1 night at Horseshoe Bend

I really enjoyed my stop. The rustic campsites were spread out and well trended to by the host, Brady. We loved the walking/ bike trails and my dog especially loved the creek.

1 night at Horseshoe Bend

Perfect spot to pull off the road and camp for the night. Brady was very communicative and the site was easy to find. Would stay again!

2 nights at East Woods on the IL River

The creek was gorgeous and I want to come back in the summer and maybe take a dip in the watering hole! The spot was nice and private. We were lucky that there wasn’t anyone in the Airbnb on the land so we had the space more to ourselves. There is a train yard right next to the camping spot that is quite loud when a train goes by. I’m a really good sleeper so I didn’t mind it that much but if you are sensitive to noise when you sleep that might be hard to deal with. Other than that I had a great time and Katie is great and I hope to come back!

1 night at Horseshoe Bend

The best hipcamp yet! I can see why so highly rated. Private, peaceful, clean, and firewood! Stopped one night on a long road trip, but this will definitely go in my favorites list for when I can stay longer. Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of paradise 💙

1 night at Horseshoe Bend

We are so grateful for Brady’s help! We accidentally locked ourselves out of our camper, and he was incredibly kind and quick to assist us. He stayed patient, professional, and made sure we were back inside safely. His support truly saved the day! We highly recommend him – thank you again!

Weekend Trip to Horseshoe Bend

What are great place to camp. Quiet and private, we were the only ones there. Brady is a great host, very helpful and supplied all the firewood we wanted.

3 nights at East Woods on the IL River

Plenty of private land to set up camp and Katie is super friendly. Short drive to starved rock and matthiesen parks. I would suggest walking the entrance road to scout it prior to committing to driving down it. We got stuck and required off road recovery tow $$$. Other than that we loved this area

Weekend Trip to East Woods on the IL River

Katie was the best! The campsite was well kept and easy to access. The train was a little noisy, but it didn’t bother us. Would recommend this spot!

Weekend Trip to Whispering Pines Events & Lodging

We got there as soon as it started getting dark and had to leave early the next morning, so we didn’t get to do any exploring. But it was a nice quiet and safe place for our family to stay.

Had an excellent time at Katie's property as usual! :)

Super nice hosts, beautiful property, quiet, easy and non congested drive to Bloomington.

Weekend Trip to East Woods on the IL River

This is an amazing spot. Plenty of open room and trails. Lots of wildlife and river front access. You can see so many stars at night. Firepits at every site and plenty of wood to gather and burn.

East Woods on the IL River

3 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Ottawa, IL

This 25 acre parcel was once owned by a sand mining company. There are mounds and valleys all along the Illinois River. We purchased the property in 1987, and cut in the road. The city of Ottawa recently annexed the property into the Ottawa city limits. It's like owning our own wild park.

The Old Rugged Barn

24 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Towanda, IL

I grew up on a farm and thrilled to be enjoying country living once again! We are not annual campground, but we have space on the property for travelers needing an overnight or two. We can be found on HIPCAMP listed under OLD RUGGED BARN. We are in central IL near Historic Rt 66, minutes north of Bloomington-Normal with easy access from I-55. The property is a small 3.5 Acre farmstead that includes our event venue, space that can used for campers, and my home. We offer space for Campers through Hipcamp. We are NOT a campground per se. We do have space on our property to comfortably accommodate up to 8 spaces for Overnight guests. I moved to the farm in 2010 with the intent to simply enjoy the peace And quiet of country living. Then I realized we Could create a place that could serve as a place for community to gather for special events. We are making constant strides to utilize Our 3.5 acres highlighted by the Old Rugged Barn venue and welcome the opportunity to host any kind of public and private event! The Old Rugged Barn..... where happy happens!!

Frakers Grove Farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents250 acres · La Fayette, IL

Frakers Grove Farm has been part of my family since the 1980s, but its history extends back to 1828 when Michael Fraker arrived and negotiated a peaceful settlement with the local Native American tribes, becoming the first settler in North Eastern Knox County. His grave, along with those of approximately 26 relatives and friends, is located on the property. Camp on a 250-acre farm in Western Illinois, featuring a 1.5-acre pond stocked with Blue Gill, Crappie, Wide Mouth Bass, Catfish, and resident Grass Carp, plus a small creek. The property also has trails and abundant wildlife, including deer, American river otters, beavers, geese, wood ducks, and raccoons. A Jon boat is available for use on the pond. We offer 1 Walk-in Camp Site and 1 Drive-In Site by the pond, each with a fire ring. RV camping is currently in a trial phase; your feedback is invaluable. This area provides primitive wooded camping behind and around the pond, with the RV site located next to the pole barn. Note: The RV site listing is not normally active, so please reach out in advance if interested. Guest WiFi is available near the buildings. Assistance with transporting tents and supplies to and from the campsite on check-in and check-out days is available upon request. Facilities include a Porta Potty and potable water from a yard hydrant, both located near the Pole Barn. NOTE: This is an active farm with considerable activity involving heavy machinery during the spring and fall. We currently have chickens and are taking a break from pigs. The newly established pasture is expected to yield grass hay this year to help fund new fencing, a preparatory step for introducing cows.
