Solid basics

This was a walk up quick overnight for me. Plenty of sites available and self registering was easy(cash or check only). Tent loop was surprisingly dark at night for how close to town you are. There is a train somewhere in the area that I heard few times. Interior of the loop had more level sites…

Closed Off Tent Camping

Although we camped in Illinois record rainfall, we still had a blast. Plenty of trees to hammock, clean bathrooms, and a great river view.

Nice quiet stay on the banks of the river

Nice level electric only site. Had to run into town to get ice and wood. The nearby town of Marseilles is very quaint.
