    Hidden Jewel

    I have camped at this park several times over the last few years. Especially like winter truck camping here. The pit toilets are always available in the winter, and I usually have the park to myself. There’s a small fishing pond off the road a bit. The trails will be closed for deer season though. I enjoy riding my bike around the park and down to the actual college. There is a really old cemetery at the college if you just want to creep yourself out at night.

    Nice little lake and camp ground

    I've stayed here a couple times now. Each time there has only been one other person. It's quiet and peaceful, however there's not much to do. As far as I know there's no running water. There are portable toilets that are kept clean. There's also a 4 consecutive day per month limit.

    Peaceful and low key

    Excellent campground for those who want to relax and have quiet time. Nature trails are nicely groomed and mowed. Not a lot of amenities for families with young kids but bring your own corn hole bags and badminton. Nice for adults who want some peace and quiet.

    Primitive Campground — Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area

    State Park away from busier Illinois

    https://camp.exploremoreil.com/ 84 electric RV sites all reservable except 21 First Come sites. 18 sites are full hookup. Several 50 amp sites but majority are 30 amp. Modern Shower house and 7 Vault toilet buildings. Newer Campground so Shade Trees are smaller still. Have camped here 4 times past 3 years. Like the quite agricultural Illinois environment but suggest shopping for your needs prior to leaving larger cities as most of the few small towns are limited to a Bar and Dollar store.

    Great Friendly, Family Park

    We certainly didn’t expect the Prairie Lake Campground to be full in late October! Both loops were full, but there was just enough space for us to squeeze in for 2 nights! (A few spaces seemed to be filled with deer hunters who were up and out quite early.) Site has electricity with water centrally located in the center of the loop. We needed a 100 ft fresh water hose to fill up. Luckily a friendly neighbor had one for us to borrow! Nice warm bath house had push button showers with locks on the stalls with a dry space to dress inside the stall. Lake has boat dock with about 6 slips. The point on the lake was a beautiful setting for a fall wedding on Saturday! Lots of families with kids riding bikes around the loop and some playing wiffle ball in the open field. Each spot had a picnic table and fire ring. Our spot, #78 sat under a tree with great shade. Bagged ice is available at 1st host site for $4 and a bundle of firewood for $6

    Stayed for one night

    Sites are level if you have a smaller rig. Longer trailers will struggle to get level. Our trailer is 40 ft and we had to switch sites to one that allowed us to level. Otherwise, it's a nice and quiet campground. There is a dump station and fresh water fill station. The sites are electric only.

    Quiet and Pleasant

    My wife and I were homeless for a month and needed to break out the tents. We had a pleasant and fairly private experience. Each site is spread out and fairly well. Be mindful of field roaches and raccoons at night, as we had to learn the hard way the morning after our first night. Oh, and the mosquitoes are BRUTAL. Come prepared.

    Great for equestrian and hiking but not much shade in the other loop

    This is a large state park with separate camping loops. The equestrian loop was popular and we saw many there. It has plenty of shade and even what looked to be a horse water trough. 

    The non-equestrian loop was not as nice. There are a few spots with morning shade but the whole place will get that hot afternoon sun. We saw a couple RVs running a/c with the electric sites. There is a central picnic shelter. Maybe this will be better when the younger trees grow tall enough to be shadier. 

    There are some grass covered hiking trails that are wonderful. A few picnic areas add up with some fishing spots to make this a great place to enjoy. We found that it was close enough to another state park to camp there and travel back for day visits.

    I’m giving it 3 stars not as a punishment or sign of anything wrong...I’m considering 3 stars as average. Not big pros or cons in my opinion. I’d say most of the sites are comparable. We stayed in Loop A and the shower house is in Loop B. Our biggest dislike for the CG is there’s no good way to get to the shower house from A unless you walk or drive out to the main road or cut through someone’s site (which we won’t do if it’s occupied). I don’t mind being a distance from the shower house, but we felt uncomfortable sending our kids there alone. CG hosts were nice. No firewood or ice available on site. All the trails we saw were mowed paths. Potential to see lots of wildflowers if your timing was right. We also saw lots of wild berry blooms (raspberry or black raspberry, not sure). Several day use picnic areas available. Shower houses were ok. Older but in decent condition. All in all I’d say this is your average, no frills, State Park CG. We wouldn’t spend a week here, but for only being 45 minutes from home, it’s a good place to spend a weekend camping.

    Nice of the beaten path campground on a lake

    The campground is nice and well maintained and sites are fairly well spaced with lots of grass and open areas. We were in site 26, one of the FHU sites, for 10 days. Most of the sites were deceptively unlevel though. Our front wheels were about 4” off of the ground on our 36’ Class A, even though the reservation system lists the grade as“None”. Our site also had a fairly large but shallow depression on the passenger side of the pad that filled with water and got muddy when it rained, which it did the entire week. The water did tend to drain quickly, but the mud persisted for a little while. AT&T coverage was“inconsistent”, generally with 1-2 Bars and speeds between 0.15 to 0.75 MB/s, but usually around or less than 0.4 MB/s. Although the campground is supposed to have WiFi for purchase through a 3rd party, I was unable to get a stable connection to it. There is no cable, but we did have DISH satellite coverage at our site, as would most of the sites, as there are only fairly small trees in the campground itself, and I didn’t test OTA DTV channels.

    The sewer opening was quite a bit larger than any of our adapter rings, and although we had dumped our gray tank several times during our stay, on the last two days, the sewer drain did backup and spill out a little, so be aware and watch closely. It also happened to one of our neighbors as well the same day. The park staff, who were very friendly and helpful, are aware of the issue and are trying to look into it.

    There are several trails around the campground area, but it was cold and rainy the entire week we were there, and so unfortunately didn’t get to hike any, but would have liked to. This park is really off of the beaten path, so be sure to stock up groceries, propane, etc. before arriving.

    Beautiful State Park

    My favorite thing about Jubilee is how quiet it is. The abundant forest, trails and the creek going through the park make this an ideal place to visit during spring and fall. Summer is ok too but may get a bit hot in Central Illinois for my taste. The campsites and campground are very nice. Electric only with water available and a dump station. Great local piece of nature and peace to disconnect and reset.
