Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Learn more about this land: (NOTE) Greenwood Rd and Illinois Rt 120 are the same...Google uses Greenwood Rd, and the State prefers Illinois Rte 120) Get away from it and commune with nature in a pre-settlement natural oak savanna with oaks and hickories of 200-400 years. 25-acre woodland completely fenced and surrounded by cropland and woods with no homes or roads within a half mile. Experience the land as the nomadic Indian tribes saw it. Trails cross the property. Hawks, owls, turkeys, and occasional bald eagles, along with finches, woodpeckers, doves, and martins fill the sky; while deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits roam the grounds. Only two camps are available to keep the setting pristine and primitive and a third site can be used behind the sheds if you encounter unexpected weather.

Sweet little spot in the woods
Lovely spot on the edge of the woods. It’s a short and pretty drive off of the main road to the spot. The sunset was beautiful as were the birds in the morning.

What a great spot to unwind. A nice peaceful spot behind the barns with big fire pit. It was great to see the sun go down and all the fireflies come out from the soy bean fields. Thank you for a cozy, quiet and safe place to reset my clock.

We had a great time camping on Steve's property. It is very secluded and beautiful out there. My daughter loved it. Not too far for us to travel so we will probably return in the future.
