Most campgrounds in the region support both tent and RV camping, with several locations also offering cabin rentals or glamping accommodations.

The camping season varies by location, with some parks like Prairie Pines Campground and Clinton Lake State Recreation Area operating year-round, while others such as Friends Creek Campground maintain a seasonal schedule from May through November.

    Friends Creek Campground

    Secluded and Cozy

    We stayed here during our travels from Kansas to Indiana. While we only stayed one night, it was long enough to know that should we travel nearby again-this will be our stopping point. Easy to access from the highway yet while in the park, we experienced pure bliss and quiet. Spacious sites and an abundant amount of shade made this stay even better! The camp hosts do an excellent job as the grounds and bathhouse were all immaculate! These are electric only sites however there are several water spigots to fill the tank prior to parking. For ease, there are even potable water spigots at the dump station and the bathhouse as well. Our site was fairly level and easy to maneuver into. For reference, we have a 34’ fifth wheel. When reserving, note that there are a handful of 50 amp sites, several 30 amp sites and tent sites available.

    Friends Creek Campground

    Great campground

    Very nice small campground with well spaced sites. The bathrooms were very clean. The Macon County website is a bit wonky to navigate. The camp host is a jewel. Be aware that there are 50 amp sites and 30 amp sites. The 50 amp sites are more expensive. Would definitely return.

    Gibson City South Park Municipal Campground

    Wonderful spot

    This is a great city run campground attached to a block sized city park. 30 amp and water at each site. The park has restrooms, with showers. You only need to grab a key from the police department. There is a dump station on site and large dumpster. Supermarket, restaurants and gas station with in a few blocks. An active American Legion post/bar just down main street. All for $10 a night.

    Wolf Creek State Park Campground

    Bad Management Ready To Ruin Your Holiday

    This park is beautiful, clean and the people were friendly. My issue is with the site supervisor and superintendent. On July 4th 2025 we were given the option of moving our entire campsite or being kicked out of the park. JULY 4TH! We booked our campsite in the last week of April, paid in full. We were the second party to book any spot in the entire campground! We chose our spot specifically for the access to the water and seclusion from the rest of the sites. Come to find out(a day after we set up camp) we booked in "horse camp" which apparently requires you to have horses. It never stated this on the website or rental confirmation we received. Nobody reached out to us in the three months we held the booking to confirm if we had horses. There was no on-site check in that could have saved us the trouble. No, instead we had to take 4 hours out of our holiday to pack all of our stuff and move into overflow camping or be forced to leave. Because of their mistake. Absolutely ruined our holiday with zero remorse or understanding. The icing on the cake was as we were leaving horse camp we noticed multiple other camp sites where people had not brought horses. They stated this happens all the time. If site management had two braincells to rub together they would fix their website instead of consistently ruining peoples trips and holidays. And then these people had the audacity to say they weren't going to charge us for the campsite they moved us to?!?! In reality, we should be receiving a full refund for the campsite we did pay for and free passes for the rest of the year. There is a second state campground on the other side of the lake I would suggest before coming to this place.

    D & W Lake RV Park

    Lovely hideway

    Very nice looking campground. When we drove in, 1st impression, it gave off a "Welcome" feel. Check-in was easy, we were pre-paid, we were taken directly to our pull-thru site. Stayed only 1 night, had planned 2 but had issues had to call and cancel 1 night. Sites level, plenty of space between campers, shade trees, loved the dog run too. Overall it was a very nice well kept campground. I'm glad we made a reservation. We enjoyed our stay.

Guide to Savoy

Camping near Savoy, Illinois, offers a variety of experiences for outdoor enthusiasts. From scenic parks to family-friendly campgrounds, there’s something for everyone looking to enjoy nature.

What to do:

  • Hiking: Explore the trails at Turkey Run State Park Campground. One reviewer mentioned, “From the back of the campground, you can access Trail 7, a moderate level trail that leads unexpectedly to a small stream running past a recessed cave. It’s a peaceful spot.”
  • Fishing: Head to Comlara County Park for some great fishing opportunities. A visitor shared, “There are simply tons of little nooks and crannies all around the lake to get some decent fishing in.”
  • Swimming: Enjoy the beach at Clinton Lake State Recreation Area. One family noted, “We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our family and our interests.”

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate the well-maintained restrooms and showers at Kickapoo State Recreation Area. A reviewer stated, “Clean, spacious shower houses. Only complaint I have are the weeds being quite tall between sites.”
  • Spacious Sites: Many enjoy the roomy campsites at Fox Ridge State Park Campground. One camper mentioned, “Each site has great privacy and has very spacious sites.”
  • Friendly Staff: Campers often highlight the helpfulness of the staff. A visitor at Spring Creek Campground said, “Bob showed up as I pulled in and made sure I was all set for the night.”

What you should know:

  • Raccoon Issues: Be cautious of raccoons at Weldon Springs State Park Campground. One camper warned, “The couple a few sites down had their tent destroyed. She had all of her food and smelly things locked in her car.”
  • Site Conditions: Some sites may be uneven, especially at Rockville Lake County Park. A reviewer noted, “The sites range from very uneven to moderately uneven in this section.”
  • Limited Amenities: Not all campgrounds have extensive amenities. A visitor at Moraine View State Recreational Area mentioned, “The outhouse was in really rough shape--looked like it hadn't been swept out or hosed down for awhile.”

Tips for camping with families:

  • Kid-Friendly Activities: Look for campgrounds with playgrounds and swimming areas. One family at Clinton Lake State Recreation Area enjoyed, “The kids loved the beach for swimming.”
  • Choose Spacious Sites: Opt for campgrounds with larger sites for more room to play. A camper at Coon Creek said, “The sites at the campground are kind of hit or miss as lots are very slopy so make sure to bring plenty of cribbing.”
  • Plan for Quiet Nights: Many campgrounds are family-friendly and quiet at night. A visitor at Fox Ridge State Park Campground mentioned, “It was very quiet, even during the day.”

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Levels: Make sure to check the level of your site before parking. A reviewer at Spring Creek Campground noted, “The bathroom is not very clean and needs attention. Sites are gravel, with some kind of level and some not.”
  • Electric Hookups: Look for campgrounds with electric hookups for convenience. A visitor at Comlara County Park mentioned, “94 including 30 / 50 amp electric while 23 are non-electric sites.”
  • Plan for Dump Stations: Be aware of where the dump stations are located. A camper at Clinton Lake State Recreation Area shared, “There’s only one dump station, which seemed odd considering that there’s at least 3 campgrounds.”

Camping near Savoy, Illinois, provides a mix of outdoor fun and family-friendly experiences. Whether you're in an RV or tent, there's a spot waiting for you!
