About this property

Experience Glamping in style. Private Lake - Pet Friendly!

Relax and rejuvenate with a luxurious glamping experience in the woods. Off the beaten trail - Enjoy a beautiful lake-view, deluxe RV travel trailer, and amazing site for star gazing. Feel free to use the spa near the pool!

You can lay low and cook all your own meals or eat right around the corner at Walker's Bluff.

Our goal is that you leave refreshed after spending time in nature and in the beautiful wildflower camper.

Some of our favorite hiking sites in Southern Illinois are not far away and if you want to hit the wine trail you can begin just minutes away!!

Cozy up with the book you have been meaning to read or binge on movies - just leave the stress behind!

Hangout by the campfire- in fact, keep a fire going all day!

Refreshing retreat from city life!

We enjoyed the natural surroundings alongside comforting accommodations/amenities. Perfect compromise for a family split between preferring camping and resorts! Hosts are very gracious, friendly, and responsive.

The property was lovely! The camper was clean and comfortable and quite spacious for a camper. The AC and fans made if very comfortable even with a heat advisory. My kids especially loved the pool and slides. It was such a great way to spend a few days. They host was very responsive- answering all questions in minutes- and very helpful. My kids are already asking to go back!

Peaceful Getaway

Owner was great, upon arrival had upgraded us to one of the motor homes with a private hot tub. Everything was clean and exactly as it was in the pictures on the listing. Swimming pool was also clean and wonderful to enjoy in this crazy heat! My husband also enjoyed some fishing on the property. Thanks for a trouble free stay!

Great weekend away

The location was perfect for a quiet relaxing weekend. The host was quick to communicate if we had any questions or issues. We are definitely planning another trip there very soon. It is close to shopping, the casino, and the wineries.

This was a wonderful stop for our family of 6 on our way from Chicagoland to Memphis. We loved it so much that we stayed on our way back as well, and my kids want to plan a trip to go back and stay for longer. The hosts were very responsive, the campers were perfectly stocked with what we needed, and the pups on property were sweet and playful.

Great location and property hosts!

The location was perfect for hitting trails or parks around Shawnee but also Carbondale as well! Hosts were super friendly and easy to get in touch with. Camper was very clean and nicely set up, they also had very friendly dogs who came and gave us company as well. We will definitely be back!

It was a nice quiet place to relax. There were a few things i wish i would have known before arrival but they were minor. The host was very kind and attentive as far as if we needed anything and he responded quickly when we messaged.

Secluded getaway close to the casino

Stayed here for an evening in order to go to an event at the casino. It was really close and a lot more affordable than a hotel room at the casino. We didn't take advantage of the pool or lake, but other campers were swimming, kayaking and fishing and appeared to have a great time.
