WTW- our new favorite getaway!
22 ft campervan ·
Wine Trail Wilderness - Elec. 30amp
My husband and I had the best time van camping at Jon and Carla’s place! We’ve stayed at quite a few different Hipcamps, but their space was truly unforgettable! We loved being able to use the Grainzebo to hang out, cook meals, and sit around the fire! It doubled as an extra space to utilize during some rain storms, and kept us dry and comfortable! The sunset views are spectacular too! The location is wonderful, and made for getting around to our favorite spots easy! Though we had the middle camp spot, we felt like we had plenty of privacy! Everything is set up well! All of the extras they provide and think of really set this place apart from others. Attention to detail is amazing! They were so kind and attentive as well! We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back in the future for more anniversary trips! Jon and Carla, thank you for making this a wonderful trip for us!

We loved camping at WTW! It is a beautiful camp site with enough privacy for each camper and with every detail that its owners have taken into consideration. Each campsite has its own tables, chairs, fire pit, and wooded area. The owners so kindly have set up waste/recycling baskets and provided us with fresh and delicious water when needed. They have a really cool restroom with an impeccably maintained compostable toilet and a sink to wash hands. Little details with huge impact when you’re camping with young ones and staying more than an overnight. The grainzebo is a cool place to hangout if you’re interested in chatting with other campers and if in need of an electric outlet. The bocci ball court is the ultimate hangout after a meal or a long hiking day! The owners also provide each guest with great resources as far as places to visit. Needless to say, one of the best camps in Hip Camp and a true gem in Southern Illinois. Thank you Jon for all your kindness and hospitality, we hope to come back again!

We had a fantastic time at WTW. Peaceful, tranquil, and beautiful. More importantly, if there are better hosts anywhere I have yet to find them. I will definitely plan to stop by again when in the area.

Glamping with the best hosts!

Wine Trail Wilderness - Elec. 30amp
We had a great time camping (really it was glamping!) at WTW! Our host met us at our arrival with our pre-ordered wine (and even real wine glasses), which was a real treat after a long drive. The campsite had everything we needed and more, and Jon was responsive to every request. He even lent us a local guidebook for Snake Road (a must visit in the area, if you are into those sort of critters). And Jon gave us really good and useful recommendations for local hikes (like which way to take the Little Grand Canyon hiking trail). We loved the "grainzebo" and the property overall and definitely would come back again. The composting toilet/outhouse was really quite nice and way better than any camping toilet we've ever had access to! The bocce court was so fun (and an unexpected surprise!) and the lights around the grainzebo gave us the perfect hang out spot, even in the chilly weather. Loved the area and would recommend WTW to everyone.

Jon and Carla have a beautiful Hipcamp. This is the first time we have gone camping with our toddler girls (ages 3 and 1) and we had a blast! I am so glad we chose WTW. We loved that the campsite locations were spread out from one another, so that our girls could run around, play, and hopefully not disturb anyone with all the laughter and yelling that comes with young children. We stayed at the Dogwood Site for two nights and absolutely loved the location. It’s perfect for our large 10-person tent with plenty of room. Each site has a firepit and a table with chairs. We appreciated the 5 gallons of ice cold water that was provided. There even is a nice outhouse on the property. Just beware if you have T-Mobile you will not have cell phone reception in the area without having to drive into a major town. However, we enjoyed having less cellular distractions as we could focus more on quality family time. Overall, we had a great experience and are looking forward to planning our next trip here!

Beautiful land — Jon was very friendly & got camp set up for us before we arrived. The water & privy were much appreciated.
