2637 Knox Road 2300 E, La Fayette, IL 61449

Enjoy enhanced rustic camping at Frakers Grove with two spacious, well-maintained tent sites designed for comfort and simplicity. Each site includes access to a clean porta-potty, making your stay convenient and worry-free—so you can focus on unwinding in nature.

Camping is open seasonally, from April 1st to October 14th, timed with Illinois’ most enjoyable weather. Our quiet countryside setting comes alive in spring, summer, and early fall—perfect for campfires, stargazing, and peaceful mornings by the pond.

Frakers Grove is closed for camping from October 15th to March 31st each year, allowing the land to rest and reset for the season ahead. We look forward to welcoming you back each spring.

Our stay with Dennis was fantastic! The site was very well maintained, he was perfectly kind and welcoming, and the overall experience was something I'd recommend to anyone. Thanks Dennis!

If you are given the option to stay at the pond go for it! I am traveling in a self contained converted van. The sounds of the birds, water bugs, frogs created a beautiful cacophony. Dennis had firewood so a fire at dusk till darkened night lent another layer to my experience. No one else around just lotsa nature on a pond rimmed with trees and tall grasses in the middle of acres planted in soybean and corn. Dennis was very accommodating. Loved my overnight experience at Frakers Grove On the pond.

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.

I loved the pond side site. It was as described and so private and beautiful. It was exactly what we needed it to be.

I loved my night camping on Dennis's land. When I arrived, he led me back to the campsite which was located next to the pond. It was completely private and surrounded by fields. He told me a bit of the interesting history of the land as well. Once the sun went down I was surrounded by lightening bugs and fell asleep to the sounds of all the little creatures living on the pond. I highly recommend this camp spot if you are truly looking to relax in solitude and enjoy nature.
