Please remember that others walk where you and your pet walk, so please pick up what they leave behind. If we all do our part, no one will be stepping into anything unpleasant. Please keep your pets feeling safe at all times. Pets often do not like being left alone in a strange place or around strange humans and may need your assistance and reassurance.

          Municipal park for small rigs

          Don’t even try it with anything larger than a 20 ft travel trailer. Super convenient. 110v. 15amp electrical. Shared water. Gravel somewhat level pads. Poor communication. Info kinda available on the municipal website. 1st come.

          We stayed here 2 nights. We came to see the George Rogers Clark National Monument. Campground was nice. Several full time campers living here. Staff was friendly. Was a little noisy on the weekend. Shower house was very clean.

          Dog poop in the site and loud neighbors

          I was not a fan. I was tenting and there was not a great spot for the tent and there was dog poop everywhere (tracked some in the tent when setting up so I wasn't pleased). Also a bunch of large Widowmakers in the trees above was nerve-wracking. The people around me were LOUD! One dude listening to a college football game until past 10 and a guy and his kid playing glow Frisbee right in from of my tent past 10 as well. As I was on a road trip and wanted to get to sleep, this was not appreciated.. On th e good side, the bathrooms were very clean. I would NOT stay here again

          Great little quiet camp ground

          Far enough away from the interstate you don't hear the traffic. No nearby trains either. The grounds were neat and clean. The fishing pond is great and beautiful. Big rig friendly. Bob showed up as I pulled in and made sure I was all set for the night. This place is going in my saved list for sure.

          Scrolling through my phone, I decided to try something different, and that’s when I found lucky star. The site’s design is simple but nice, and it’s easy to find your way around. I played a few games on lucky star, and they were actually pretty fun and not too complicated, even for someone like me who’s new to this. The bonuses make it feel like you’re getting a little something extra each time, which keeps it exciting. I didn’t expect much going in, but it turned out to be a really good time. I’ll definitely be back when I need a break from everything else.

          Enjoyable time

          Campground was quiet and well kept. Foliage was well trimmed. There was a spot from previous campers that needed cleaned up, but that's more of a reflection of the previous campers and less the camp ground, in my opinion, as it was not an overall theme.

          Great park

          We had a great experience with the park itself. The grounds were very well maintained with trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas. We were there on a Sunday night and were the only campers in the park.

          The star I knocked off was for the pit toilets. They had not been limed in a while as evidenced by the bugs swarming inside the pits and larva swimming in the bottom. If I didn’t have a portable travel potty of my own, I would have not given even four stars. I may not have camped here.

          Excellent KOA in Grayville I-64

          We stayed here on the way to and on the way home from The Kentucky Bourbon Trail. It is a fairly new KOA with so many enjoyable amenities, family fun, food, ice cream, mini golf, full hookups and shady spots if you ask for one. We want to go back and stay at a patio lot with a swing. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nearby services, fuel, farm store, etc.

          Tent campsites are a decent size but still pretty close together, and our site had water and eletric hookup. Cute lake, very family friendly, lots of amenities, amazingly clean.

          Great campground with persistent raccoons

          Harmonie State Park looks like a great place for a family vacation. In addition to the campground with at least 2 playgrounds, there are trails, picnic areas and a boat ramp. We only stayed 1 night. Site 166 is big and on the end of a road. There's a restroom and water spigot within walking distance. They have showers but we didn't use them. Our only problem was 1 or more raccoons kept coming into our site. We shooed them away but they kept coming back. I'm sure they were just looking for food.

          Nice State Park Campground

          We stayed here for the eclipse in April. No real issues. Kids had plenty of room to run around, hike and safely ride bikes around the campground. Showers and bathrooms were typical for a state park.

          There were heavy storms the night before the eclipse and everyone in tents were completely soaked. The area around our site had really poor drainage. We had noisy neighbors that were up until at least 2 or 3 with zero regards for anyone else trying to sleep.

          Camp site #83

          It had electeic hook up but we were tent camping early May 2024. The campsite is mostly hill with a wash out running through it. It is also the breeding site of thousands of Miner Bees. They were docile and no one got stung but they were everywhere from sun up to sun down the entire site hummed with bees. The entire ground was full of holes that they were coming in and out of. Close to bathroom/showers and a playground, fresh water source across the road.

          Nice, clean, state park.

          Everything was well kept and clean. Multiple bath/shower houses on each loop. Push button showers. Takes about a minute to get water hot, but good after that. Dated, but clean and functional. The lights stay on 24/7 so bugs are in the shower house.

