Other commenters have pretty well described this first come, first served CG. I would only add that even though there are 300 sites, many are extremely unlevel and only suitable for short class B vans or tents. The grass sites are 30A and water with dump station. Paved sites are 30/50A with water and pretty tight. Some have sewer, some don't. If arriving after hours, pick a site, then call security to check you in and pay. Best route in - GPS had us taking some roundabout way. I would recommend coming in on I-55 and getting off at Illinois 29 (E. Sangamon Ave.) and head west. it's a straight shot to Gate 11 to enter the fairgrounds. Look for the white, oval campground sign.

We enjoyed our stay here. It wasn't too expensive...$30 for electric and water, but we didn't hook up to the water. Very close proximity to Abraham Lincoln historical sites. Man working was very nice and informative.

A good place to stop for the night. Lots of parking. Inexpensive. All sites have water and electricity. A few have sewer hookups. Very close to one of the best Abe Lincoln museums in the country and also to Lincoln's tomb if you'd like something to do for a while.

Very laid back. Not a lot of BS rules. Everyone staying here was very respectful. No load noises, dogs were all quiet. Our neighbors were great. And only $20 a night could not beat it. They have full hook ups at some spots with 50amp. We choose a spot in the grass by a big old oak tree. There was no sewer and only 30 amp. But the dump station it on the way out. Would definitely recommend
