Hidden Ridge - at Otter Lake
Relaxing Secluded Camping Experienc
Hidden Ridge private campground is a truly unique camping experience that is a rare find in Illinois. This secluded private campground is located at the end of a one-lane gravel road that leads right to Otter Lake. There are no neighbors nearby and you're entirely surrounded by beautiful midwest forest (mostly walnut and oak trees). We were specifically searching for a place we could bring our 2 dogs and 3 kids and wouldn't have to worry about other campers nearby. This place did not disappoint- as the nearest person was all the way on the other side of the lake.
We also wanted a place where we wouldn't need to bring a tent. This site already has a beautiful canvas tent set up. It's built on a wood deck that includes both a front and back porch. Inside the tent there is a queen bed and table and chairs. Both the front and back porch also have seating- and the backporch overlooks the lake.
Outside of the tent is a seperate washing station, complete with HEATED running water! There is a kitchen sink, toilet, and shower area. The kitchen area is stocked with all the necessities needed for outdoor cooking and dining. The camp host provides coolers and a lock box as well. They advertise as a place where you "just need to bring food and drinking water". I recommend also bringing a cast iron if you're hoping to cook on the campfire. We came in the fall and the evenings were quite chilly- so I'd also suggest bringing extra bedding.

Bachelor Party Campout
My friends and I celebrated a bachelor party at this site. It was very nice to have running water as well as a bathroom and shower. The outdoor kitchenette had everything we needed for cooking meals. I would definitely come back to this site!

Hidden Ridge - at Otter Lake
We had a great time at Teresa's little hideaway. The queen size bed was perfect for our 78-year-old Nana. She doesn't do well, understandably, in a sleeping bag or on an air mattress. There was plenty of room for the other eight of us to pinch four tents. All the essentials were provided and the shower and the flushing toilet might have spoiled me for life when camping. There was a problem one day with the water. I emailed Teresa and her husband was out within the hour to do a quick fix. A+ for customer service. I was a little bummed there was no swimming at the lake but we went down and rented kayaks and that was a lot of fun for the kiddos. Long driveway is great for throwing a football or riding dirt bikes and I will definitely bring my own kayaks. We would definitely come back again.
