Seward Bluffs Forest Preserve

This is a nice campground that winds around through some light woods. Campsites have electric hookups. There are certainly lots of picnic tables. We saw more than one per site. With only a few people camping here, there was plenty of space between campers. There is no separating vegetation though. 

  

A bike path in Pecatonica which is just down the road. Camp here and day trip on the bike path or use this as a stop for your long distance bike tour. 

  

This is a great campground to get away near a nice small town.

Great campground near a rails-to-trails type of path

 Off the beaten path, most people who come to this area will likely go to the much larger and better known Rock Cut State Park. This is a small forest preserve with lovely picnic areas, a picturesque creek and an outcropping of bluffs ( about 3 storeys tall).  
 The campground is well maintained, with the cleanest pit toilets I've ever seen. (also ADA accessible).  
 There are about 40 sites, ranging from primitive tent to full size pull-through RV.  30 and 50 amp elec available. Prices based on what you choose. Reservations are recommended a week ahead through the Winnebago County Forest preserve website. There is a small fee for non-residents, but it's worth it.  
 we went in November, so I can't say what it's like during peak season. But sites are well spaced, though they are all open to each other visually.  
 Nearby are bike trails and the Pecatonica river, with other forest preserves for day trips out of the camp.  
 This is one of three campgrounds run by the county. We have stayed at another, Sugar River, and enjoyed it as well.

This place is awesome! The whole winnebago county system is wonderful, but the trails and views here, along with the quiet is my fave.
