    Bald Eagle Campground and Cabins

    Barren RV-Riddled Campground Outpost

    One of the 6 campgrounds that you will have to choose from here at Scott County Park, Bald Eagle CG & Cabins is one that is more geared for the RV driving and trailer toting tribes as each site has FHUs with electric, water & sewage, fire rings and picnic tables; however, if you wanted to pitch a tent here, you could, although I would recommend nearby Incahias as an alternative. Unlike some of the other campgrounds here, Bald Eagle kind of lives up to its name as there’s not much in the way of tree cover or brush, so the land is somewhat BALD. The land is incredibly flat, back-in slots are spacious, hard and very level grounds are incredibly well-organized and the bathroom / shower facilities with great HOT running water and are about as impeccably clean as can be.

    Near by Bald Eagle is Pride Lake, which makes this pet-friendly CG your top pick if you’re an angler or looking to get some decent oaring with your kayak or canoe. Sitting in front of Pride Lake are 2 very large shelters – Whispering Pines and Hickory Hills – as well as a playground for the kiddos and a restroom facility that is also spartan-clean. Surrounding Bald Eagle is also no shortage of hiking / biking / horse trails. We found the CG itself to be fairly quiet, although lacking in privacy without the benefit of any real brush or trees to blot out our next-door neighbors, but that said, everyone was incredibly friendly with full displays of Midwestern hospitality that this area is known for. There is also a single large cabin available for rent that has capacity for 10 people.

    We loved Scott County Park so much because there is a lot that this gem offers up, from fresh water catch & release lakes, a combination of topographies (from woodlands, wetlands and prairie grasslands), a beautiful 18-hole championship golf course, outdoor exercise areas, club house and concessions, stand-alone cabins for rent, designated dump stations and trash receptacles, numerous picnic areas, a massive heated swimming pool complete with a snake-like water slide, volleyball court, ranger stations, seasonal on-site hosts, firewood available for purchase at entry stations, Walnut Grove Pioneer Village and St. Anne’s church at the park’s NW perimeter, 7 community shelters, designated picnic areas, a memorial park, equestrian area and an incredibly well-paved network of roads that allows you to easily access just about every corner of this park.

    Happy Camping!

    Geneseo Campground

    Hidden Gem Along Slow-Moving Canal

    This is an incredibly quaint, somewhat out-of-the-way (in a very good way) location that will treat you to a heavy dose of isolation and privacy wherein you’ll feel completely blessed by the nature you will be surrounded by. This incredibly friendly (pet-friendly as well BTW) operation does an excellent job in how it is set up, offering up a few distinct loops that are ear-marked pretty much exclusively for the wheel-toting camping variety (think RVs, rigs, trailers and 5th wheels) providing 59 pull-thru and 12 back-in slots, while also offering up a discreet space flanked towards the front of the property that is simply perfect for mi tent pitchin’ bredren, which is surrounded by mature Oaks. And, just in case you either forgot your tent or RV, Geneseo Campground has 4 super comfy cabins (each sleeps 4 and come with A/C) or an amazing yurt that sleeps 8 that they’ll gladly rent you.

    From an amenities standpoint, there’s an amazing kid’s playground, well-stocked camp store, propane refueling station, kayak & canoe rental, gas grill rental, e-bike, pedal carts & fat tire bike rental, full and partial hook-ups offering 30 / 50 electric amp, water & sewage hook-ups. There’s also a meeting room, WiFi everywhere, enclosed dog park, firewood & ice for sale, arcade games, RV dump station, coin-operated washers & dryers / laundr-O-mat, excellent showers & bathrooms, direct access to the Hennepin Canal and don’t forget the 60 or so miles worth of hiking trails!

    This place is spacious, very well organized, incredibly clean all the while within a short 10 minute drive into nearby Geneseo, which quite frankly, is one of the most idyllic small towns you’ll come across anywhere in Illinois that is both convivial and provincial, but also quite emblematic of a typical Norman Rockwell painting. What I loved most about this place is that while it doesn’t offer up EVERYTHING that you might be looking for while camping, you only need to head due south to Izaak Walton Park (further south of this spot) or to Geneseo Prairie Park, both of which offer up amazing hiking trails as well as good launch spots to access the Hennepin Canal via kayak and canoe.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you’re reeling, you should expect to catch blue gill, catfish, bass and crappie, and while you can throw your line from the Geneseo Campground property, I would highly recommend you cross the canal to Izaak Walton Park on its east side where there’s a large open canal / lake to cast in; (2) While there’s tons of hiking trails, you don’t want to forget your bikes – there’s 72 miles of biking trails as well as miles and miles of nicely paved empty country roads to pedal on; (3) Maybe you have a kayak or canoe, but in the case you don’t, do yourself a favor and rent one from the good people at Geneseo Campground in which to explore the Hennepin Canal - trust me, you won't be disappointed; and (4) Should you grow weary of eating franks & beans again from your campsite and want to try out some local cuisine, then get yourself over to nearby Geneseo where you can dine out at The Cellar, Sweet Peas Grill & Bar or Geneseo Brewing Company.

