Heidi was extremely friendly and respectful—she helped us carry our gear in and out exactly when we requested, and we had a great time chatting with her. As a lesbian couple, my girlfriend and I felt safer than we ever have at a campsite before, which means the world. We will definitely be back! Thank you Heidi!

The campsite was beautiful and clean, included firewood, hand sanitizer, fire starters, chairs, trash/recycle bins, fire pit and a picnic table! We loved having Tiller (doggo and camp host) come around and check in on us 🐾 Heidi and Stan were so helpful with including detailed instructions to get there and what to expect! They also helped bring our gear to our site and back. They would respond so quickly to any messages and were super friendly!! Being around the gorgeous horses, doggos, cats, chickens and goats was an added bonus to the experience for us! The site is so close to starved rock and buffalo rock which was perfect for us as we hiked a lot! Thank you Heidi and Stan!! 🌿" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Christina S." }, "datePublished": "June 21, 2025", "reviewBody": "Spectacular! Location: the campground itself was very well maintained, our group had 4 tents and we had plenty of room without feeling crowded but also still felt nestled in nature. At night you can see stars between the trees and even better, as it is summer, we saw fireflies twinkling in the trees! -it gets DARK, and it was very peaceful. Our host Heidi was amazing, she was very responsive, prepares the area to minimize mosquitoes, provides delicious eggs, and has a tractor to help carry things back and forth to the car. Everyone collectively fell in love with her dog Tiller and it is not far at all from starved rock. I only wished we booked a longer stay!\nThe trail to the bathroom is clear and having stayed in the cleared areas we had no issues with ticks. There is adequate shade but morning was still very bright where we set up our tents. \n" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Caleb R." }, "datePublished": "June 22, 2025", "reviewBody": "The campsite was wonderful and Heidi was very kind to us - it is clear she cares about her guests." } ] } ``` [robots.txt](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/robots.txt) · [llms.txt](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/llms.txt) · [sitemap](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/sitemap_index.xml)
