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!!

Second Site was perfect
Our group stayed at the second site along the river. Beautiful views downstream as well as a great atmosphere secluded from the surrounding properties. The river is swimmable but bring rock shoes and the current is rather strong fyi. Bugs were much more mild than anticipated (early August).
Mike and Taylor were the perfect hosts. Very welcoming and accommodating. Would definitely go back.

Creek Campsite - Rancho Comienzo
It was great camping on Mike’s land. We stayed at the creek side site and it was such a lovely space. My girlfriend and I both thought it was very peaceful and private, which is our top two must haves when we go camping! Will certainly be back!
Thanks Mike & Sarah!

Creek Campsite - Rancho Comienzo
This property is absolutely gorgeous. It's like something you'd see on a postcard. Mike and Taylor were super friendly and helpful. The site is totally private and secluded. It's also a MASSIVE site. It's a perfect spot for a romantic getaway or a big gathering. The creek is fun to wade in. The sight is also relatively quite as far as traffic noises and farming. There was also a surprising lack of bugs.
If you go here I would recommend a few things. Water shoes would have been nice. The creek is pretty silly, which allows the rocks to catch you off guard. A hammock would have been great to hang from a few of the trees in the middle of the property. And lastly, some sort of game. This is a huge site just waiting to have a Bags tournament played on it.
I can't recommend this place enough. It's really something special.

2nd visit. This time with the kids!
What a hidden gem! The property and landscape is straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. This was my 2nd time visiting. The first was with long-time friends next to a spot along Fox River. This time I brought three of my kids (14 yr old daughter and twin 11 yr old boys). We camped at a secluded spot next to the Somonauk creek. It is very private and the kids played/fished in the creek for hours. I had luck catching a monster Cat (chicken liver on a weighted treble) It is a short hike to the campsite so I’d highly recommend bringing a wagon.
I’d also recommend bringing ear plugs if you are a light sleeper since you can hear some traffic from the road, mostly in the morning.
If your kids needs a bit of a break from camplife, the “Sugar Grove Family Fun Center” is only a 20-30 minute drive. Mini Golf, Go-Karts, and Bumper Boats.
Hosts are excellent as always. Responsive and also leave you in peace.
