I grew up on a farm and thrilled to be enjoying country living once again! We are not annual campground, but we have space on the property for travelers needing an overnight or two. We can be found on HIPCAMP listed under OLD RUGGED BARN. We are in central IL near Historic Rt 66, minutes north of Bloomington-Normal with easy access from I-55. The property is a small 3.5 Acre farmstead that includes our event venue, space that can used for campers, and my home. We offer space for Campers through Hipcamp. We are NOT a campground per se. We do have space on our property to comfortably accommodate up to 8 spaces for Overnight guests. I moved to the farm in 2010 with the intent to simply enjoy the peace And quiet of country living. Then I realized we Could create a place that could serve as a place for community to gather for special events. We are making constant strides to utilize Our 3.5 acres highlighted by the Old Rugged Barn venue and welcome the opportunity to host any kind of public and private event! The Old Rugged Barn..... where happy happens!!

The Old Rugged Barn Campout!
We loved camping here! Very safe and quiet. Perfect for our family with three little ones. There was a porta potty on site which also made life easier. We met our lovely host last night who helped us out with extra water since the other water sources are temporarily not accessible. Would recommend bringing in your own water just in case. We absolutely fell in love with the property and would highly recommend camping here!

Great spot! Safe and picturesque!
This spot was perfect for our vintage rig and three kids under 10. It was quiet and safe. Jo is super friendly - felt super safe and it was nice knowing she was on site in case we needed anything. I didn’t see any potable water - hose water was available but not convenient. Porta potty was fine - also put less stress on our on board toilet. We were the only campers on a Tuesday night so it was spacious. With other campers I imagine it could be a little crowded.

Jo was amazing and the campground was beautiful! One of the buildings had a power outage and she was very quick to respond and help us with a solution to get our air and electric back on. 10/10 recommend staying here!

The old rugged barn was a delightful place to stay. There is so much love And care put into this place and it really shows. I felt very comfortable where I camped. It was very peaceful. I loved walking around and looking at the murals on the old buildings. It was absolutely magical looking over the cornfields at the ocean of fireflies at night. I would love top stay here again!
