Riverside Park sits along the Sangamon River in Springfield, Illinois, managed by the municipality and open May through October. RV sites include electric, water, and sewer hookups for rigs up to 35 feet, and the campground also accepts tent campers, though the two site types share the same area. Showers, toilets, and drinking water are on-site. The Illinois State Fair Grounds are close by, and a commercial strip with restaurants and shopping is within easy reach. A boat launch on the river is accessible by car, though the walk from campsites is roughly a mile. City light from Springfield limits stargazing to the north. Rates run $20 to $50 per night, and pets are allowed.
