Riverfront Park Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Anglers can cast lines directly from the dock at this municipal campground, where campers have caught freshwater drum from the Illinois River. Riverfront Park Campground sits along the water in Havana, providing electric and water hookups at each site along with fire pits and picnic tables. The facility operates year-round with restrooms housed in an on-site nature center, though no shower facilities are available.

Sites offer river views but are positioned back from the immediate waterfront in an open layout without privacy screening. Street noise from two busy roads can be noticeable, particularly at night when local traffic passes by. A dump station handles RV waste needs, and a short hiking trail provides additional recreation nearby. For different camping experiences in the region, Evening Star Camping Resort offers more amenities about eight miles east.

Small municipal campground on the IL river with basic hookups and helpful host. Noise from busy streets and lack of privacy are consistent concerns, though location offers river access.

Decent.

It’s a small “campground” right on the river with bathrooms, electric, and water. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table as well. The main issue here is that it’s between two busy streets and everyone with a loud truck in this town wants to drive by the river at night. It’s also completely out in the open, so there’s no privacy, which is made worse by the bright street lights that light up this entire place. Other than noise and privacy, it’s a nice place. Price as of Nov. 2025 is $35/night.

Very friendly, clean campground

Camped here for the first time, and we will be back. Deb the campground host is super nice and will help you out with whatever you need. The campground is on the IL river and has water and electric hookups. No sewer, but there is a dump station on site. Caught a couple freshwater drum off the dock. Havana has a few good bars to check out all walking distance from the campground. $30 a night and it does book up so be sure book in advance. Also there is a short trail to hike close by as well.

Rv park on the waterfront

This is a small municipal campground. There is a host but must not live on site in the evening. My neighbors had a large group ..with kids...and they partied til midnight. Did not appreciate that! Sites have electric and water. Bathrooms are in the nature center, no showers. You can see the water but not camped by it. Nice park but very noisy for the price. $20
