Heartland Outfitters

The Bush camp, completed in 1998 provides luxury accommodations for up to eighteen guests. The basement level opens onto a lakeside patio and dock built on a six acre lake with excellent fishing and swimming. The lake is well stocked with bass, bluegill, crappie and channel catfish. Boats have electric trolling motors and live wells. An elevated lakeside party house has a small kitchen and screened meeting area to enjoy sunsets on the water with friends and family, over dinner and drinks. Guests can enjoy 3-D archery, hiking and horseback riding on trails into and through Siloam Springs State Park which adjoins our Cook Farm.

The Bush camp is adjacent to the Wildwood girl scout camp, the Buckhorn Ranch, and Siloam Springs State Park which total over 10,000 acres. These areas are either not hunted or quality managed by the State of Illinois. The Heartland Outfitters Bush, Cook, and Troyer farms include more than 2000 contiguous acres also quality managed for large deer, creating a total of over 12,000 acres with large mature whitetail bucks and hundreds of wild turkeys. The genetics of this area produce bucks with exceptional mass, often with abnormal points as featured in Rack Magazine articles in September and October 2004. Nearby golf courses include Arrow Head heights in Camp Point, Westview in Quincy, and Rolling Greens in Mt. Sterling. The Bush camp is an excellent choice for a family vacation or reunion, a corporate retreat, or a hunting adventure.
