Francis City Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Francis City Park sits among tall trees in Kewanee, Illinois, with an open grassy field making up most of the camping area. The layout is small, and access involves driving partly on grass rather than a paved internal road. Electric hookups are available at marked sites, and the campground accommodates rigs up to 60 feet. A pavilion, playground, and picnic tables are on-site, though tables are typically stacked near the pavilion rather than set at individual sites. Restrooms exist but have been reported closed. Campers who want more structured trail access can find options at Johnson Sauk Trail State Park, roughly 2.7 miles northwest. Francis City Park works best for self-contained RV travelers or those making an overnight stop rather than campers seeking a full-service base.

Beautiful, well cared for campground with small town charm

We stumbled upon this campground after spending a night camping in a parking lot along the Hennepin Canal. Another camper walked right over and said he loved it here. They were already going on 2 weeks at Francis Park. It's charm won us over quite quickly.

The campground is small and almost like an open field among tall trees. We drove along a road but part of it was driving on the grass. Sites are marked with electric but I'm not sure if it worked since we are solar. There are many picnic tables but most are piled up by the pavilion. We bring out own table and chairs so we didn't need to pull one over. We didn't see the host but the number is there to call if they have run out of papers by the office.

There is a playground and pavilion. Restrooms are there but closed up. There is a beautiful house that is made into a museum. It was closed due to covid but it looks intriguing. This is a nice, quiet campground tucked in among farmland.

Children would have fun running around the big grassy field but we drove on looking for a longer hiking trail. We found some nearby along with some nice small farm towns.
