Spring Lake Park - Macomb

8 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Municipally managed and open from early April through late October, Spring Lake Park in Macomb, Illinois gives campers a choice between full-hookup RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections and primitive walk-in sites that require a decent hike before reaching the lakeshore. A dump station, showers, drinking water, and WiFi round out the hookup side of the campground, while the primitive area runs first-come, first-served. Reservations are available for those who want to plan ahead.

The lake is the main draw. Canoe, kayak, and pontoon rentals are available on-site during warmer months, and fishing is a consistent activity across multiple visits. Trails loop around the entire park, and staff keep them in notably clean condition. Wildlife sightings, including cranes, ducks, and geese near the reservoir, are common. Campers should note the geese can be territorial. A convenience store on the property adds a practical layer for resupply. Many of the longer-term residents occupy sites seasonally, but reviewers report finding shady, low-traffic spots without much difficulty.

The bathhouses are described as clean but dated. Adam S. notes that "fishing, boat rentals, convenience store and shower house are all great," which reflects a consistent pattern across reviews. Pricing draws repeated mention as a reason campers return. Pets are allowed. Campers looking for a different setup in the region can explore Twin Oaks Campground at Argyle Lake State Park to the southwest, or browse campsites near Macomb for additional options.

Just lovely so spacious and clean. Gorgeous view of lake from cabins.

Friendly staff. Kayak and Pontoon to rent. Trails go all over the entire park! Clean showering facilities. Our furnished cabin faced the lake it was an incredible view.  We had fun fishing and sitting by the campfire in the evenings. Overall definitely worth the 5 stars!!!! Thanks Ryan and all of the staff out there! We will revisit soon.

Great Spot

We are so thankful we found this park. Most occupants are simi-annual residents, but there are still several nice, quiet, shady spots to be found. Everyone is friendly. There are 2 clean but dated bathhouses available. It’s the most reasonably priced campsite that we have found so far.

My favorite spot

I’ve camped here several times at the primitive sites. It’s a decent hike in but once you get there, the view of the lake is worth it. It’s just a nice, peaceful place to camp. I’ve always been able to find a campsite since it is first come first serve. The host is very friendly and seems like he’s been the host there for years. They have canoes to rent and you’re bound to see cranes and ducks along the way. Just be weary of the geese by the reservoir because they can be moody! My boyfriend and I try to go at least once a year because we just love it there.

Great Park

The lake is great for boating and fishing and there are boats for rent during the warmer seasons. The camp grounds are good and there are a few small cabins for rent. There are also hiking and biking trails around the lake.
