Frakers Grove Farm
About
Frakers Grove farm has been in my family since the 1980’s but the history of Frakers Grove dates back to 1828 when Michael Fraker arrived to this area and negotiated a peaceful settlement with the Indians and became the first settler in the North Eastern Knox County. His grave is located on the property, and it is estimated that there are 26 other graves of relatives and friends in the area.
Camping on a 250 acre farm located in Western Illinois. There is a 1.5 Acre stocked lake and a small creek running through the property. There are some trails running through the property. Wildlife found on the property include: Deer, American River Otters, Beavers, Geese, Wood Ducks, Racoons, etc.
1 Walk-in Camp Sites & 1 Drive-In Site by the pond available, each with a fire ring and picnic table. We are testing out RV Camping as well, feed back is appreciated! Overall this is primitive wooded camping behind and around pond, the RV site is next to the polebarn. Guest WiFi is available near the buildings.
We can aid in getting your tent and supplies to and from the campsite on check-in and check-out days with a side by side if requested.
Effective 5/31/2023 we now have a Porta Potty available for our guests to use located up by the Pole Barn.
NOTE: This is an active farm; during the spring and fall there is more activity with heavy machinery. We also have Chickens and Pigs. In 2023 we are building a pasture to start our herd of cows, cow's should arrive in 2024.

Memories
This place is amazing!!! Dennis is a great host and one of the nicest people you'll meet. Our site by the pond is fantastic. Listening to the birds and frogs as you sit by the fire is perfect. The stars at night are pretty special also. I highly recommend a trip to the farm. I can't say enough about this place. Perfect is a good start.
