Expansive Forest Preserve with miles of diverse trails that made for an outstanding hike. The trails range from wide paved, to gravel, to narrow natural trails. The trails were well-maintained and in great shape, but there wasn't a lot of signage. The AllTrails app was also incorrect on trail locations, however, the trails were still relatively easy to navigate.

its quiet here and there are nice clean grassy sites, many with shade- elec. & water- 2 dump stations. While here we visited the towns of Elgin, Geneva, St. Charles, and West Chicago (mom lives there!). Weather was pretty good while here in late June. We will be back!

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.
