The Best Tent Camping Near Hanks Station, Illinois

Pitch your tent in one of four widely spaced sites. Each site has enough room for multiple tents and includes a fire pit and picnic table. The sites are just a short walk from our shower/restroom facility. The fishing ponds are just a quarter mile walk from the campsites, and access to the numerous trails throughout our 940-acre property is directly from the campsites. While we have four designated sites, it is rare for all to be full, and likely that you'll be the only campers here most days. We are located in a very remote/rural part of Illinois in a county nestled between the Mississippi& Illinois Rivers, but only 75 miles north of downtown St. Louis. We have been included in John Shirle's"The Best in Tent Camping: Illinois."

  

The McCully Heritage Project is a 940- acre environmental center located one mile south of Kampsville in beautiful and remote Calhoun County. We are a private non-profit left as the legacy of Howard and Eva McCully.

Welcome Katy Trail Bike Packers! You can use the basement shower to get the sweat and dirt off after biking along the Katy trail. Sleep in one of our many hammocks beside the river and Enjoy the sounds of birds, wind, and water.

Our farm is located along the Katy trail, just north of Saint Charles. It’s a 40 minute bike ride back into Saint Charles so I recommend eating in town before coming out to enjoy the peaceful nature.

Guests will have the basement shower to themselves. Safe place to store bikes while sleeping outside in the hammocks.

Basement shower is rustic (literally some of the plumbing is rusty) but the water is hot. :)
