(Dispersed site)
Multiple campsites on the property, but well spaced out. The host, Russ (a retired sheriff's deputy), was super friendly and helpful. He brought firewood out to our site and also ran a long extension cord and brought a flood light for us to use since we were setting up after dark (and then he made a point of staying out of our way for the rest of the trip, but we knew we could get a hold of him any time we needed). We picked a site in the front by the road which was large and convenient, but we did have occasional road & train noise - it didn't wake us, but if you are a light sleeper you might prefer a site in the back. It was a great location to be close to Starved Rock but also a quick trip back to Chicago in the morning. The property has some trails and ravines but we didn't get to explore - maybe next time!
Past trip
in John Z.’s Land, WisconsinMet or beat every expectation!
Glacier Ridge farm was fantastic. It was peaceful and well-kept and lived up to or surpassed all expectations from the posting. There were a couple of different camp sites to choose from. John is a friendly and helpful host - he even brought our kids into the chicken yard to meet the chickens and took us all on a tour of the old barn and bunkhouse. Each campsite has both a fire ring and a charcoal grill and sites are large and level. The port-a-potty was clean. And the outdoor shower is fantastic - a large stall behind the barn where you have both privacy and a great view out over the fields (plus hot water!). We'd happily stay there again!

AMAZING! Even better than we hoped for. The property is lovely and so is Lisa. We were there at the same time as 1 other group and Lisa also had friends staying in her camper but there was still plenty of space and privacy. Easy access to water, electricity, and indoor bathroom. We were able to set the tent up out in the field, leaving plenty of distance from the fire so the kids could sleep and the adults could enjoy the stars by the fire. The animals were all charming and well-behaved - my kids were sad to say goodbye! And you couldn't find a better host than Lisa. She was responsive and available but gave us our space and she went over and above to make our stay comfortable. We'll definitely be back!
