Illiniwek Forest Preserve is a great park right by the Mississippi River. It offers a little bit of everything, including clean and big tent spaces for camping, with sites close enough for nice riverview sunsets. It is family friendly with a nice playground. There are newly renovated public restrooms that are very clean, stocked, and offer hot water showers for those who rent a space. The picnic areas are clean and great for a picnic. Visitors enjoy the nice trails, though some find the daily directional route system somewhat confusing and weird. It is a favorite spot for fishing, with many catching good size fish.
Great spot for early morning walks. Camping looks Awesome!

Loved camping here! Very nice sites, campground is very neat and well kept. Sites are reasonably priced & sized. Quiet place nestled next to the river and bike trail. Definitely will stay here again!! 😊
