All the sites are in sun. Some close to each other. Not much privacy.

So we love this place as it offers many different options as far as where you like to hike. If you prefer prairie, then you can hike prairie. If you want wooded, then yep, got that too. We have camped at the adjoining Paul Wolff campground. I love the variety when it comes to hiking. Last time we came across chicken of the woods fungus. Completely edible and great to work with but alas, no one can forage in Illinois forest preserves (btw Wisconsin rules for foraging are complete opposite 😉). Anyway, great place to walk, hike and even bike.

We live less than a mile from here, and have been walking/biking these trails in all seasons of the year, for over 20 years. It is still one of our favorite local places to hike, and we appreciate that the county continues to make improvements/enhancements to everyone's experience here, whether you are picnicking, fishing, hiking, walking your dog, biking the trail, riding your horses, birdwatching, or camping in your tent or RV. Here's a couple pics from our most recent visit on 4.27.24. It's a wonderful and quiet escape from the daily hustle.

Very scenic !! Venturing off the path onto the trails was great! The 2 paths connect through the trails. Our dog loves it here.

Totally destroyed the woods. Cleared out almost all of it. Too open now. That's not the only problem. You'd think they'd take care of benches that were donated to them. Dirty.
