Forest Hill Primitive Site
Great remote site. Make sure you have a wagon or lifted vehicle [4wd] the path there has some steep hills and can be slick if wet. Site is awesome great campfire set up and a nice rugged bathroom too. If you love the outdoors and aren't strictly a glamper this is a great location.

Forest Hill Primitive Site
It is very secluded, it really felt very private. Also the campsite is all set up, and Sean helped us carry our stuff over

This was our favorite Hipcamp experience to date! My husband, two young kids, & I had so much fun staying at the Cedar Ridge glamping site. The compost toilet, space heater (we rented from Sean and Danielle), sitting area, picnic table, etc. made for a perfect level of comfort to have young kids. There’s a small hike in, but we just loaded up our heavy duty wagon and brought everything in that way. We set up an additional cot, and found some trees perfect for hanging our hammocks and we felt right at home. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We also did the nearby Giant City Nature Trail (about 1 mile in length), but there were several other local options.

Cedar Ridge Glamping Site
Beautiful area and wonderful site. Sean and Danielle met us and guided us to our site, covered all the unique elements of the area and set us up for a great time. Would highly recommend staying here.

Sean and Danielle could not have been more welcoming to their Hipcamp site. They are lovely people and incredibly helpful. Cedar Ridge was the perfect glamping spot. This tent was roomy and comfortable and it slept 5 of us with lots of room to spare. There is a gorgeous, very large handmade picnic table and a fire ring surrounded by Adirondack chairs. All we had to do was light a match as the kindling and wood were in place and ready to go. There is a five minute walk to the campsite, but it is up and down and an uneven surface, so get there before sunset and wear sturdy shoes. The site was so comfortable that we barely left it despite plans to hike. The small town, Creal Springs, is five minutes away should you need anything and we were lucky enough to be there during their Wonder Waters Festival which as a treat. Sugar Creek Cafe is a must also.

Our family loved our trip! We cannot wait to come back! The glamping tent was so clean with an amazing ambiance. We loved exploring the trails and meeting the adorable farm animals. The morning light shined perfectly through the trees while enjoying our morning coffee. Our evening campfire was so enjoyable with their provided Adirondack chairs. The bed was very comfortable and we particularly enjoyed reading a book in the recliner. We are a family of 4and we fit more than comfortably in the spacious tent. Sean and Danielle have clearly put so much time and love into their farm and this beautiful space.

bf and i decided we wanted to get out for a weekend together to go hiking and sightseeing in southern il. we got down there a bit later than expected, but danielle met us at the head of the trail and guided us to our tent in the dark! trails to the tent are a bit hilly so i recommend packing pretty light. tent was very nice and spacious, fit us very comfortably! awaiting us inside was a little bucket of goodies (bug spray, weenie roasters, the necessities), and they had even offered a little fan to keep us from melting from the post rain & heatwave humidity combo. we fell asleep to rain on the tent. next day we went hiking (they offer exploring on part of the property as well!), cooked up some weenies and s'mores and called it a weekend. lovely time

We loved the Primitive Campsite hosted by Danielle and Sean! Danielle came and met us at our car in the dark and walked us up to the campsite and showed us around first thing which was so sweet. There’s a bunch of kittens around the farm and they are all so friendly! We stayed a night and did the horseback riding in the morning and Danielle is a superb instructor and very knowledgeable about horses and her art. We didn’t get the opportunity to use both horseback riding lessons since we were there in a heat wave and didn’t want to overwork the horse, and Danielle was super awesome about giving us a refill for the time not used. Overall, great stay, would recommend!

Forest Hill Primitive Site
I was greeted by Danielle who was very friendly and kind. The site was quiet and a nice walk from the car. I was very impressed with the bell tent! It was decorated with soft lights, and had a very calming feel. The spacd was large and very clean, with lots of pilows and blankets. It thunderstormed all night, and I was grateful to be safe and dry in the bell tent.

This was a great experience. The tent was large and decorated very well. The lighting inside was great. For the most part, the lighting was almost romantic, but they had a lamp that lighted the tent up to the point that reading was easy (I have a Kindle that is back-lit, so that wasn't an issue - I opted for the softer, romantic setting). The furniture was great. They have a recliner which is very comfortable, and the futon bed was excellent for me (I was told this was going to be upgraded). The tent is well ventilated and shaded, so the heat of the day quickly evaporated at night when it got cooler. I had no issues with bugs, but you must keep the door zipped when you are out. There is some outside noise (dogs barking and cars in the distance), but the natural fauna make enough noise to block it out and make it easy to fall asleep (I fell asleep to the sounds of frogs, locust, and crickets, and woke to song birds). The trails are new and not extesive, but wide and accessible. A mountain bike would be great there. When I was there, the outside of the camp was being developed. There is a nice fire pit with a "picnic" area in the works (I saw the progress made in my two day stay, and believe it will be finished inside of a week). There are also numerous outdoor activities just minutes away in the Shawnee National Forest. The hosts were great. I have never been clamping before, but, as I said, this was a great experience and I recommend this spot.
