Testimonials

  • "We enjoyed a night away making steak, a fire, music and drinks under the stars. The cats, dogs and other animals were a welcome treat."

    Katie and Greg

  • "This place is such a gem. Tucked away from everything right on the river. My gf and myself were treated to clear night time sky views of stars and a roaring fire. The most important thing though…the animals. We had two of the cutest cow ‘friends’ who were eager to see what we were doing. Always greeting us in the morning. Now I don’t know if you believe in the cat distribution system but we learned it’s real. We had both day shift and night shift companions. Both the sweetest companions and best campground guards you’ve ever met. I would suggest this space to anyone looking for a quick getaway and a great time. Close to city life if you need a night away from the tent but perfect for just sitting at the river and watching things pass with a cat on your lap. Just don’t book on a day we decide to come back, haha."

  • "Great stay here for a couple of nights. Stars were great with the new moon, campsite was perfectly tucked away. If you have a lot of gear or a heavy cooler, be prepared to haul it in as the trail to the site is off and down the road from parking. Tons of animals roaming around the place. Firewood is available. Perfect stay and thanks again to the hosts!"

  • "This was our first Hipcamp so we honestly didn’t know what to expect, but it exceeded our expectations! Britt was very responsive and provided clear instructions allowing us to find the property and site with no problems. Parking is spacious and we were able to park 300 ft from our site. There is a well maintained path through the woods that leads to the private site. The site itself fit our 4 person tent with no problems and being next to the river was amazing. The neighboring highland cow pasture was amazing and we loved watching them pass by. Bathrooms were a short walk, and were clean and thoughtfully decorated (and equipped with all necessities). My husband really enjoyed the outdoor shower! Firewood and charcoal was available to purchase. This is a working farm so you can hear sheep and cows, as well as we got frequent visits from dogs and cats:). We would def come back. You can tell there is much care and thoughtfulness to make the property welcoming."

  • "I so enjoyed the couple nights I spent at my very peaceful, private spot along the Pecatonica River at Brittany’s place. If you’re an animal lover this place will make you smile for sure! Dogs, cats, a litter of kittens while I was there, sheep,"

 FAQs

  • We sell firewood for .50 a piece and you can place your order at booking or purchase it here. We also sell wood charcoal for our provided grills for $3. We accept cash or Venmo payments.

  • Your furry friends are allowed at our Riverside Chorus site, but not at our Highland Meadows site due to the proximity to our cows. We ask you keep your dogs leashed when around the main building until all our furry friends have met. We do have our own dogs and cats and ask you to keep your pets to your site unless they are socialized. Thank you!

  • Yes and no. We welcome you to fish off our banks, all sites are adjacent to the river. We do not allow physical access to the river. This rule is in place to help preserve our banks from eroding and we ask you respect this policy during your stay.

    There are several boat launches nearby, the closest being the north side of town just down the road a mile. The other is below the dam and can be accessed on the south side of Blanchardville.

  • We have a short .5 mile path through a prairie restoration project. It is beautiful in the summer and we recommend you check it out during your stay!
