Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

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 Blake and Aiden, the couple who own this land, are LGBTQ+ friendly, in their mid-20's, pet friendly, and also love to camp, hike, rock climb, and travel. They would be happy to answer any questions about nearby hiking, local attractions, restaurants, etc.Sites can have up to 6 guests. Guests can enjoy the 3 acres of property, but please maintain the hosts privacy and other camper's space. There are no hook-ups at this site, however, we have a hose that can fill up a tank if needed. You may use the fire pit as you please. Please leave no trace and take your waste with you, as we have limited garbage capacity.

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.

Secluded Stay HIPCamp Hideaway Gem

25 ft travel trailer · With kids

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.
