Emerald Acres Campground

My stay here is not recent! My friends and I were attending a concert in Pecatonica in 1998. We decided to make a weekend of it and went camping as well. We stayed at Emerald Acres. I was 18 years old at the time. My group of friends and I were probably loud and likely obnoxious. When we came in they were full but the owner let us set up shop in a little grassy area that backed to a corn field (I believe… it’s been awhile). At 34 years old I still consider that the most fun weekend of my life. So many of my favorite memories include Emerald Acres. We raised hell in Freeport too (sorry residents for the drive by honkings at 2am) oh and I would also like to apologize to the family that lived right by the campground that had that sweet huge trampoline. My friends dared me to go jump on it at about 3am. I did and got a case of the giggles that ended with me peeing my pants… on your trampoline. I am sorry.
Thanks Emerald Acres for putting up with me and my friends, had to not let us stay I wouldn’t have about 1000 memories that I hold dear to me. We didn’t have phone cameras and facebook back then so all I have is memories. Although it would be pretty cool to see pictures and videos of that. lol
I am planing on taking my little guy camping there soon. I remember we found the coolest park (I think Krape Park) out that way and I would love to go back.
