Nice quiet park. Lots of campsites reservable and non reservable. playground for the kiddo’s a statue and some hiking trails. restroom and shower facilities.

Sadly in a state of disrepair. The entry road and road through the campsites is really rough. The park buildings look close to falling down, no exaggeration. The roof of one of what always to be a storage or maintenance building is falling in and has random pieces of tin making a last ditch effort to hold the building together. The "hiking trail" isn't really marked. You almost have to know about it to use it. It's too bad too, because it's a nice little trail and more people would use it if they would bother to mark the entrances and the path itself. You can connect to the other side of the park across River Road for only a few months out of the year. They mostly show preference to hunters on that side of the park vs visitors or residents who actually want to use it. The tall trees make this a great place to go to get away from the sun in the summer, and I'm sure this place was gorgeous 30 years ago. Now it looks practically abandoned, sadly

This park is super nice. Electric only. There are water spigots where you can get water and a dump station. There are plenty of trees for cover from the sun in the summer. Plenty of parking spaces. The Black Hawk Statue is located here in the park. Easy walk from the campground. Beautiful scenery.

An imposing Black Hawk Statue. It's great that you can drive to the top of the hill where it is located. We walked down the almost 150 steps to the riverbank. There is a nice trail right next to the river.

Very well kept. Park. Sights are electricity only but still nice. Oregon Illinois is nearby and a very clean town. The waterfall on the rock river is nice to view. Blackhawk statue was cool but under repair.
