On the outskirts of Springfield lay a secluded, peaceful piece of property perfect for a quick night or a weekend getaway. For those that don't wish to go all the way into the woods, our property is a great way to get that camping feel while still being in perfect vicinity to town for any basic needs or food chains.
Nearby attractions:
Carpenter Park that has beautiful hiking trails and Sangamon River access (5 min drive)
Riverside Park - very dog friendly, fishing, Sangamon river access, hiking, horseback riding, etc. (3 minute drive)
The Rail Golf Course (5 min drive)
Weebles Bar and Grill being only a short walk away

Our experience was quite good. Aiden is a nice efficient host. I was pleased to find a level spot that didn’t require any leveling bricks. My only complaint is the train noise which the host cannot change.

Nice open grassy area in a safe residential area. We just needed a place to park and sleep. Best for self contained camping.

Green!
Tent
Beautiful sites up against the woods, nice green lawn.
Houses across the grass limit privacy though.

Honestly the hosts are such sweetie pies and we will most definitely come back again. We moved from out of state and they’ve been so nice to deal with. The property is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained which just adds to the comfort. Aiden is kind and very understanding, has answered many questions I had about the area along the way. We even added an extra night for convenience on our end and the spots were available so he was very gracious about the last minute change up.

Aiden is a most gracious host. The camping spots were flat and offered abundant shade. Felts secluded.
