John was a very kind and welcoming host. My family and I stopped over for a quick night in our way from lake superior back home, and we had to head out pretty early in the morning. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay longer to get to know John, but I appreciate the brief but warm welcome we received and how eager John was to ne accessible and accommodating. The property is really beautiful with a dynamite sunset and sunrise. We pitched our tents near the apple orchard and enjoyed a peaceful night (except I did have to relocate to the car due to my family's snoring -- all our fault and nothing to do with the campsite!). Just the sounds of summertime bugs. The fields on the property were dew-crested and cool, which made for a pleasant sleep considering that it eas about 90 degrees during the day. John also offered us a free fire pit with fire wood! Too bad we were too tuckered out to take him up on his offer. Just 10 minutes up the road is Plainfield, which was nice for weary travelers like us who were too tired to quick and found a nice restaurant to eat. Kind host, tranquil spot to sleep, a great spot for someone staying near the city who wants to sleep outdoors.

Great place to camp! We car camp and Jonathan met us and suggested a couple good spots for shade and privacy. He even brought over a picnic table for us to eat and relax at before heading back into our car for the night and let us know he was easy to reach if we needed anything at all.
Extremely quiet and peaceful location - typically I sleep with earplugs but I like country and nature noises, so I waited to see if I'd need them for road noise or not before using them. Stayed for two weekend nights and honestly can't recall hearing ANY traffic noise even though our camping location wasn't that far from the road. Did NOT need the earplugs. It was perfect.
Loved the stay and Jonathan was a super friendly, helpful host!

Power, WiFi and restrooms made this a great stop. Several cameras on the property made us feel secure!

Has it all!
This is a great find. Peaceful and hosts Jonathan and Gary both met and talked to us. The ducks were fun to watch too. This looks like a great wedding or party venue too. We will keep this place in mind when we come back by this way in the future.

Tent camping at Basic Acres was simple and enjoyable! Jonathan greeted us on arrival and gave us a rundown of the property and offered to answer any questions. We enjoyed the peacefulness of our stay, it was a quick stop but would have enjoyed the fire pit on the property! Lights were located around the pond as well as outlets which we used for our bed and fan.
