ScoutSecluded and quiet
I have camped there 2-3 times. It has been a while now, but I believe there are 4 sites with tables and fire pits. There is a pit toilet, but no water. But if you drive a few miles North East there is a Illinois State Park, Cave in the Rock I think, and you can refill your water jugs/bladders…
TravelerClean, quiet, and great river views!
Campground is smaller but the sites are spread out well, most have fire ring with grill stand and table, firewood available to gather onsite when I was there, vault toilets, right on the river so may be closed during flood seasons. Will be staying here again!