    Happy Camping!


Guide to Savanna

Camping cabins near Savanna, Illinois provide accommodations across the Mississippi River valley area, which features limestone bluffs rising 200-300 feet above the river. The region experiences seasonal temperature fluctuations with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s and winter lows regularly dropping below freezing. The camping season for most cabin rentals extends from April through November, though several properties offer year-round availability.

What to do

Water activities on the Mississippi: Near Blanding Landing, campers enjoy fishing and boating on the river. "Boat ramp, dock fishing, tall trees all over. Shady sites, water pump faucets, dump station," notes Ruth M. The campground provides direct river access from April through October.

Hiking through limestone forest: White Pines Forest State Park Campground offers multiple trail systems through distinctive limestone formations. "If you're a hiker, there are hills here for some decent elevation change (not bad for the Midwest). There are many trails which you can combine to get a good amount of miles in," explains GoWhereYouAreDraw N. The park maintains seven miles of marked trails.

Wildlife observation: Scott County Park near Savanna features abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. According to one reviewer at Bald Eagle Campground, "Expect to see whitetail deer as they love to make the park home." Morning and evening hours provide the best wildlife spotting conditions along park trails.

What campers like

Pioneer village exploration: At Bald Eagle Campground and Cabins, visitors appreciate the historical attractions. "We also stopped at the Pioneer Village to check it out. They do expect you to leave a $2 donation per adult and $1 donation per child... It was very cool to see how things were done back then! We would definitely recommend stopping by, and definitely stop in the ice-cream shop and get a cone!" notes M E.

Riverside cabin locations: At the Off Shore RV Park, visitors enjoy riverside positioning of cabin rentals. "Resort has many options: even camp sites, 4 villas, resort inn rooms. Sites have hard surfaces, fire rings, water, electric," writes James M. The river views provide opportunities for watching barge traffic and migratory birds.

Swimming facilities: Multiple cabin rental locations feature swimming options. According to one Bald Eagle Campground review, "The pool was open while we were there but we did not partake. It was really hot out so the pool was packed! It looks really nice from the road, it has 2 water slides and a small child area fashioned similar to a splash park."

What you should know

Train noise considerations: Several cabin locations experience railroad noise. At Blanding Landing, "Quiet, relaxing small campground with super clean hot showers and flush toilets in shower house. Boat ramp, dock fishing, tall trees all over... Our first night here the many trains were loud and woke us up, but if you can laugh instead of being annoyed, it is fine."

Off-season supplies: Winter cabin rentals require additional planning. "Groceries and ice are 13 miles away on hilly pavement roads," notes Ruth M. about Blanding Landing. Most cabin locations have limited or no on-site stores during winter months.

Uneven terrain: At White Pines Forest State Park Campground, "Many of the campsites are sloped and some are sloped A LOT. This isn't obvious from the booking page," explains Stacie H. Cabin rentals generally provide level accommodations but outdoor areas may require adjustment.

Tips for camping with families

Pool facilities: When booking cabin rentals, consider properties with swimming options. At Seven Eagles RV Resort & Campground, "There is also a pool and a club house on property, however we did not visit them," notes Jodi. Pool availability typically runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Nature reserves: For family educational opportunities, seek cabins near conservation areas. "Nature reserve accessible from campground. We took several walks and bike rides around it," writes a Seven Eagles reviewer. Many cabin properties connect to wildlife areas with minimal hiking distance.

Organized activities: Palace Campground cabins include access to structured programming. "This is by far my kids favorite place to go camping and we will continue coming here every year for as long as we can. If you and your family haven't been here I highly recommend you go," shares Chad C. Weekend activities are most concentrated during summer months.

Tips from RVers

Site positioning: At Palace Campground, site selection impacts privacy levels. "If you get along the outsides you have a lot more privacy and better chance they will be level. If you aren't worried about sharing a conversation with your neighbor then you can pick anything," advises Scott M. End-row cabin units typically offer greater separation.

Connectivity concerns: Cell service varies significantly between cabin properties. At Seven Eagles Resort, "There is ATT service, but not strong. There is also WiFi, but also not strong," reports Jodi. Consider bringing personal hotspots for reliable internet access.

Winter preparation: For those seeking year-round cabin accommodations, prepare for limited amenities. Bald Eagle Campground notes select sections remain open during winter with "heated shower house, very clean, recycling bins, overflow parking, electric vehicle charge station, wheelchair, charging station."
