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. Our campground, with rugged hills, picturesque scenery, abundant trees, wildlife and natural rolling terrain, 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 -RV and tent camping. During the day enjoy our facility or the hub of activities happening in the picturesque countryside surrounding us. At night enjoy the stars instead of streetlights while the flames of a blazing campfire lick at the sky.
Horse Boarding - Pasture board your horse here and delight in riding 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.
