55I’ve been to several Sniff Spot sites and this is superior! Very secure (I used the extra portable gate to cover the entrance gate) and that gave me peace of mind as my pup is always looking for escape routes. Loved the UIUC tent for shade! Great communication. A+Veronica T.

55My Sammy loved it. He got the zoomies several times while there. I struggle with some mobility issues and can't take him on hikes like we used to. It's so nice to be able to have a safe space for my dog to explore. We will definitely go again.Elaine D.

55Thank you for the welcoming hospitality! We enjoyed running around and playing in the spacious yard. The shade under the trees was amazing and the view to the fields was so beautiful. The yard was also very clean so I didn’t need to worry about the dogs getting into things. There was fresh water for the dogs, which was really nice! We will definitely be coming back again!Chamee K.

55Lena is a great hostess and her yard is indeed HUGE! Apollo had a great time running and sniffing around, especially with all the smells coming from the pasture. The front yard is completely separate from the back, and great for smaller dogs. There’s plenty of shade and seats for humans. Check it out, you and your pup(s) will be happy you did! Chrissy B.

55It was a nice short drive in the country side to get there from where I live. The area is large and well cared for. My dog loved having a milk bone treat thoughtfully available. I got mixed up with satellite directions (my bad) and was late getting there. The host graciously emailed me to stay as long as we wanted and then refunded the cost to my account. That wasn't necessary nor expected. We will definitely go again.Elaine D.

55This spot is lovely! So much space for my big guy to get some good laps around without slowing down! The first reviewer already did a nice job highlighting what makes this property worth the trip, plus Magdalena is a warm, friendly and responsive hostess. Absolutely check this out with your pup(s). We will be back most certainly! Chrissy B.

55This is a perfect spot! So clean and quiet and peaceful. My two younger dogs and my senior tripawd had the best time this morning. I'll be back!! There are trees and the host even put up a canopy and chairs. There was a hose and a small dog pool as well. So thoughtful!! Definitely one of the best spots I've been to in a one hour radius from Bloomington. Thank you!!A. Maria D.

55A great spot not far from campus. Very tall and secure privacy fence with a solid gate. Plenty of space for zoomies. My Apollo enjoyed the sticks he found and was able to reunite with my daughter before our Thanksgiving holiday. We’ll be back for sure! Chrissy B.

FAQ About Champaign Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
