Enjoy peaceful and tranquil sunsets with nature at its best. Close enough for all of the excitement and enjoyment yet far enough for the peace that provides quiet relaxation.
Vel Terra Ranch..with over 165 acres, is nestled in one of the most beautiful areas in Northwestern Illinois -- Jo Daviess County, home of President Grant in Galena. With rugged hills, picturesque scenery, abundant trees, wildlife and natural rolling terrain, our campground is the ideal base for exploration of the many exciting natural treasures and activities in the Tri-Sate area.
Vel Terra Ranch (VTR) serves two separate recreational interests:
Camping -at night enjoy the stars instead of streetlights while the flames of a blazing campfire lick at the sky. During the day enjoy our facility and the picturesque countryside surrounding us.
Horse Boarding - delight in riding your own horse on our trails through the timber and hollows enjoying the scenic landscape.
Whether you want to "rough" it on one of our beautiful tent sites or enjoy the comforts of an RV site, VTR offers a variety of services that will meet your camping needs. Come back to basics and make our property your key to a very relaxing getaway.
