Welcome to our piece of paradise. Our family bought “The Land” when our kids were young and it became our weekend camping, fishing, and exploring retreat. We now want to share our rolling hills, fishing ponds and country life with you. Hidden down a farm lane, our land is perfect for spending time in nature. We have well-maintained grass walking trails, two 1-2 acre spring fed, 35 ft deep, well stocked fishing ponds, kayaks, row boats, fishing dock and waders for walking in the creek. We invite you to indulge yourself in the complete quiet of the country and enjoy the serenity of nature. You are far enough away from the big city to see thousands of stars at night, but close enough to get anything you need. You are less than 20 minutes from Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Park, 30 minutes from Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge and Dickson Indian Mounds, 40 minutes from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and historic sites.Site 1 is a flat grass space on the hilltop overlooking the two ponds, valley, and Indian Run River outline. Guests who book the Private RV parking are nestled behind the cabin near the portable restroom, electrical outlet, and water supply. There is a 1/2 acre area for games, fire pit cooking, picnicking, and a short walk from the walking trails, fishing dock, and easy hike up to the look-out tower or down to the Indian Run RIver. Guests need to burn all trash or carry out and leave no trace.

A great spot w/ views-Read for tips
30 ft travel trailer · With kids
We had a great time at The Land. Peaceful and quiet - no one around at all. The fire pit sits atop a hill overlooking one of the ponds and a nice little valley - there is a small stream, but it is not visible from the pit area. Some things to note: there are a couple of spots for a travel trailer - if you want to be near the 30A power, your trailer will not be near the fire pit area, as that pole is on the other side of the small cabin (which is a small single wide mobile home), also the water is in the same area, but you will need a longer hose if you plan to hook up to your trailer - so be aware of that. My 25’ hose was too short, but my 75’ hose did reach. You will need to level (my beech lane levelers worked well), so account for that, I backed in and because of the slope needed every block I had to use the rear stabilizers . No sewer, but the Loves in Jacksonville has a dump for $10. Second, the area by the fire pit has NO SHADE, you might bring a pop-up tent or shelter for some shade, especially if you usually use your RV awning, since the power is not near that area, and relaxing with the amazing view by the fire pit area is much better. I really wish I would have brought a pop-up, (or even 2 or 3) it would have made that area much better, as it is hot on that side with no shade. The ground around the fire pit is slightly uneven, and I wish the gravel came out a bit further from the pit. There is plenty of wide open space so you certainly can bring some yard games!

Peaceful Spot
Tent
The land is absolutely gorgeous! Easy to find. Host is very responsive and helpful. The tent site is flat. The fire pit has a nice gravel surround with an attachable grill and nearby firewood. Potable water is available from the hose nearby, which came in very handy! They even provide a Johnny on the spot. The first pond has a small dock to fish off of. We loved paddling around the pond in the provided canoe and kayak. Our dog enjoyed swimming off of the old partially sunken dock and running as fast as she could through the property! She met a rabbit and tons of butterflies. We slept well and saw so many stars at night! We can’t wait to come back with our friends for more adventures exploring the land!

“The land” was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. The ponds and fishing were a nice to use when camping. The, host supplied, canoe and kayaks were great to use while there. We loved how responsive the host is. She is very helpful. Having access to water, a toilet, firewood and the canoe/kayak , is why we decided to camp here and I’m so glad we did! We will definitely be back!
