Fort Massac State Park Campground

This this is a great camping area overlooking the Ohio River. The sunrise in the sunsets are absolutely beautiful over the river as they outline the bridge stretching across the river. There is not a lot of barge traffic.

Quiet, spacious, very nice

Surprisingly quiet surroundings. Well maintained spacious campgrounds for tent and RV. Two short trails and a museum to visit along with some nice views of the Ohio River. One snag, in 2011 the buildings of the fort were damaged and the area is still fenced off awaiting repair. They still have reenactments.

All that and Superman too...

Large mostly shaded sites. Nice visitor center but only the first Saturday each month. Nice bike trail through the woods.

Very nice. Large sites.

This state park has large sites.  It is easy access from the highway and a nice quiet spot for the night.  There is a new bath house with nice, private bathrooms/shower combinations.  The roads are paved and some of the sites are gravel.  There are 30 and 50 amp sites, no water or sewer at the campsite.  However, There is a dump station on site and potable water at spigots throughout the park.
There is an on-line reservation system, but you have to make reservations 3 days in advance.  We just showed up and the camp host helped us find a site.  Other campers showed up late and found their own site.  Site reservations are posted on a pole by each site.  Find one without a reservation and the site is yours.

There are areas in the park that get pretty muddy when it rains.

There is a nice large area for tent campers.

There is a new playground area for the kiddos.

The campsites are close to the river and has access to the river.

Beware that signage is poor and we had trouble finding the correct entrance, it is NOT the entrance by the fort and visitor center.

Big rig friendly /Easy access

Nice little park on the side of a small town in metropolis, Illinois
