1 campground with availability this weekend
Cabins near Kane feature rustic and modern accommodations with varying levels of amenities. McCully Heritage Project in Kampsville and Beaver Dam State Park Campground in Plainview both offer cabin rentals with basic furnishings. Most cabins include electricity, beds, and picnic tables outside. Buena Vista Farms Campground provides modern cabins that overlook a scenic pond, with full access to kayaks and canoes. Cahokia RV Parque offers clean, well-maintained cabins with convenient access to St. Louis attractions. "We rented two cabins for the weekend and loved the place. Cabins were modern and clean overlooking the pond. They offer kayaks, canoes, and peddle boats free to campers," noted one visitor.
Options range from tiny log cabins to spacious family-sized layouts at locations like Yogi Bears Jellystone Park and Country Bend Campground. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location, with many campgrounds allowing dogs for an additional fee. KOA-style cabins at St. Louis NE-Granite City KOA provide the standard amenities travelers expect from the chain. Crazy Horse Campground maintains seasonal cabins open from April through October. A visitor commented that "The park has planted some trees, but they are really just saplings, so there is no shade yet" at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic microwaves to full kitchenettes, though availability varies significantly between locations. Rustic Acres Jellystone provides family-oriented cabins with nearby activity centers and playgrounds. St. Charles County Klondike Park offers "small cabins though pretty basic" according to reviews, making them suitable for short stays rather than extended vacations. Some locations provide on-site convenience stores or camp shops for basic provisions, but stopping for supplies before arrival is recommended as rural locations may have limited nearby shopping options.

"I've been to 370 Lakeside Park many times to walk around the huge lake and to hear concerts in the summer, but I had never camped there. Still haven't. I'll explain."

"Super inexpensive for the space that you get. Free firewood. We have only stayed at the largest site as it has good fishing and a place for us to launch our paddleboards and kayaks."
"We had a picnic and the kids got to play on the playground equipment."
from $20 - $100 / night
"Fire rings with attached rebar grills on a bricked square. Picnic table and lantern post. Small playground near the check in station/camp store. The store is small but will have what you need."
"This park has plenty of trails for all lengths to keep you busy and the camping is spaced out nicely so you are not right on top of each-other."

"We had tram tickets for the arch so we needed a shore power hookup for run the AC for our dog. This was a good spot for that. Some grass and shade, a pool and a playground for the kids."
"Had shade and a nice concrete pad to park on. Good clean power. Clean bathrooms and pool looked like it was taken care of."
"Pet-friendly, full hookups, space for our larger rig and parking around for extra vehicle. Laundry and propane on site. Spaces were a little close together, but minutes from downtown St."
"I specifically would like to point out things that I look for when booking because I’m usually already on the road when trying to find a place to stay. There was after hours check in!"
"This beautiful campground has many things to offer and is only a few minutes from the local drive in movie theater in Litchfield Illinois."

"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."
TravelerCamp Host is very friendly and brought firewood to our site. Bath/shower house was clean. We were in the equestrian campground due to our 73 foot overall length. It was a great stay for visiting family. There are a lot of outdoor activities at the lake area, but no pool.
TravelerThe campsite is nice plenty of spaces spaced out nicely, but there’s absolutely no signage. took us forever to decide where we could park and what to do. tiny little sign on the Rangers house. Led us to a website and then charged us $50. Not what we were expecting. Plan ahead on this one.
ScoutThis is one of the worst state parks I’ve ever visited. The sites are small no water or electricity. Takes 15 minutes from civilization to get there.
TravelerTrails in the area re nice but facilities for this many sites are limited. Sites are close to each other.
ScoutTraveling for the first time with our two Bangal cats. Easy to get to from stl area. Clean bathrooms.
TravelerThis campground is very well taken care of. The kids had plenty of things to do to stay busy and entertained outside.
ScoutSecluded state park but a little hard to get to when pulling a 34 foot fifth wheel. Lots of ups and downs on the road. Love the fact that you are absolutely in the hills of Troy MO with nothing else around you. We stayed during the week the end of August and there were hardly anyone else here. Very quiet. No road noise whatsoever. You felt very much in the woods.
ScoutIts fine. Nothing snazzy. Its in more of an industrial area so its kind of loud with the trains going by and whatnot. Mostly an RV site. 9 tent sites (first come first serve on spot) and a handful of cabins.
LegendThis campground was easy to find, as both our GPS and the campground signs led us right to the city park and campground entrance. Check-in begins at 2:00 p.m., but we called ahead and were graciously allowed to arrive an hour early. We checked in and proceeded to back-in Site 426 with full hookups. As the last site in the campground, the curve in the road made for an exceptionally easy back-in. The concrete pad easily accommodated our 40-foot toy hauler and F-450, with utilities conveniently located near the center of the site and no issues connecting two sewer hoses. Water pressure was adequate, and the 50-amp electric performed flawlessly. The campground's four loops have mostly younger trees, so satellite reception should not be a problem in most sites. Although we brought our Starlink, we used our T-Mobile Home Internet instead, averaging 217 Mbps download and 21.5 Mbps upload. The campground information sheet mentioned Wi-Fi, but we never saw a network to join and didn't inquire further since our internet worked well. We received three bars on Verizon and two bars on T-Mobile. The campground has a nice fenced dog park that's large enough to actually throw a ball, plus a paved walking and biking trail that circles the lake. The office also sells ice and firewood, and the dump station is located behind the office. Many sites offer lake views, and the RV sites are generally well spaced. We noticed Loop 100 has all concrete pads, the first two rows of Loop 200 are concrete with the remaining sites primarily gravel except for some end sites, Loop 300 is reserved for primitive camping and tents, and Loop 400 has a mix of concrete and gravel sites. The center rows of the RV loops are pull-throughs. One thing to be aware of is that the campground has begun charging short-term campers for electricity. We weren't informed about it during check-in, although our traveling companions were shown how to monitor their usage online. The information sheet we received only referenced weekly and monthly electric charges. Even with hot weather and occasionally running three air conditioners during our three-day stay, our electric charge was only about $14. We departed without stopping at the office and received a checkout email about an hour after the noon checkout time. The St. Louis area is our home base, and in our opinion, this is the best RV park in the area and the one we most often recommend to our RV friends.
Cabin accommodations near Kane, Illinois range from rustic log structures to modern units with full kitchens. Many state parks and private campgrounds in the region maintain cabin rentals that open seasonally from April through October, with most requiring advance reservations.

