Hansen's Hideaway

I've been going camping to Hanson's Hideaway for about close to 10 years already we go every Labor Day weekend depending on the weather last year we didn't go to Jacobi. And the year before there was a bad storm and it stormed the whole weekend of Labor Day other than that I go with my family I've been taking my granddaughters there I took my granddaughter Gigi when she was I think four and she's going to be 13 and I think Camry was maybe going on 6 and she is 14 they look forward to it every year I got another granddaughter Odyssey that she looks forward to going to I've been taking her as well since she was little this year you could have went to White Pines which is right next to it triple horseback riding you get free cooked corn the sweetest corn that you will ever eat you go up to the main station and it's cooked already and you take a bowl with you or train you can take as much corn as you want they got these showers hot showers a quarter bathrooms are clean that got a game room for the kids a big game room a big playground they got a beach on the premises and it's just about family gathering laughing cooking eating everybody Cooks together everybody hangs out together this year was about 15 tents a whole lot of people came out this year someone invite somebody else another person invites another family and that's how the tradition starts I recommend Hanson Hideaway to anybody you can go fishing this fishing shopping you find Farmers selling fruits yard sales when you're driving to go to the store you got Dixon Illinois that's only 10 15 minutes away to go shopping for everything anyting I love it I love it I enjoy the memories I make her my granddaughters and my friends and family the pictures without worrying about my life next year I'll be going again

American Family owned and Friendly to ALL grounds are always a great time. I've been camping here since the womb. Has restrooms/( coin operated) showers and caping sites with electric outlets for those who "need" it. Horses. Tons of space and friendly faces. Bring your own firewood & ice or buy from the front desk/check in area! Did I mention HORSES!

What a kind and incredible place. A family business with lots to do, I was met with kindness and generosity. Everything is clean and well placed. High recommendation.

I've been coming here for over 10 years with my grandparents its a nice place to escape. The stars are very pretty at night and it's calm and quiet. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, I really love this place it will always be my little getaway.

If you are looking for a simple camping experience on the fly this was a great place. My boyfriend and I and his 5 year old son decided to go on a spur of the moment camping trip, during 4th of July weekend. We wanted to go somewhere other then Starved Rock, and saw there are two state parks in the area. All the camp grounds in the area were first come first serve. We struck out at the first place and stumbled here. There are no defined camp sites, but a long tree line. It was not extremely busy so we found a nice private nook down a hill and set up camp. They had clean bathrooms and showers, a swimming hole, a small child's playground and they had some kid activities for the Holiday. The staff was extremely friendly and it was very reasonable in price. We would stay here again. It's only a few miles from both parks and a very quick drive. If you want deep woods camping this is not your campground.
