Best RV Parks & Resorts near Pinckneyville, IL

Several RV campgrounds operate near Pinckneyville, offering various hookup options. Pyramid State Recreation Area allows RV camping year-round with basic amenities but without electric or water hookups. Archway RV Park in Mount Vernon provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections on gravel pads arranged for larger rigs. "Sites are very close together with no privacy. There are some pull-thru sites, which is convenient," noted one camper about Marion Campground & RV Park. South Sandusky Campground on Rend Lake features concrete pads with electric (50/30/20 amp) hookups, while the Dogwood loop includes several full hookup sites in its upper section.

Within 30 miles of Pinckneyville, most RV parks maintain accessible roads suitable for larger motorhomes, though many sites require precise backing due to ditches alongside campground roads. Cell service varies considerably—South Sandusky offers spotty internet while Archway RV Park maintains reliable connections. Dump stations can be found at most parks, though wait times are common during busy weekends. Fall through spring sees fewer visitors, making pull-through sites more readily available. Many campgrounds near Rend Lake remain open year-round, providing both 30 and 50-amp service, with pet-friendly policies and at least minimal amenities. For travelers seeking big rig spaces, advance reservations through recreation.gov are recommended for Corps of Engineers campgrounds.

    Kaskaskia Jerry F. Costello Lock and Dam (formerly the Kaskaskia Lock and Dam

    Hidden gem

    This is a very clean campground with electric only hook-up. It had nice big concrete pads, a large picnic table and large fire pit/grill at each site. Water was available close to the restrooms and is accessible to fill campers. Parking area at each site could accommodate two vehicles. The capsites were located next to the Kaskaskia River. There is a recreation area with a large pavilion and fishing is accessible from here. By the camping area there is a hiking trail through the woods that ends at the confluence of the Kaskaskia and Mississippi Rivers. This trail is paved for walking, bicycles and wheelchairs. There is also a boat ramp close to campsites.

    Coles Creek Recreation Area

    Nice lake, quiet campground

    Coles Creek Campground on Carlyle Lake has 219 sites, most with full hookups, and shade. (There is 30 & 50 a as no service). Internet is spotty. There are also 2 group campsites with cabins. There are showers, flush toilet, a playground, fish cleaning station, boat ramp and a dump station. There is also a laundry area. All the campsites are either on the shoreline or a short walk to the lake. The whole campground is fairly flat, so the sites are level and easy to get into. There are a few pull through sites. Comes Creek is on the east side of Carlyle Lake, away from the larger, more crowded Hazlet State Park area. It’s a great place for fishing and boating or just enjoying the lake. The lake is a prime fishing and boating lake, and is recognized as one of the nation's top ten inland sailing lakes.

    South Sandusky Campground

    5 Star COE

    Using your GPS of choice, you can reach this campground off I-57 via Benton or the IL-154/Sesser exit. The area includes both North Sandusky and South Sandusky COE campgrounds, clearly marked and easy to find. We arrived around 2:00 PM and found the check-in gate closed, but since we had a reservation, we proceeded directly to our back-in site 123 with full hookups. Most sites here offer water and electric (50/30/20 AMP), while the Dogwood loop features several full hookup sites in its upper section. Note that the loop has low-sloping ditches on both sides of the road, so precise backing is needed to land on the asphalt pad. There’s one full hookup pull-through site in the Dogwood loop—a long, slightly curved pad with sewer and power connections on the yard side, and water on the standard side. Both North and South Sandusky COE campgrounds offer a wide variety of site types, including lake views, varying utility setups, and well-spaced sites. Paved bike trails run throughout the area. We've been coming here for years, and this campground remains one of our favorites close to home.

    Marion Campground & RV Park

    Would come back as a last resort...

    This is a stop-over type of campground. The sites are very close together with no privacy. There are some pull-thru sites, which is convenient. It is right next to interstate 57, so unless you're inside your camper, you'll definitely be listening to the highway. This is a pet-friendly campground, and they have a little dog park. They have a shower/laundry facility which is also convenient, especially if you're out on a big trip. Overall, it's certainly not a bad campground, but the highway noise really bothered us.
