Welcome to Whippletree! This is our sixth-generation family farm, and while it's more of a hobby farm now, it has been in continuous agricultural production since 1869! Besides tillable farm land, we are stewards of native prairie, small wooded areas, a remnant of an oak savanna and wetlands, with trails throughout. We consider this our sanctuary and enjoying sharing it with others looking for a place of retreat to connect with the natural world. Stop by for a visit!

Nice quiet spot for our travel trailer. Only a mile from the Gateway State biking trail. Will be back.

Perfect Farm Camping!
This farm is so lovely! It's a peaceful refuge in the city. The goats are so sweet, the farm kitty is so kind and the property is perfect! It's everything you'd want!

The site is nicely located and there is plenty of space. The host was available to assist with any issues that arose.

It was close to home. It was just what my daughter and I needed for her to get her camping skills under her feet. It felt like we were out in the middle of no where, yet being just minutes from town. Land was well maintained, everything was where it said it would be. It was a very positive experience.

We loved visiting! We walked a couple of the trails around the property and did see a couple deer, a couple garter snakes, and other misc. bugs and birds. The donuts were fabulous and a wonderful addition! While our time there was short, it was a relaxing getaway from Chicago.
