Very rustic and private. we are in the best part of the Illinois wilderness. Our woods transport you a world away, yet you are just a short walk from your vehicle and a short drive to stores, sites and restaurants. Our campsites are treated with a light essential oil to help repel bugs, like mosquitoes and ticks. Our pond is treated weekly for mosquitoes. We work hard so that you are comfortable. Your campsite is clean and stocked for you with a picnic table, five pieces of firewood, a lighter, fire starters, a couple of chairs and peace and quiet. A clean port a potty is available at the trail head and next to the stables. There is a stocked handwashing station next to the port a potties. No bears, no wolves, no mountain lions. Plenty of owls, birds, frogs, and small critters plus the shy deer are all about. Our "camp host" Tiller the big lovable doggo will patrol to scatter any trash pandas that might happen by. We keep track of him using GPS, so we know if He is hanging with you around the campfire. When his collar lights up and plays a tune, it's time for him to come home! Please send him on his way - thank you. Cicadas 2024 are GONE It's so quiet! Except for the birds and other soft singing insects. Up coming events: Marseilles Fundays Now - June 30th.

Forest Get A Way

Loved our stay!

Heidi is a wonderful person and was very accommodating during our stay. The parking area is about a 5 minute walk from the campsites but Heidi has a small tractor that she can use to carry any gear you have with you. The campsite was clean, quiet, and spacious enough to accommodate our large tent. One of her pups (Tiller) was very friendly and hung out at our campsite until it was time for him to go back home. The property is a 25 minute drive from Ottawa, so it’s in close proximity to hiking/river activities. We enjoyed our stay here!

Pondside Paradise

Great campsite with a great host. Our campground was clean with a trash/recycling bin near by. A campfire with food and a peaceful nights rest. 10/10 would recommend and would visit again.

Forest Get A Way

Overall we had a good little getaway but it wasn’t as private as we expected as we could see other camp sites and it was right on the main trail. We got turned around so many times because there were no signs leading us back out to the parking area or to just use the porta-potty so I would recommend putting signs up for sure. Still thank you for a new experience it’s definitely better than a a usual campsite that’s wide open.
