Illiniwek Forest Preserve Campground

"2 miles off the express way, quiet, clean campground. First come first served, water and electric on site. Good dump station. Under $30 per night."

"Awesome campground. Have been going here for years with family. Excellent location and the fishing quality on the river is amazing. Only downside is it is first come first serve for a site, you cannot reserve online. One time I had to go to plan B because no sites were available here. Bathrooms are decent, not the best compared to other campgrounds, but they get the job done."

"I've been to Illiniwek many times but I have never seen the public restrooms in such disgusting shape. Dirty, smelly, just horrible. Big disappointment!!!!"

"I like the first come first served places in the spring and fall... Nice sites that are adequately spaced. We could see the river without any trouble, but the lock is pretty far away to see. Showers and restrooms were clean. Gravel driveways but reasonably level, though you can select whatever pitch your rig likes depending on site. Reasonably priced. There are a lot of nice riverfront primitive sites too. It's near a railroad but the train only comes by twice a day, and not at night, so that's not an issue. Cool area."

"The campground is great. Lots of grass, plenty of shade, clean restrooms and showers. Easy check in. Pleasant camphosts.Nature trails right across the street. Good 5g reception and local TV easy to tune in. Should have received a 5 star rating. Except I had to view a political flag all weekend. No rules or regulations to disallow controversial subjects. Camping should be an enjoyable time for all. I really don't care who you voted for or your political views when I am enjoying a glass of wine by my campfire. Raise your American flag. Raise your state flag. Raise your favorite team's flag. No need to bring divisiveness to a place where you are supposed to be able to enjoy yourselves."
