Last year campers brought, baked brie, vegetarian chili, spice bread(made in a dutch oven), primal cookies and much more!
There will be a FIREWORKS show right across from our campground area. Make sure to buy battery operated lights and decorate your boat up. At 7:30 we will be paddling over out on the Illinois River area where we will have a venetian boat parade guided kayak tour and then raft up and watch the fireworks show!
Also if you dont have a tent, there are tents for rent.
This event is perfect for the first time camper! We bring grills, ice water(just bring a water bottle & powder drink mix), firewood(for group campfires) and miscellaneous camp things so you don’t have to. We serve up a Full Hot breakfast including Starbucks coffee in the morning complete with eggs, bacon, pancakes for breakfast.
