Camelot Christmas Tree Farm
Cut-your-own Christmas trees · DeKalb, Illinois · DeKalb County
A DeKalb County tree farm on Somonauk Road with a wide mix of firs, spruces and pines, one price for every tree and free cookies and hot chocolate in a heated shed.
Saws and twine are on hand, and shaking and baling are free once your tree is cut. The fields include concolor, Fraser, Canaan, Douglas and balsam fir, blue and white spruce, and white and Scotch pine, and pre-cut trees sell for the same price as the ones you cut.
Warm up in the heated shed with cookies and hot chocolate. Well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome. Bring cash or a check, since cards are not taken, and come early in the season because the farm closes when it sells out.
