Fort Kaskaskia State Park Campground

Off season privacy and electric. Nicely wooded too!

Stayed here last fall and really loved the fall colors and views this park has to offer.  I can't say the facilities were great - there were only vault toilets and no showers that I saw.  Relatively small loop for RVs.  Sites weren't exactly great.  I ended up landing one of the paved sites, which had lots of space and I believe may have been handicapped.  The park wasn't busy and I was able to stay a few extra days.  Suggest checking it out in the fall when the leaves are changing as it was absolutely gorgeous.

Mid week stay. Great pads for our little tear drop, easy access. Pit toilets could have been cleaner, but fine. Quiet. Clean. Nice view of the Mississippi. Didn’t find showers mentioned in another review.

Large level sites with electric. Water available mid campground and at dump station. Good antenna service , 2 bars T Mobile 2 large handicapped sites with concrete pads

Fort Kaskaskia State Historic Site is located on the remains of historic Fort Kaskaskia, constructed by the French in the 1700s to defend the town of Kaskaskia. Founded in 1703, the town was a central commercial center. The fort was periodically occupied by French or U.S. troops until 1807.

The remnants of Fort Kaskaskia include long earthworks forming a rough square. A footpath leads to the Pierre Menard Home State Historic Site, located at the bottom of the bluff.

Near the pavilion, which was recently rebuilt after being destroyed by a fire, you can get sweeping view of the Mississippi river below. The overlook area includes picnic shelters with tables and grills.

The campground includes tent-camping and RV sites, 32 are electric sites. There is a bathroom and shower building.
