Goatland

Goatland is located near the rolling terrain of northern Illinois. Temperatures range from lows in the 20s Fahrenheit during winter to highs in the 80s in summer. Nearby, visitors can explore the natural beauty of Rock Cut State Park and the attractions of Rockford, including the Anderson Japanese Gardens.

Description

It's not a huge place, but the goats, sheep, and a very bossy donkey will keep you company as you bake in the sun, or read under a tree by the creek. Close hwy access, but far enough from that, and in most cases the house, to afford privacy. This is a working farm.

I have several locations for campers based upon multiple factors like weather, phase of hay growth, whether you have kids, want sun or shade, or animals in your space. I limit the number of people here at one time - there is only one bathroom.

We're happy to have you, to answer any questions you may have, and to introduce you to the animals. We mind our own business unless you need something. If you require a lot of attention, manicured lawns, electrical service at your site, a grill at your disposal, and parking at your tent, you probably wouldn't be happy here, but if you like animals, quiet, and open space, we may be just what you're looking for.

Reasonable driving distance to Le-Aqua-Na, Apple River Canyon, Krape and Read Parks, Cadiz Springs, Pecatonica Forest Preserve, and Head Gates Park. About an hour from the Mississippi to the southwest, Galena to the west. There's also a popular walking/biking trail less than 5 mins away.

We are a safe space for LGBTQ+ folks.

Lambs are born in March. Kids are born in April or May. Most are gone, or mature enough to be less fun, by Oct.

Contact me with any inquiries, or questions.
