Best RV Parks & Resorts near Oquawka, IL

Needed an overnight spot on our way north, off season for camping in this area.  Called mid afternoon for availability and spoke with John who promptly told us he would hold a site for us. Large campground that has a few full hookup sites open year around. We were given a site between a couple of traveling workers. Both came out to greet us which was very nice. Site was a bit small but certainly ok for a night's stay. Many larger sites farther back in the closed area. Full hook-ups. Level gravel. Picnic table available. Laundry and restrooms very clean. Playground, pavilion for movies, dog area, frog pond, hiking trails and beautiful woods. A few camping supplies available in the office. This would be a fun getaway for families in the summer months.

Very nice personnel and clean, updated facilities. There are some long-term residents, but everyone seems very kind and helpful. Clean restrooms and laundry. You can buy quarters for the laundry. We’ll controlled dogs here! That’s Nice. Parking is drive thru, but sites are pretty close. We

Good level sites with full hookups, gravel. Older facilities with new helpful managers. A number of sites had old rigs on them.

Nice campground with a decent sized fishing pond. Campground host is super friendly! They ran over when we pulled in and helped guide us into our site. We stayed at site 2 which is a little smaller than we would’ve liked but it is all concrete and has full hook ups. Did not do any fishing so can’t comment on that. Did go to the creamery nearby. If you stay here and don’t visit the creamery, you’re definitely missing out!

Great staff and RV park amenities. Camped for two nights and it was quiet.

There is plenty of RV parking at the Iowa80 World’s Largest Truck Stop. Watch for the entrance as it comes up quick and has you pull between the truck stop building and the BP gas station. There are several fast food places and a real restaurant inside. Fun place to visit. I definitely needed my ear plugs as the nearby semis idled all night.

it has full hookups, tent site swim beach, fishing, canoes,and f, playgrounds also cabins a stone lodge for family get togethers some sites just have electric and water on site and there are some full hookups also a shower house and modern restrooms, fire wood for sale We go at least 3 times a year . So nice and quiet the lake is clean they also have a dump station

This was a nice spot for an overnight stay. The site was a full hookup- electric, water and sewer. I wouldn’t stay longer than an overnight. The sites were close together and very close to a train track.

Camp Nauvoo is a nice, church operated, park only 5 minutes from downtown Nauvoo. We stayed one night on our way to Minnesota. The sites are sunny and all are pull-through.but some have shade. The park streets are gravel with concrete pull-through sites. The park is very quiet. Great value for $32. Full hookups. 

Stayed in campsite#10 which has no shade. It was a concrete pull-through with more than enough parking for my TT and truck and grass on either side. The site included: picnic table. Utilities were located in different spots. 20A/30A/50A electric in the middle, water near the rear, and sewer near the front. Site was level. No neighbor on passenger/awning side. 

AT&T had 3 bars of LTE and Verizon 1 bar of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 56.8 Mbps down, 9.3 Mbps up. Free WiFi available, but I had trouble connecting. 

If you are southbound on Illinois Hwy 96, the left turn off the highway is very sharp and steep. Might be easier to continue about a mile south and use the scenic turnout to turnaround. It is a pull-through turnout. Then, turn off the highway on the right.

Would stay here again. We camped at Camp Nauvoo in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great campground. Sites are pretty level and easy to get parked. Full hookup!!! There is a good sized lake that we have kayaked and swam in. The conservation officers are very nice and usually stop by to make sure everything is going great. They continue to improve the campground every year

Camp ground is a bit different than the rest. You pick out what spot you want and the host will come around to you. No sewer hookups for RVs they do have power stations and water. Have to share water at some spots. It’s about a 5 min drive either way to go fishing. There’s a town close by if you would like to go shopping for supplies. Has a small playground on site very out dated. Every spot looks very nature forwards there’s not very many concrete spots to park on. Plenty of space so your never right next to someone. Not very busy either

Lots of full hookups. Sites a little close. Campground managers friendly and very helpful

First of all I have to say the bathrooms and laundry were very clean. The owner, John, was very friendly and helpful. Our spot was very clean and level. The sites are pretty roomy with some shade. Full hookups, hiking wooded trails, nice pond for fishing, playground. Very quiet place, kids can ride their bikes. John provides a good size bundle of wood for 5.00 and brings it to your site. Will be staying there again

We spent two nights here enjoying the beautiful panoramic view of Lake Allison. The campground is small and in a bit of a noisy part of town, but still very pleasant! There is a shooting range not far from the campground across the lake and we would hear shooting off and on. It wasn’t obnoxious, just not as peaceful as we like. There is also some traffic noise from the street near by. Our sight sat far enough away from the road so that noise didn’t bother us, but if you need full hookups and have a larger trailer, you will be closer to the road. There are two bathroom/shower houses on each side of campground. One is newer and has individual private locking shower/toilet areas. We preferred that one, but the older one was just as clean and nice. The campground staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Some of the sights at the campground could be very challenging for bigger rvs, some very uneven and small spots, but the staff are very helpful in directing you towards a good site suited for you. Overall we very much liked this campground and will be back!

Staff was extremely helpful in helping us to secure a full-hookup and drive-through spot for the night. Nice video library and book room, clean restrooms/showers, and spotless laundry room. The kids loved the huge pool.

I stayed at the RV section right next to the rodeo arena. Full hookups for only $20 per night with a self-service registration box. I forgot to count but looked like maybe 20 spots max. I was here mid-November in town for work and there was no more than four other campers at any point. Pretty basic surroundings though. There's barrel trash cans, didn't see a dumpster. Didn't see any toilet or shower buildings. Hardly any trees near the sites. Decent playground close by though, and a heavily wooded park with trails beyond that.

All full hookups are in the sun most of the day. So if you don’t have a canopy or awning it’ll be hot. On concrete pads. Fire rings are right behind each site with plenty of room in between. Fire wood available on site. Shower houses 8/10 nice walk down to the lake good fishing and kayaking. Lots of trails to walk threw the forest.

Recent upgrades to campground include some full hookup sites and new shower house. Once blacktop roads inside campground are now "Hardpack" with small loose gravel covering the roadways. The trail system around the lake is in pretty good shape and makes for some great mountain biking. The lake itself has been drained for about 3 years now and shows no signs of being filled again. Though they say it will be. 2020 will be the first year for camping in the newly remodeled campground. So we shall see eh?
