County-managed Nelson Park requires boat access to reach its developed camping sites along the water. The campground provides electric and water hookups for RVs, along with restrooms, showers, and a dump station. A playground serves families with children.
Campers can fish directly from the campground area and explore walking trails that connect through the park grounds. The facility allows pets and campfires. For additional camping options in the region, campers can explore places to camp near Dunlap or check Manteno Co Park southeast of the area. The boat-in access makes this spot well-suited for campers with watercraft who want hookups and developed amenities.
