Note: This campground is permanently closed.
Hide-A-Way Lakes operated as a private campground along the Fox River with both RV sites offering full hookups and primitive tent camping areas. The property featured scattered wooded sites with electric, water, and sewer connections for RVs, plus spacious tent spots positioned directly along the riverbank. Campers could access fishing areas and floating opportunities on the Fox River, with bathrooms available though showers were limited near primitive sites.
The campground maintained a laid-back atmosphere with year-round residents alongside transient campers, hosting various events during non-pandemic periods. Visitors found campgrounds near Yorkville for alternative options in the area. The secluded setting provided space to spread out, with mountain biking trails and extensive acreage for exploration, making it suitable for campers seeking river access and a less structured camping environment.
