About Us

Rack & Quack Campground is a private, hunter- and fisherman-focused campground located along the Mississippi River near Hanover, Illinois. Built on generations of family tradition, this campground was created to give outdoorsmen and their families a true home away from home.

Our connection to this land goes back to the 1970s. For decades, multiple generations of our family spent seasons here hunting, fishing, boating, and gathering around campfires along the river. These years shaped not only our love for the outdoors, but our respect for the land, the wildlife, and the local community.

When the original campground closed, the sense of belonging it offered disappeared. Hotels and short-term rentals never replaced what was lost — the friendships, the traditions, and the quiet rhythm of life that comes from returning to the same place year after year.

Rack & Quack Campground was created to restore that experience.

This is not a party campground or large public development. It is intentionally designed as a peaceful, well-managed, seasonal campground with full hookups, clear rules, and a strong emphasis on respect — for neighboring properties, public lands, wildlife, and local hunting culture.

With public hunting and fishing land nearby, a public boat ramp just steps from the gate, and direct access to the Mississippi River corridor, Rack & Quack offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the outdoors the way it was meant to be experienced.

Above all, our goal is simple:
to preserve a place where traditions continue, stories are shared around the fire, and families can return year after year.

Welcome to Rack & Quack Campground — rooted in tradition, built for the outdoors.
