Weldon Springs State Park Campground

Had a nice site on loop by the lake, but not on the lake. A short walk downhill though the trees. We were able to tie up our canoe there once we launched it by the concession stand. 
Facilities were clean and fairly spacious. 
The trails were lovely but the best part was watching the hummingbirds at the north, marshy end of the lake. We sat and were amazed at how many there were.
Also nice is the old schoolhouse museum and the friendly volunteers there. The history of the park is fascinating, many famous historical people once came to the site when it was a Chataqua. 
 Canoeing on the lake is great, and many people were out fishing. 
Nearby Clinton is an interesting historic town. 

Beautiful park

Great place to camp. Showers are cleaned daily. Host on site always ready to help. Good fishing near by with walking trail surrounding pond. Plenty of wildlife friendly locals.

Family Friendly

we have come here several major holiday weekends and had no issues with the packed campground. showers we're warm and welcome. Made lots of friends and grandkids had a ball with other kids. campground is clean, flush and pit toilets. Hosts were always helpful.

Nice State Park

It’s a nice Illinois state park. Very quiet. Clean bathrooms, the consecution stand is closed. So can’t rent boat etc. but a nice lake to paddle canoe/kayak .
With all the rain we hade the bugs were  as to be expected.
Will go back .

Very nice campground 

Campsites are the perfect size.  
Showers are clean &amp; the water is hot. 
Trails are well kept &amp; new fishing decks are wonderful.

Great Week-end Get-a-way

We came on Memorial Day weekend so the campground was very full. It didn't feel too crowded though except when playing on the playground there were lots of kids and its not a very big play area. But it was fun for the kids to play with other kids. 

  

While I wish the tent are and comfort station were closer to one another, the walk really wasn't all that bad from our campsite. I loved that the tent sites (especially as you go further back (like to sites 6-10 probably) just had a secluded woodsy feeling to them. I loved how convenient our site was though being right by our car and the road to the restrooms. 

  

Some of the tent sites are close together with some having a little more seclusion. There are a  lot of trees and plants with it being in the woods so this does help. But with the trail running right down the middle that cuts out a little of your privacy. But the seclusion is definitely better than the RV sites that we saw in the main big loop of the campground. 

  

We walked a couple trails and they were lots of fun for us and the kids/dogs. 

  

There is a STRICT no alcohol rule in the tent sites. A sign said coolers are subject to inspection, but from our experience and the vibe of the place, I don't see this really being an issue unless your group gets kind of rowdy ;) 

  

All in all a great experience.

Loved the Hike-in Sites

We camped there for a long weekend. It served our needs. We were there for a rally that was held in Leroy. We didn't spend a lot of time at our campsite but when we did it was very pleasant and peaceful. We saw alot of people walking, kids riding bikes, people fishing, just good old fashioned family fun.  People were friendly,  respectful and kind. 


Beautiful place

Stopped here for a quick overnight on a cross country trip. The 10 sites in the tent-only wooded area weren’t very appealing(no grass/uneven terrain) except for the ones furthest from the parking area. We didn’t feel like hauling our tent and stuff all the way in, only to haul it out first thing in the morning. Since there were few campers, we opted for site 81 which had nice grass and close parking. Made for great sleeping, but the bugs(chiggers?) were horrible and left us with painful itchy bites for the rest of our vacation. The camp host was very friendly and fun to chat with.
