Nested along the Pecatonica River, Pink River Ranch boasts some lovely pink sunsets, quiet nights, chorus frogs chirping and some of the creature comforts you expect. Our ranch is home to sheep, cattle, horses, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. We're animal lovers and we hope you are too! We have a shared restroom for our guests. This space is jointly used between the guests who stay in our vintage airstream, camping wagon as well as our two tent sites. It features a shower, tub and relief facilities. We also have an outdoor shower if you're feeling adventurous! Potable water is available on-site but must be hauled into your campsite. Campsites are furnished with a small camp grill, fire ring and picnic table. All tent sites are accessible by foot only. We have a parking lot for you to keep your vehicle and wagons for use to get items to your site. Each site is no further than a one minute walk, two minutes if you're hauling a wagon. We sell firewood and charcoal for your grilling adventures (cash or Venmo only). We also sell lamb meat raised on our ranch if you'd like a fully immersive grilling experience. You can purchase meat prior to your stay and we'll have it ready for you. Place your order at www.pinkriverranch.com and select 'hospitality guest' at checkout. We have small fishing poles available for your use, we just ask you use them on our property and do not remove them for fishing in other local spots. Worms for bait can be purchased in town. We also have two cruising bikes available to use if you'd like to make the 5 minute bike ride to our local restaurants and attractions. We look forward to welcoming you to our slice of heaven on earth!

Adorable little camping spot right next to the river. Cute cats and cows to keep you company. Bathrooms nearby and friendly hosts!

Great stay here for a couple of nights. Stars were great with the new moon, campsite was perfectly tucked away. If you have a lot of gear or a heavy cooler, be prepared to haul it in as the trail to the site is off and down the road from parking. Tons of animals roaming around the place. Firewood is available. Perfect stay and thanks again to the hosts!

Come 4 the stars stay 4 the cats

Tent ·

Highland Meadows

This place is such a gem. Tucked away from everything right on the river. My gf and myself were treated to clear night time sky views of stars and a roaring fire. The most important thing though…the animals. We had two of the cutest cow ‘friends’ who were eager to see what we were doing. Always greeting us in the morning. Now I don’t know if you believe in the cat distribution system but we learned it’s real. We had both day shift and night shift companions. Both the sweetest companions and best campground guards you’ve ever met. I would suggest this space to anyone looking for a quick getaway and a great time. Close to city life if you need a night away from the tent but perfect for just sitting at the river and watching things pass with a cat on your lap. Just don’t book on a day we decide to come back, haha.

This was our first Hipcamp so we honestly didn’t know what to expect, but it exceeded our expectations! Britt was very responsive and provided clear instructions allowing us to find the property and site with no problems. Parking is spacious and we were able to park 300 ft from our site. There is a well maintained path through the woods that leads to the private site. The site itself fit our 4 person tent with no problems and being next to the river was amazing. The neighboring highland cow pasture was amazing and we loved watching them pass by. Bathrooms were a short walk, and were clean and thoughtfully decorated (and equipped with all necessities). My husband really enjoyed the outdoor shower! Firewood and charcoal was available to purchase. This is a working farm so you can hear sheep and cows, as well as we got frequent visits from dogs and cats:). We would def come back. You can tell there is much care and thoughtfulness to make the property welcoming.

Peaceful on the Pecatonica

Tent ·

Riverside Chorus

I so enjoyed the couple nights I spent at my very peaceful, private spot along the Pecatonica River at Brittany’s place. If you’re an animal lover this place will make you smile for sure! Dogs, cats, a litter of kittens while I was there, sheep, chickens, cows, horses and a duck for good measure! The site I had is right on the river’s edge surrounded by tall grasses and wild flowers with fantastic views of the gorgeous twilight and dark night sky. There’s no shade, however, which was fine as I happily left before the sun got too intense to explore nearby towns and nature during the day and appreciated settling back in here in the late afternoon/evening. It’s not a full car camping site per se in that my car, like the bathrooms, were up on the main part of the property which is about a 5min walk. That proved not to be much of an issue as they were happy to help me transport my gear back and forth on a 4 wheeler… a fun little addition to the experience for this city girl! It’s close to the tiny town and you can hear noise from cars flying down the country road not too far in the distance, so it’s not entirely remote but still kind of feels like it is. Fantastic experience overall! Can’t wait to see how this place evolves if I’m lucky enough to return.

Island in the grass

Tent · With kids ·

Riverside Chorus

The host is friendly, helpful and has welcoming dogs. Bathroom is nice and the outdoor heated shower is pleasant. The tent campsite is like an island in a meadow of tall grasses and wildflowers alongside a small slow moving river. You share the location with bunnies, toads, a plethora of songbirds and hummingbirds. It’s very quiet and the tall grass provides a lot of seclusion. The campsite is a three minute hike from the road through a mowed grass path that can be wet with morning dew. It is an additional two minute walk to the bathroom, shower and parking area. As the site is in a meadow, there is no shade and mosquitos are prevalent. If you are planning an extended mid-summer stay, consider bringing a pop-up canopy for shade that also has mosquito netting. Fishing poles may be fun as the site is on the river.
