Weinberg-King State Fish and Wildlife Area, managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, runs two separate camping loops near Augusta, Illinois: one designated for equestrian use and one for general camping. The equestrian loop has more established shade; the non-equestrian loop has younger trees and gets full afternoon sun. Electric hookups accommodate RVs up to 40 feet, and the area has cell service. Fishing access, grass-covered hiking trails, and a central picnic shelter round out the site. Rates run $0 to $18 per night, and the campground is open year-round. Anglers and hunters will find the most to do here, with Argyle Lake State Park Campground offering an alternative base for those wanting more tree cover.

Allen presented a deed for about 500 acres of what is now Weinberg-King SFWA land to the State of Illinois in May 1968. An additional 295 acres were later purchased by the Department of Natural Resources to expand the site.
