Archway RV Park

RV travelers passing through southern Illinois find a convenient overnight stop at Archway RV Park, positioned just off Interstate 64 near Mount Vernon. The campground accommodates rigs up to 65 feet with full hookups, though sites are arranged in a parking lot-style layout where RVs face each other across narrow strips of grass.

The close proximity between units means campers share minimal outdoor space with their neighbors. Mary H. notes the layout creates a situation where "your door opens up facing your neighbors door and you actually share about a 4 foot wide strip of grass between trailers." Sites provide 50-amp electrical service exclusively, so 30-amp users need adapters. Despite the tight spacing, the grounds feature landscaping with trees and flowers throughout the property.

A small pond on the property gives dog owners a walking loop and wildlife viewing opportunities. The campground includes indoor common areas and outdoor family spaces, plus standard amenities like restrooms with showers and WiFi access. Staff members receive praise from multiple visitors for their accommodating approach, particularly for late arrivals and problem-solving when booking issues arise.

Access roads can become muddy during rainy periods, and highway noise carries from the nearby interstate and local roads. The location puts restaurants and services within easy reach at the same exit. Alan G. summarizes the experience: "Otherwise, the place was nice, convenient, clean, etc."

Book ahead during peak travel seasons, as the campground can fill up and overbook on busy days.

Many visitors reported excellent hospitality from friendly staff and good value for overnight stays. However, recurring comments addressed the close site spacing with doors facing neighbors, creating privacy concerns for some guests.

Great service

I called a day in advance and was able to schedule a reservation, the lady on the phone was very nice. Upon arrival I was greeted nicely and checked in quickly. While beginning setup, I noticed an issue with the power at my particular spot and decided to let the staff know of the issue. They offered to move us to another spot and were very nice. The WiFi works great as I was able to stream anything I wanted on Hulu. There is a nice playground and dog park as well as a pond at the location. Great place to stop traveling through or for a weekend.

Great campground

Sites are nice, although all sites face each other meaning you will be 5-10 feet from your neighbors if you are sitting out front. Full-hookups with only a 50amp connection so if you are using 30 make sure you have a 50/30 adapter. Overall very nice campground, well maintained.

Quiet, well organized

This was a one night stay. Gravel sites arranged like a parking lot but large enough for big rigs. Trees and flowers all about. 50 amps only.

Avoid this shabby campground

This was our unfortunate experience at this park!

While setting up on our lot I noticed that the park layout was such that your door opens up facing your neighbors door and you actually share about a 4 foot wide strip of grass between trailers,,absolutely no privacy if you wanted to sit outside! We could not even open our awning as it would have hit the awning next to us! Tiffany(the manager/owner)? happened to come by at that time and asked if everything was ok. I asked if there were any sites where the doors didn’t face each other. She got totally belligerent and asked if there was a problem with our neighbors. I said of course not, I just didn’t want to be eyeball to eyeball with them. She said“what do you expect for$45?”!!! And also said this was not uncommon@ proceeded to try and lecture me on how commonplace this was! We have been rving for over 25 years through at least 30 states and this is the first time I have ever encountered this situation! And the fact that I didn’t go to Tiffany with a complaint, she actually stopped and made the inquiry and then got very nasty when I raised the question. Apparently Tiffany is very personable as long as you don’t ask a question of her! A simple“all of our sites face each other” would have sufficed, but she chose to make it into a confrontational issue! This is a marginal park at best, I can’t imagine how it has a Good Sams designation, if for no other reason than the bizarre layout of the sites! I would never stay here again(or at any park where you actually share your neighbor’s only area for a minimum degree of privacy!) Our neighbors were lovely people but I’m sure they were not comfortable with being right on top of their neighbors either! In addition, these sites are VERY close together! Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!

Overbooked so when we arrived there’s was only an electric site available

We booked a full service site and arrived prior to the stipulated 7 pm checking in time. However, the manager stated that they overbooked that day so we were only offered to stay in an electric only site. Manager offered no apology or discount. Finally, and in the presence of the manager, Will gave us the site at a heavily discounted price and even gave us a couple bottles of water and $.50 to buy additional hugs of water at the water/ice machine on the property. Huge kudos to Will for that. I suggest management to follow Will’s lead and make this Good Sam club a place to stay. Otherwise, the place was nice, convenient, clean, etc.

Primarily RV

I am tent camping as I travel westbound. This is primarily a RV park near I-64 and on a highway. Noisy!! Bad noisy. Camp site was nice. Grassy, level, near a picnic shelter with tables. Shade trees. But only about 2-3 such sites. No on sight water or electric. There are 2 private room restrooms with showers & sink. These are shared by all. Basics. Lots of stores & restaurants nearby.

Convenient and Cute

While we are new to camping, we know about thoughtful and caring hosts. That's how it feels at Archway -- clean, cute, super convenient.

The outside area is made for families to play and relax and enjoy time together, and the indoor spaces are cozy and designed for the comfort of the guests.

Enjoyed it.

Excellent layover spot

We travel between Charleston,SC and Omaha, NE several times a year and always stay here on return trip. Long first day drive, but so handy and staff couldn’t be more accommodating to our late arrivals. Just far enough from Interstate so noise isn’t an issue. Lots of services at the same exit.

Ehhh, ok.

My family and I stayed here just passing through and we checked in with the very friendly staff... The campground itself was not the greatest, but okay for just one night passing through! It’s location was great for us, traveling west, being about 45 min. out of St. Louis, MO. The site was pretty muddy, but they had been experiencing lots of rain. Wouldn’t recommend for a vacation, but for one night, passing through, it will be more than suitable!

We loved it!

We booked this on the road, and even though the office was closed, a site had been reserved and marked for us. Owner came out early the next morning to check on us, and refund our overpayment (due to lack of exact funds) Very sweet owners!
