Campers drive into this Illinois Department of Natural Resources facility where they select their own sites before the host comes around for check-in. The campground accommodates RVs up to 46 feet with electric and water hookups, though no sewer connections are available and some sites share water spigots. Several water outlets and at least one electrical hookup don't function, according to recent visitors.
Sites spread out across natural terrain with minimal concrete pads, giving each spot distance from neighbors. A five-minute drive leads to fishing access, while the nearby town of Oquawka provides supply runs. The facility operates year-round with low occupancy rates - recent campers report having the camping spots around Oquawka largely to themselves. Reservations are available through the state system.
