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

Nice historic site well-preserved by the state. Fantastic river views and a small hiking trail on the property. Worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

It was such a beautiful day for a stroll through this nice, well-maintained park. The river was pretty. You can go down to the river, nearby. There was a lot of space for the picture perfect picnic. The Fort lets you imagine what life used to be like, right there by the Ohio River, long ago. There is plenty of parking. Theres a boat ramp that leads you down to a boat dock. We saw many barges passing by. The park also has a Visitor Center. Where I parked was down closer to the boat ramp/dock area. If you park in this area, you will have to walk up a short, but steep path to reach the area of the Statue, wooden buildings, and informational posts. The river is so pretty from this point. Especially, if the sun is shining. I did not see a wheel chair ramp for the way I went up. I'm sure the other turn in was for a direct pull in for the visitors center.

I love riding my bike, doing yoga, grilling out or hanging out at this park. Lots of hiking and playgrounds. Also a fishing pond and awesome bike paths.

American history wasn't my favorite subject in school but now that I am 60 it tends to be the most interesting as well as important. We got here at 4 pm and it was still open, wandering the grounds would have been good but touring the inside museum was awesome especially all the muskets and flint tools. It's very great that people use their time to restore such magnificent things
