Rancho Del Comienzo is located at the intersection of Somonauk Creek and the Fox River. 150+ years ago, it was a commonly used Native American encampment. Now it is the site of Rancho Del Comienzo Hay and Horses. We ask that if you find an arrowhead that you respect the land and leave it where it lays. Somonauk Creek is a known spawning ground of musky and other Illinois river fish. There is access to both the Fox River and Somonauk Creek for kayaking, canoeing, fishing and other water-activities! We have two unique camping sites that are level and allow campfires. We look forward to hosting you!

Creek Campsite - Rancho Comienzo

Great Spot

This is a great spot if you don't mind a quick hike with your gear to get there. On the Somonauk creek, plenty of canopy to keep the sun off and enough nature around to feel like you have privacy. Only downside is the roosters going off at the crack of dawn.

This is a beautiful property, and the camping is private and unique! The surrounding horses are a delightful bonus!

Fox River Landing - Rancho Comienzo

A very nice experience, and with very kind owners. The exhausting part is the walk, but afterwards it is wonderful to hear the crows scream and be at their party. It is very nice.

Creek Campsite - Rancho Comienzo

We had a wonderful time, this site is the perfect mix of convenience and seclusion. We loved being able to watch the horses and the proximity to the creek was awesome. Road and local bar noise was present, but not overwhelming. Mike and Taylor were so gracious and accommodating!

Fox River Landing - Rancho Comienzo

The campsite was worth the walk. Beautiful. We picked a very hot day to go and after the first trip out with our gear I was dying when I got back to the car. Mike saw this and offered to give me a hand using his 4x4. Saved me big time and even refused cash when I offered. We went for a dip in the river. Caught some good size catfish and cooked under the stars. Would recommend to anyone just make sure you bring a good wagon!!
