Camp A While

Overview

Camp A While provides a serene, tree-canopied escape for travelers moving through the heart of Illinois. Located away from the hustle of the city, this park offers a peaceful atmosphere defined by mature hardwoods and well-maintained grounds. It serves as a comfortable home base for those exploring the rich history of the region or simply looking for a quiet place to rest for the night. The management focuses on providing a clean and welcoming environment that makes every visitor feel at home during their stay in Lincoln.

Location & Surroundings

Situated conveniently near Interstate 55 and the historic Route 66, the park is easy to access yet feels remarkably secluded. The surrounding landscape features the rolling plains of Central Illinois, but the park itself is a shaded oasis with plenty of greenery. Its location on the edge of town ensures that you are close to local conveniences while still enjoying a nature-focused setting. Travelers often appreciate the balance between highway accessibility and the tranquil sounds of the Illinois countryside.

Amenities & Park Features

The park is designed to accommodate a variety of rigs with full hookup sites that include water, sewer, and both 30 and 50-amp electrical service. Long pull-thru sites make it easy for larger motorhomes and trailers to navigate the park without stress. On-site facilities include a laundry room, clean showers, and restrooms for guest convenience. For those traveling with families, the open spaces and playground area offer a safe place for children to play under the shade of the tall trees.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Being in a town named after Abraham Lincoln, visitors have easy access to several historic sites, such as the Postville Courthouse State Historic Site. The world's largest covered wagon is a short drive away, perfect for a quirky Route 66 photo opportunity. Nature enthusiasts can visit nearby Kickapoo Creek Park for hiking and fishing. The downtown area of Lincoln offers charming local diners and boutique shops that reflect the friendly spirit of the Midwest.

Who This Park Is Best For

This park is ideal for Route 66 enthusiasts and history lovers who want to immerse themselves in the Land of Lincoln. It is also a perfect fit for long-haul travelers who prioritize a quiet night of sleep under a canopy of trees rather than the noise of a busy highway stop. If you prefer a rustic, relaxed vibe with essential modern comforts over high-traffic resort amenities, Camp A While will suit your travel style perfectly.

Cannot recommend enough! Eric is super friendly and helpful. He couldn’t have done more to help us with our camper we had just picked up and we’re having some confusion with. Super grateful, thanks Eric! And Wrigley :)

Called late in the evening looking for a spot for the night and the owner was very helpful. Grounds were full of heavy snow and it was dark but he still came out to greet us and made sure we had everything. No amenities but you get what you pay for and it was a great price for 1 night. Being from Ireland and always driving into the unknown on our road trip is was great to have people looking out for us.

Were met by a friendly "shirtless" man who helped us park. The water standpipe was shared by an adjoining site. The dog is quiet and does not jump on you. The price charged was very reasonable.

We were traveling through the area with two other RV's. The owners were extremely nice and allowed us to dump and fill. They were great people. If your in the area and need a spot. Call them.

Would definitely come back to this cute little campground. Eric & Todd are both great— friendly & helpful, and Wrigley is the sweetest good dog. The site was perfect for me and the sunrise view was amazing!