          Multiple walking trails and bike trails. Nice shelter houses and picnic areas. Multiple playgrounds. Nature center in the campground. Many events scheduled for summer. New Harmony (town) is close by and a must stop. Nature walks, lots of unique history you will find nowhere else, quaint shopping, coffee shops, wine bar, dining, etc...

          The pool has been filled in at the park. Very disappointing.

          I was demolished by mosquitos and was covered in deet. Tried picaridin too. If you get the biters off you, the gnats were all over me too. Not sure if just time of year or maybe always this way (did rain multiple times).

          Couldn't use mountain bike trails and most hike trails as it was too wet.

          Suggest calling before making reservations because many of electric sites are not level, at all. Ask which would be best.

          Convenient & safe location

          I was passing thru Salem & opted to stay at U camp Express RV Park because it was conveniently located right off Hwy 57. There were other options but they were about 17 miles away. The owners, Bill & Becky, were very hospitable & offered a site for camper- vans that don’t need water/electric hook-ups for $35 and they assured me that it was a safe place to park. In addition, the Park was very neat and “homey” with fall decor and the bathroom was immaculate! All said, it was a good value & I would go back.

          Owner is not good with people

          When asked why I couldn't put up a small fence for my dogs he went to great details to tell me why dogs had a bad rep in his park. When I said it wasn't on the website he got extremely angry, came close to attacking me and thru me out of his park and called the police. Don't stay there if you have pets.

          Ignore the long description!

          BEWARE: The super long narrative has absolutely NOTHING to do with this campground! Had it been written by the owner, I would have given it zero stars. This lengthy description might describe the general area but not this facility. It’s a nice, very tiny campground right next to the road into town on which some locals apparently enjoy ‘rolling coal’ at 90 miles an hour. Walking a dog is a bit risky. Good place for a quick overnight though. Power was good but let the water run a bit because it’s brown when first turned on.  Payment CASH ONLY.

          Not too bad and great in a pinch!

          We did not have a reservation it was just a quick stop for the night while passing through.

          This was a good spot for the night.  We didn't get there until after dark and the campgrounds weren't that well marked.  We didn't stay in the spot we originally planned because it was getting late and we couldn't find it and I didn't want to keep hitting the other campers with our headlights.

          The campground was no where near full and it was very quiet so a very nice nights stay.  Only complaint was trying to find the right campsite.



        Guide to Olney

        Camping near Olney, Illinois, offers a variety of experiences for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a fun family adventure, there are several campgrounds in the area that cater to different needs.

        What to do

        • Hiking and Biking: Many campgrounds, like Harmonie State Park Campground, have multiple trails for hiking and biking. One camper mentioned, "Multiple walking trails and bike trails. Nice shelter houses and picnic areas."
        • Fishing: If you enjoy fishing, Fowler County Park is a great spot. A reviewer said, "They stock the lake. There's a boat ramp and bank access to kayak."
        • Playgrounds: Campgrounds like Shakamak State Park have playgrounds for kids. One family noted, "It was close enough to walk to the Nature Center and grab ice cream."

        What campers like

        • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms and shower facilities. A visitor at Okaw Valley Kampground remarked, "Clean restrooms and showers with hot water."
        • Friendly Staff: Many campers enjoy the welcoming atmosphere created by campground staff. One reviewer at Camp Lakewood said, "This is a small campground with very friendly staff."
        • Spacious Sites: Campers often mention the generous spacing between sites. A guest at Coon Creek (IL) shared, "The sites at the campground are kind of hit or miss as lots are very slopy so make sure to bring plenty of cribbing."

        What you should know

        • Reservations Recommended: Many campgrounds fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons. A camper at Stephen A. Forbes State Recreation Area noted, "We did not have a reservation; it was just a quick stop for the night."
        • Limited Cell Service: Be prepared for spotty cell coverage in some areas. A visitor at Fox Ridge State Park Campground mentioned, "Cell coverage for Verizon was 1 bar consistently, 2 bars occasionally."

        • Plan for Mosquitoes: Be ready with bug spray, especially during warmer months. A visitor at Harmonie State Park Campground warned, "I was demolished by mosquitoes and was covered in deet."

        • Check Site Levels: Some sites may not be level, so it's good to ask about the best spots. A camper at Fowler County Park suggested, "Suggest calling before making reservations because many of electric sites are not level."
        • Bring Adapters: If you're using a 30-amp connection, make sure to have a 50/30 adapter. A visitor at Archway RV Park noted, "Full-hookups with only a 50amp connection."
        • Look for Quiet Spots: Some campgrounds offer quieter areas for a more peaceful stay. A reviewer at Spring Creek Campground mentioned, "Far enough away from the interstate you don't hear the traffic."
