An iconic red barn greets visitors to Camp Sullivan, where large groups can rent bunkhouses and those looking for privacy can enjoy tent campsites tucked in the woods. With access to the Tinley Creek Trail System, Camp Sullivan is a perfect destination for nature exploration. Even the barn, with a climbing wall and other adventures, is a hub of activity.
