Best RV Parks & Resorts near Oglesby, IL

Starved Rock Campground accommodates RVs with electric hookups and 50-amp service on level sites across multiple loops. The east loop offers more shade and privacy compared to the west loop, though navigation through the single-lane roads requires caution for larger motorhomes. Nature's Way RV Park provides full-hookup sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections on open, flat terrain about 5 minutes from Starved Rock State Park. Millpoint Park offers pull-through sites for big rigs with 50-amp service, though some RV sites throughout the region feature powdery gravel surfaces that become muddy during rain. "Our site was Creekside and supposed to be ok for RV. We have a 31' class A. We barely made it up to the site - which was mud."

Most campgrounds near Oglesby remain open year-round, though fall weekends fill quickly during peak foliage season when the nearby state parks draw visitors. Dump stations are available at Starved Rock and Nature's Way, though positioning can be challenging at some facilities. A camper noted that dump station access at one park requires navigating "up a hill with sharp turns, one way in and out - single lane." Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with reviewers reporting just 1-2 bars on major carriers at wooded sites. Pets are permitted at nearly all RV parks, though some enforce breed restrictions or leash requirements. Several parks offer on-site propane fill services, and most maintain shower facilities, though quality and cleanliness vary considerably between established resorts and more basic RV parks.

Guide to Oglesby

Campgrounds near Oglesby, Illinois offer visitors electric sites with varying levels of shade and terrain. The camping area sits in north-central Illinois along the Illinois River, with elevations ranging from 450-600 feet. Most campgrounds remain accessible year-round though amenities like water hookups may be unavailable during winter months when temperatures can drop below freezing.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Millpoint Park provides access to the Illinois River and small fishing lakes where campers can catch various species. "We were able to do some fishing and kayaking. We caught some bluegill, buffalo, and large mouth bass," notes one camper at Millpoint Park.

Hiking nearby trails: The area features multiple state parks with diverse trail systems. "If you are a hiker and looking for some trails to blaze, then check out either Starved Rock SP, which has more than 13 miles of hiking trails awaiting you, or better, the lesser known Matthiessen SP, which has 5-6 of fairly decent challenging, but completely isolated, non-touristy-laden trails," recommends a visitor to Nature's Way RV Park.

Swimming options: Several campgrounds maintain pools for summer recreation. At Glenwood RV Resort, "amenities go, there's quite a bit: horseshoe pits, catch & release pond, covered pavilions, kitchen, telephone area, shower/restroom facilities, game room, 2 kid's playground, trading post, swimming lake, in-ground pool and kid's pool with outdoor deck, tennis court, baseball diamond, volleyball and basketball court."

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campgrounds near Oglesby feature larger-than-average campsites. A Millpoint Park visitor appreciated that "spots were pretty spread out and easy pull through. The host was fast as soon as we pulled up he printed a receipt and escorted us to our spot with his truck."

Water views: Riverside camping provides scenic vistas. "Perched on Upper Peoria Lake where the Illinois River conjoins, this family-friendly and pet-inviting lush camping outpost is completely surrounded by Spring Bay Fen Nature Reserve, absolutely guaranteeing a sublime encounter with nature on top of offering direct waterfront sites," notes a review of Millpoint Park.

Convenient locations: Many campgrounds sit close to major highways. "Just 5 minutes to Starved Rock state park and one mile from interstate 80. Great country setting with full hook ups, pool, laundry, camp store and showers," writes a visitor to Nature's Way RV Park.

What you should know

Water quality concerns: Several campgrounds in the region have water with high mineral content. At Millpoint Park, "Water has a lot of iron so does smell/taste weird," and another visitor mentioned "The water here has a lot of iron in it, so don't attempt to drink it, but according to the locals, it's fine to shower in, so I would encourage you to bring a decent amount of bottled water with you."

Seasonal variation: Campgrounds change dramatically between seasons. Starved Rock Campground offers year-round camping, but one visitor noted: "Spring and fall camping is great here- waterfalls are rain fed and often dry in summer."