Fishing access at multiple locations: St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park offers lakeside cabin proximity with fishing opportunities. "We love going here and watching the sunsets. This is a great place to kayak and camp if you don't want to drive that fare and live in the city," notes one visitor to St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.
Hiking trails: Beaver Dam State Park features multiple walking paths suitable for different skill levels around its central lake. A visitor at Beaver Dam State Park Campground observed, "There is a nice walking trail path that goes around the exterior of the lake. The lake has boat access and some good fishing spots. There is also a restaurant and store on the lake."
Winter cabin stays: Unlike seasonal options, several cabin sites remain open year-round. "Excellent condition quiet. Been there many times. Love it," reports a winter visitor to Beaver Dam State Park, making it suitable for off-season cabin rentals when many other facilities close.

Bathroom facilities: Clean, accessible shower houses near cabin sites rate highly in reviews. "The shower house was nice, with one small shower stall and large ADA shower stall. Camp host was friendly and helpful," mentions a camper at Beaver Dam State Park, highlighting accessibility considerations often overlooked.
Cabin amenities: Variation exists between basic and deluxe cabin options. A visitor to Cahokia RV Parque noted practical details: "The grounds, pool, laundry, and bathrooms were all in excellent repair and clean. The park was quiet, but very family friendly. The spots are roomy enough, given that you're situated less than 15 miles from downtown St. Louis."
Seasonal limitations: Many cabin sites operate within restricted seasons. "Quiet midweek in tent camping area except for heavy equipment in field nearby. Large campground with open space and playground for kids. Short walk to beautiful lake," observed a fall visitor to Beaver Dam State Park.
Cabin specifications: Most cabin layouts are compact with basic furnishings. "The campground had an interesting set up. The sites in the loops are gravel and you have room but not a lot of privacy," reports a visitor regarding site spacing.
Advance booking requirements: Holiday weekends require early reservations. At Country Bend Campground, one camper appreciated "Super great people helped accommodate us on a holiday weekend for a baseball tourney we were playing in," though such last-minute availability is uncommon.
Look for cabin-specific amenities: Family-friendly options include game rooms and playgrounds. "We had a great time with lots of activities to keep the kiddos busy," notes a visitor to Country Bend Campground, highlighting the importance of on-site entertainment.
Water activities: Cabins near ponds or lakes offer additional recreation. "This is a really great campground! Huge campground with a lot of different areas. We really loved the bridges with trails to ponds, and the jumping pillow," observed a family at Country Bend.
Consider activity schedules: Weekend programming enhances cabin stays for families. At Rustic Acres Jellystone, "Great fun for all ages. Spent the weekend here and let's just say it was a blast! Great fishing, nice price for all the amenities. Everything was so much cheaper than those big campgrounds and you get a lot for the price."
Proximity to attractions: Cabin locations serve as bases for regional exploration. "This is not a rural campground. It's a centrally located campground in the Metro St. Louis area. It's close to interstates and it's a short drive across the river to Missouri attractions," explains a visitor to Cahokia RV Parque.
Off-season advantages: Winter cabin rentals often come with reduced rates and crowds. "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," reports a fall visitor exploring cabin options outside peak season.
Utilities and connectivity: Cabin electricity and heating systems vary significantly. "The nicest spots are the ones by the lake, with only one neighbor and a better view of the lake. The staff are kind and helpful. Water and electric worked fine. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table," explains a cabin user at St. Peters' 370 Lakeside Park.
