The Best Camping Near Mackinaw, Illinois

My family camped here in a RV for 21 years till my step dad passed away. My friends and I camp here in a tent occasionally. I highly recommend this campground.

Very clean and family oriented.

We stayed here last year and will likely stay there again this year when we are back in Illinois. The park has two sides, one side closer to the stage. We haven’t been there when they have shows, so I can’t speak to what that is like. When we were there it was lovely. There is plenty of shade, sites are large enough for our Class A and they are pet friendly.

Great for families or just a quiet getaway!

FHU, shower house, no laundry but there are small towns close by that have stores, gas, and laundry facilities. On Saturday night they offer classic country music free. Special events throughout the summer. Two fishing ponds. No license required. Catch and keep. Nice big areas with playgrounds for kids. Bouchée ball courts. 

Large RV Park

Spaces are tight. Most are pull-though but there isn’t a lot of room between campers so don’t expect much privacy. Grounds are very well kept and they have two nice ponds stocked with fish. Because of COVID, the opry house wasn’t open, the camper store took appointments only, and playground was closed—but that playground looked fantastic! Shower houses were small but clean. Full hookups on most sites from what we could see. There are a LOT of long-term campers there. 

Nice campground

Easy to find large campground. This place has seasonal spots as well.  They will have a runner guide you to your spot and assist you in parking. The sites are a bit cramped.  When Unhitching if there is anyone waiting to drive by, you feel kind of rushed.  Don’t let it make you forget wheel chocks or something important. They have a nice pond. They also have a kids play area in the Hollar, Complete with a giant slide.  They will deliver firewood to you, or there is a farm around the corner on the main road toward Casey’s, that also sells firewood.  There is no cell/LTE reception out here (Sprint or Verizon). We drove to Casey’s for a pizza and got a small cell signal there. If you like to watch movies, I recommend bringing a DVD player since you likely won’t be able to stream Netflix etc. The country music Opry was held outside because of a virus or something. It was a nice extra treat.  There was an ice cream truck on hand during the show, for a $5 or so per item. We were located close to the park and pavilion, and the first morning we woke up to some kind of faint banging outside.  I though someone was fixing a building, but it turned out to be acorns falling onto the pavilion roof.  It wasn’t terrible but suggest requesting a site away from the pavilion if it might bother you.  Overall a good experience, we’ll be back.

Community feel, a bit cramped

Great people and positively  the best camp ground in my area 

Best place I have found to camp

Great place for kids. Decent little parks. Huge slide in the holler. Spots are kind of cramped and close together, one of our favorite places though!
