Summer is coming and for our family, it's hard to pick where to go.  For two reasons:

1) We can't afford to travel

2) We don't have the money to go anywhere

So we end up going to the usual crowded and commercialized vacation spots. However, if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in nature? Look no further than Timber Lake Resort, a 1955 campground located in the peaceful town of Mt. Carroll, Illinois.
