Great camping spot!

Tent · Group trip

Great camping spot! The toilet is near the entrance, so you need to drive back to use it. But the land is gorgeous and the horses are amazing to see while camping.

Great site. Had everything we needed for tent camping. Potable water and toilet close enough by to make stay comfortable. Will be back for sure.

Nice spot for tent camping

Tent · With kids

Nice place to go tent camping. We did see/feel the freight train go rolling by in the middle of the night. I had read about it in other reviews so we were semi-expecting it. Not too far from Chicago. Wish we would of booked horse rides earlier than the few days before that I tried. It was my bad but the host kept us in the loop of one cancelation opportunity (which we couldn't get there in time for) and was very accommodating.

It was a beautiful spot, and the train overhead at 2:30am was fine, but horses roaming free and walking/rummaging through the camp at all hours made it hard to sleep.

Wonderful Experience

Tent

What an incredible experience. When we arrived we followed the written instructions down to a bridge where we crossed by foot. The camp site was just across the small bridge. There was a train that came though. However, it did not bother us at all. The site itself was perfect. Nestled right next to a beautiful creek where we did a little catch and release fishing. The site had a picnic table and firepit. It was very quiet and no one bothered us at all. The horses were friendly and when they were through with a days work they crossed over the bridge and out to the field. It was very cool to experience that. Over all the stay was awesome! Sunday morning we woke up and enjoyed coffee while trail riders made their way through the trails. We took the 1:15 pm trail ride and it was wonderful. The trails were beautiful and the horses did exceptional. After the ride we was able to enjoy some time with the horses and they also have a small petting area with smaller animals. Thank you Millbrook Farm for a wonderful experience. We hope to be back next year to enjoy the 2 hr ride and another night of camping.

Beautiful, relaxing, and secluded.

Tent

Site was as described. Private, quiet, and secluded. The train bridge and creek next to it make it an exceptional camp site. Watching the horse tours throughout the day was an added bonus. Very peaceful place. Would definitely recommend camping here. Much better experience than a large campground!
