About This Lot
Nestled in the quiet countryside of northern Illinois, Camp Cade presents a unique opportunity for campground developers, investors, or outdoor hospitality operators. With 33.15 +/- acres of gently rolling landscape and a peaceful oak savanna setting, this property offers the ideal backdrop for a campground that blends rural charm with modern convenience. Located just outside Freeport and within reach of major population centers, Camp Cade combines excellent accessibility with a tranquil, natural atmosphere. Already approved for campground use through a special use permit, the property offers a strong foundation for development. An interior road system is in place, along with essential utility infrastructure including two wells and an electrical transformer ready for 400-amp electric service. While these systems are currently not in active operation, they are established on-site and provide a head start for final utility setup tailored to your development plans. The layout lends itself well to a mix of RV and tent campsites, and the natural contours of the land provide privacy, shade, and scenic views throughout. Beyond the property boundaries, Camp Cade is surrounded by a diverse array of recreational attractions that make the area a compelling destination. Guests will enjoy direct access to northern Illinois' premier trail systems like the Jane Addams Trail and Pecatonica Prairie Trail, ideal for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Oakdale Nature Preserve and Apple River Canyon, while families and groups can take advantage of Freeport's many local parks, including Krape Park. With a picturesque setting, proper zoning already in place, and numerous nearby attractions to draw visitors, Camp Cade is well-positioned for success. Whether your vision includes a boutique glamping resort, a traditional family campground, or a combination of outdoor recreation and overnight stays, this is a property that offers both flexibility and lasting potential.
