Camped here 3 nights. Baths were clean, showers need curtains. All my stuff got wet. Close to shopping and the Ohio river. Nice people.

Beautiful setting, even with river barges. The VC employee was extremely helpful in answering questions. She also ran outside to catch me when she found a brochure that seemed like something I'd want to know about.

When we first arrived, there were only two other campers and there is lots of space in between each campsite. The restrooms and showers were new and nice. They were horseflies surrounding us when we first arrived, but they disappeared in about 20 minutes. This campground is located adjacent to the Ohio river, which seemed to have a lot of dead fish and a terrible smell this time of year. $20 a night was a deal.

Very nice Illinois State Park. Cool forts that you can walk around and see. Right on the Ohio River. Beautiful scenery. Ample parking, very nice visitors center and bathrooms.

Great little museum, Fort replicas, Bike trails, walking trails, and alo NH the beautiful Ohio River. This is not a big hiking area but perfect for families wanting small trails. They have a great little campground and the visitors center has events at times and can give you any info. There are some great photo ops through the park
