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

An unexpected gem! Lots of choices for campsites, large bathroom/shower and electricity for only $25 a night! Just $20 for seniors, and they even refunded us $5 when they saw we didn’t hook up to the electric. Plus, we got a surprise entertainment in a Belgian draft horse exhibition going on this weekend. People were super friendly here, too. We couldn’t ask for more.

Great spot for camping at the best price you will ever find. We just used for a stopover to dump and fill relax a bit. Will always make a stop here when traveling. Not actual pics of campground, but that is what we were driving.

Great location and convenient campground for visiting Springfield area sites. Campsites are basic well maintained, clean and have electric and water facilities. Not a fancy resort style campground. Good security and quiet area.
