Here's a refined version of the description for the Rockford Ski Club: Discover the Rockford Ski Club: Nestled on 33 acres of diverse landscape, the Rockford Ski Club offers a unique blend of prairie, forest, gardens, and open fields. The property is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, turkeys, and foxes, and leads directly to the Kishwaukee River—perfect for kayaking or canoeing adventures. Enjoy stunning views of the river valley from the camping field, and embrace the spirit of community that has made this cooperative club a local treasure for decades. Members continue to ski and sled here, keeping tradition alive. Conveniently located just off Interstate 39, the club is only a 10-15 minute drive from Rockford, with a gas station just half a mile away. Camping options are available for tents, cars, vans, campers, or RVs in our maintained grassy area. While there is a well for non-potable water (suitable for washing), we recommend bringing your own drinking water. Electricity is available for basic needs like charging phones or powering lights and small devices, but it is not sufficient for RVs. For more information, feel free to reach out to our club president, Steve, at (815)-979-4888.

The Cutest Little Cabin for 2

This is the cutest little cabin for two people with beautiful hiking and river access. It was easy to find, navigate and get access. I’ll be returning.

Site D - Camp Site

Fall camping here was a wonderful experience! The property is gorgeous and there had been several improvements since the last time we camped here. We can't wait to plan another trip!

Beautiful Fall Getaway

This was my first time as a 'hipcamer' and I have no regrets! This land was absolutely beautiful! The sites were some sites that were somewhat close to one another and then another that was fairly private. The trails seemed to connect to each site at least to an extent and were beautiful to walk through. When I was there, there weren't any other campers so it was perfect for me and my reactive dog! One trail when down to the river and was absolutely beautiful. We were able to see so many trees and all different colors with the season changing! The manager and someone I met in passing were both very kind and cooperative!
