GuidePleasantly surprised
I was pleasantly surprised that this in town park didn't feel in town.
It's on the outskirts of town on the old Chanute AFB. They have lovely tree coverage, it's close to lots of amenities like grocery shopping, sports complex, urgent care, quick interstate access.
If you want to park and go adventure the area, ride the bike path, check out some of the surrounding towns or local shopping it's all right there but doesn't feel right there. Or you can set up and just relax for a long weekend.
Free delivery with purchase of firewood, and if you're not in the mood to cook dominoes delivers too!
Camping, glamping, rv life, you name it, your rig will be happy in this pull through park.

ScoutGood people, nice location
We had some trouble with our sites breaker and everyone was really helpful. Was fixed within the hour. They have bathrooms, laundry, and full hookups. Nice place to stop if you’re traveling through IL.

This is the mobile home park of the decommissioned Chanute Air Force Base repurposed as a campground and operated by the City of Rantoul, so where a mobile home was, it is now a campsite. Streets, sidewalks, curbs and street parking areas still exists. Because of that, all sites are pull-thrus from the perimeter road.
CONS
No senior discount
$3.50 reservation fee for self made online reservation
Rain saturated ground prohibited site pull in. Had to back up over a steep street curb into a non angled site.
Unable to get into originally selected campsite due to insufficient room to back into site, so moved to Site #13.
Street lights throughout campground WiFi available but wasn’t given log on password upon check in and office had closed for the day once we realized we didn’t get the log on password
