Lovely rustic park. It's pretty quiet area. Camping area has spots for campers and tents. Very basic, with outhouse. It's a pretty park to walk around, it has some level changes with a creek and playground for kids to play. You can reserve your campsite online.

The horse trails are good. The staff tends to clean up downed trees pretty fast. You have the option of wooded trails or open prairie trails. There are several water crossing for horses. I have camped here. I wish there was electricity available to horse campers, instead we have to run generators all the time. I like how close it is to just go over for a quick ride.

By far, my favorite park in Northern Illinois. It's not huge but the place is absolutely beautiful. Come during the fall for the best experience. Camping, events, photos are perfect for this location.
