33 acres hosted by Jarrod H.

Best in Illinois: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

Here's a refined version of the description for the Rockford Ski Club: Discover the Rockford Ski Club: Nestled on 33 acres of diverse landscape, the Rockford Ski Club offers a unique blend of prairie, forest, gardens, and open fields. The property is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, turkeys, and foxes, and leads directly to the Kishwaukee River—perfect for kayaking or canoeing adventures. Enjoy stunning views of the river valley from the camping field, and embrace the spirit of community that has made this cooperative club a local treasure for decades. Members continue to ski and sled here, keeping tradition alive. Conveniently located just off Interstate 39, the club is only a 10-15 minute drive from Rockford, with a gas station just half a mile away. Camping options are available for tents, cars, vans, campers, or RVs in our maintained grassy area. While there is a well for non-potable water (suitable for washing), we recommend bringing your own drinking water. Electricity is available for basic needs like charging phones or powering lights and small devices, but it is not sufficient for RVs. For more information, feel free to reach out to our club president, Steve, at (815)-979-4888.

Site A - Camp Site

We had a great time winter camping at the Rockford Ski Club. We spent some time in the club house, which is a rustic one-room building with a long picnic-style dining table and a little wood stove that kept us warm.

Site D - Camp Site

This campsite was a bit last minute and during the winter season but Jarrod was very accommodating and the site was beautiful at night with the stars. It was the perfect spot to stop during my travels and I highly recommend it!

The Cutest Little Cabin for 2

Site C - Rustic Cabin Site

This is the cutest little cabin for two people with beautiful hiking and river access. It was easy to find, navigate and get access. I’ll be returning.
