    Great family campground

    Really love this Campground! The owners are a young family, with a bunch of kids! They live across the road to handle any issues. The lodge/office is open til 8. Level packed gravel sites. We have a 40’ class A. Plenty of pull thru sites. Back in sites are great too. Lots of trees. Good shade. Well kept grounds. 2 catch and release ponds. Playground. Fire pit. AT&T wireless service. Every weekend has an event. Bluegrass to crafts. Right outside of Jacksonville, Ashland, Virginia, and close enough to Springfield. We were there last weekend and will be there again at the end of the month. Happy Camping!

    Quiet, nice lake!

    Love this place, it’s quiet and peaceful. Not a lot to do but they are trying. Tent camping, RV and a few cabin rentals, boat docks too where you can bring your boat! There are some hiking trails and pavilions and a softball field. There’s a stage they sometimes have plays and bands. I would give it a 5 stars (it’s in my hometown) but they really need some kind of draw. One shower house and a small playground. It’s worth a stay if you are in the area. It’s clean and neat.

    Yogi Bears Jellystone Park at Pine Lakes

    Nice family fun but pricey.

    Great for a family with kids of all ages. The activities are not all day, so plan on some campside entertainment before 10am and after 6pm. Lake blow ups are included in price, but you must have a life vest. Bring your own to save money. Very clean and there is always a campground employee around if you need help. Well worth it if you plan ahead for the extra fees.

    Spring Lake Park - Macomb

    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.

    Nice place!

    Catch and release fishing, small beach area with volleyball. Sites are small but clean. Bath house is clean and well maintained. Live music on the weekend. Definitely a heavy-drinking crowd. Camp store. It's in the middle of nowhere but only about 20 minutes to the nearest small town. No Verizon wireless service here or anywhere for about a 45 mile radius.

    Friendly, quiet, clean

    We were fortunate to find this quiet campground just south of Rushville. Friendly staff, clean restroom & showers. Will definitely stay here again.


Guide to Augusta

Spring Lake Park near Augusta offers glamping accommodations with seasonal availability from early April through late October. The park features extensive trails around the 260-acre lake with multiple water recreation options. Primitive tent sites require a short hike in and provide lakeside views, while RV sites include full hookups. Several cabins and glamping units provide alternatives for those seeking more comfort while still enjoying the natural setting.

What to do

Water activities at the lake: Spring Lake Park provides boat rentals including kayaks, canoes, and pontoons for exploring the water. "Kayak/Canoe/Pontoon rentals. CHEAP primitive camping. Miles of trails. Staff and caretakers keep the trails extremely clean. Excellent views of the large lake the trails go around," notes Nick D. about Spring Lake Park.

Fishing opportunities: The lakes and ponds in the area offer good fishing conditions throughout the camping season. "Always a great experience at spring lake. Fishing, boat rentals, convenience store and shower house are all great. Beautiful and well maintained," reports Adam S.

Hiking trail exploration: Trail systems around several lakes provide hiking opportunities with moderate difficulty levels. "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," describes Mandi C. about her experience at Spring Lake.

Weekend entertainment: For those seeking structured activities, Crazy Horse Campground offers regular weekend events. "Every weekend has an event. Bluegrass to crafts. Right outside of Jacksonville, Ashland, Virginia, and close enough to Springfield," explains Leanne B.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Visitors consistently mention the well-maintained grounds and facilities as a top feature. "We were fortunate to find this quiet campground just south of Rushville. Friendly staff, clean restroom & showers. Will definitely stay here again," shares Mary H. about her stay at Schuy-Rush Park.

Affordable options: The area offers good value camping, particularly for primitive sites. "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. It's the most reasonably priced campsite that we have found so far," mentions Colleen H.

Attentive management: Staff responsiveness and friendliness gets high marks from campers throughout the region. "The owners are fantastic, friendly and caring. They keep the grounds in great shape and always have fun activities to participate in," writes ELLYN P. about Crazy Horse Campground.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Some campgrounds have specific reservation policies that vary by site type. "Need reservation with larger campers," advises Jean M. about Spring Lake Park, while another campground notes, "They don't take reservations but while it is usually full you can still get a spot."

Seasonal operations: Operating dates vary by facility, with most glamping close to Augusta, Illinois shutting down during winter months. Yogi Bears Jellystone Park operates from April 20 through November 15, while Crazy Horse Campground runs from April 1 to October 31.

Additional fees: Some parks charge extra for activities beyond basic camping. "Great for a family with kids of all ages. The activities are not all day, so plan on some campside entertainment before 10am and after 6pm. Lake blow ups are included in price, but you must have a life vest. Bring your own to save money," advises ELLYN P. about Yogi Bears Jellystone Park.

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Family-oriented campgrounds offer structured programs but with limited hours. "The activities are not all day, so plan on some campside entertainment before 10am and after 6pm," notes a visitor to Jellystone Park.

Age-appropriate options: Different glamping facilities near Augusta cater to various age groups. "Came when all the water activities were closed for the season. Cannot wait to come back! Facilities very clean and family oriented. Very fun for kids," shares Nick W.

Supervision expectations: Some campgrounds have specific policies about children. "While we were there, we heard the owner had gotten after a bunch of kids so I guess it's not the type of place you can let some of the older kids run around unattended," observes Leah H. from her stay at Yogi Bears Jellystone Park.

Tips from RVers

Site size considerations: RV campers should check site dimensions before booking. "Level packed gravel sites. We have a 40' class A. Plenty of pull thru sites. Back in sites are great too. Lots of trees. Good shade," reports Leanne B. from Crazy Horse Campground.

Connectivity concerns: Cell service varies significantly throughout the region. "No Verizon wireless service here or anywhere for about a 45 mile radius," warns Sarah S. about Crazy Horse Campground, while another camper notes, "AT&T wireless service" is available.

Seasonal pricing: RV sites with full hookups typically command higher rates during peak season. "This is expensive but has a lot of activities. It is loud and busy on the weekend, which was expected," mentions Megan T. about her Jellystone Park experience.
