taylor for their hospitality! We had a great time at this beautiful, quiet site. Our two little kids loved playing in the creek and seeing the horses on our walk to the site. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

We had a nice time in a secluded campsite. The creek was a nice touch along with the horses that were nearby. A great spot for a short get away.

Beautiful campsite on the River.
Mike and Taylor's property is beautiful. The walk down to the campsite is about 0.5 miles and is quite picturesque. There are fields, trees, and horses along the path. The campsite is right on the river with a fire pit and a metal stand for you to use. We would happily return.

Awesome tree shaded site next to a creek. Kids loved playing in the water and saying hi to the horses. Having room for a wagon to haul our gear to the campsite was clutch. Will definitely go back!

Creek Campsite - Rancho Comienzo
We loved this tent site! It was exactly what we were looking for, surrounded by the trees, secluded, no other campers around and the creek right there just a few steps away!!! My kids and pup had a blast playing in the creek and the site has plenty of room to run. I would definitely recommend and return, thanks for sharing such a great spot!

The weather didn’t cooperate for us and we weren’t able to stay the night but Mike and Taylor went out of their way to refund our stay without even being asked. Would love to come back sometime and meet these wonderful folks.

This is a a large, private area off of a horse farm in a small clearing. It has a great fire pit, is pretty private, has a lovely stream and very spacious. Strongly recommended.

Creek Campsite - Rancho Comienzo
A terrific spot right next to the creek. We were only there one night so we didn’t explore much, but the site itself was lovely. The sunset was perfect through the trees and the water was clear. Mike and Taylor were friendly and willing to bring firewood out to us and cardboard to get it going since it had been raining. Overall, a great experience for a last-minute camping trip. Thanks Mike and Taylor!

So awesome. Loved it. Nice and clean, (keep it that way people!), hospitable hosts, no bugs really bothered me despite being paranoid from the one review that mentioned ticks, just beautiful!

Beautiful spot! Tucked away but very plenty of space. We caught about 10 fish in 2 days from bass to catfish! Highly recommend bringing a wagon for your camping gear as it is a short hike. Will definitely book this spot again!

Gorgeous Creek, Birds and Camping
This site is LOVELY. Creek is beautiful, horses are stunning, and a Barred Owl calls overhead at night. Some noise from a bar across the river, but nothing overwhelming. Mike was very sweet and friendly and helpful. We saw Wild Turkeys in the morning and Red-tailed Hawk in the afternoon.

Gorgeous private creek side camping
What a wonderful property. We camped by the creek for a long weekend and it was gorgeous land and very private. We had tons of room to spread out. We had 2 tents and could have fit several more. Creek was very clear & refreshing, ankle to knee deep. I definitely recommend bringing a wagon as you have a short hike in to the campsite. Hosts were both delightfully kind and extremely helpful & immediately responsive. We purchased firewood and they brought it down for us. 10/10 stars!!!!

Creek Campsite - Rancho Comienzo
This place creeks my language.
First, Mike and Taylor are great and we’re very communicative and friendly. It was nice to get to chat with Mike when he dropped off firewood.
The farm is really nice and the horses you’ll see on the way to the campsite are friendly and beautiful.
The campsite is perfect. There are a bunch of trees for nice shade and hanging a hammock and/or clothes line. The ground is soft and sandy. The fire pit is large and had stumps to hold up a metal grate to help with cooking.
The creek is the star of the campsite and is where we spent much of our time. The heat index was high during our stay, so we sat and laid in the creek for hours.
I recommend buying firewood for Mike and Taylor as the site is a short hike from where you’ll park. We also brought a collapsible wagon to help haul our gear, which helped a ton.
I can’t stress how nice this experience was and hope to visit again soon.

Be prepared to walk through a tall grass prairie, It was a bit of a walk to campsite from car with all of our belongings, other than that, it was great.

Camping Trial Run Successful
We had an awesome stay here. I was taking my girlfriend (city girl from Chicago) for a trial camping run. Caught her looking at camping gear websites on her phone the day after, so we will be returning.
The river and property were beautiful. It was insane to see a sky so full of stars so close to the city (1.5 hr drive), we even saw multiple shooting stars.
10/10 go on a staycation.

Great!
Great hosts and site - I stayed at the creek site. A little loud at night from the bar across the Fox River. Thanks Taylor and Mike!

We really enjoyed a weekend of group camping by the river here! We celebrated a big birthday and appreciated being able to bring more than 8 people—the hosts were kindly accommodating with easy and clear communication.
The walk to the site was definitely long but manageable with the cart we brought. It would have been much easier if the grass were more recently mowed (it was mid-calf length), however this was our only concern/complaint all weekend. Everything else was perfect!
There is currently much more brush/overgrowth behind the fire ring/camp area compared to the posted photos, and we loved this because it felt very private. There were a lot of tubers floating on the water Saturday and Sunday but we never felt exposed at all because of the setting. The views inland look over a field with woods behind and are lovely. Lots of wildflowers, birds and birdsongs. You can’t really see the horses or the main buildings from the campsite. There are definitely also lots of ticks, so recommend to plan accordingly with good repellent!
Thank you to our hosts for a great camping weekend!!

Great private wooded spot! Hearing the creek and the horses was really relaxing, easy drive from Chicago and close to a small town if anything was forgotten.

Fox River Landing - Rancho Comienzo
Long difficult hike. Beautiful site
I would give a great review. The campsite is gorgeous. Downside it's a half mile hike both ways to the campsite. So with your gear if you have to take multiple trips it's quite a hike and can be very inconvenient. Also they do not bring the canoe to the river. If you rent the canoe you have to carry the canoe a half mile both ways to the campsite. Other than that it was a great time.

Lovely property. Hosts were very welcoming and assisted with transport of some of my mothers unnecessary glamp gear.
Be sure to print out directions as times there was no signal in the area and when there was a signal GPS sends you elsewhere.
It was also a pleasure to meet other campers although our sites where no where near one another.

The location we stayed at was beautiful and scenic, a path back to nature. Just be careful not to bring to much, because it's a nice hike back to your vehicle. Our host was gracious and accommodating.
