A Perfect Getaway
I recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend at Papa’s Sweet Corn campsite which is only a short drive from Geneva, and it was an experience to remember. Nestled within an enchanting apple orchard and a sweet cornfield, this campsite offers a unique blend of natural beauty and tranquility.
The towering, mature trees provided ample shade throughout the day, creating a cool and relaxing environment. At night, the low traffic area allowed for an unobstructed view of the stars, making stargazing a magical experience. The tire swing and swinging bench added a touch of rustic charm and fun to our stay.
The campsite itself was impeccably clean, including the outhouse, which was a pleasant surprise. The gated entrance offered an extra layer of privacy and was easily accessible. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, kind, and considerate. Their communicative nature and willingness to help made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
Overall, this campsite exceeded all my expectations. The serene environment, combined with the thoughtful amenities and outstanding hospitality, made for a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend this campsite and look forward to returning in the future.

Hidden gem...with delicious corn!
My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Brian's property. Within seconds of our arrival, Brian enthusiastically greeted us and provided an overview of the grounds, which were beautiful. The campsite is right next to an apple orchard, corn field and a short walk from the horse stables. There was ample firewood available along with a fire pit and Brian surprised us with a couple of ears of sweet corn. Would be quick to recommend this site to anyone and hope to have the opportunity to visit again.

Friendly and Clean!
Brian and his wife were very accommodating for what we needed on our way traveling through their neighborhood! I reached out last minute and showed up late and Brian made it all as easy as possible for us. We would have loved to stay longer to enjoy their beautiful property and spend more time in the apple orchard and around the horses… definitely will be staying there again on our way through the next time!

Super easy access from Chicago, but felt worlds away. Brian has created such a great sanctuary. Will be returning soon.

Papa's Sweet Corn Patch
A very en-lighting stay!
We endured a down pour of rain and the grounds did not flood. It was our second time there and our host Brian and Carol are the most gracious people we've met in a very long time. They have a way of making you feel like family. I would recommend this camp site without any reservations.
