RV park on the Illinois River. Full hookups in forrested setting. close to Peoria for shopping, restaurants and casino.
Jim Williams
Nice people running it and good location. However, we had basically no water pressure. Said had a problem with the line to our area, but are choosing to not fix it until end of season. Also, the trees on the road to the park need to be trimmed. They scrapped the top of our motorhome.

This is a camp ground. Very quiet, nice view of the river but don't expect any amenities. A bit pricey

We drive into this campground and it was a disaster! Doesn't look like it's been taken care of in a long time. Grass needs mowing. Roads are really rough. We drove to a spot we were supposed to have and a man yelled from another spot saying he was moving there. The owner/host said ok so we were taken to another spot that was worse. When we made tge reservation we told them we had 30 amp and that was not supposed to be a problem. When we got there he said that's no problem. I have an adapter I'll go get it. My husband didn't like the idea but it didn't matter. The man never came back. We had no phone service. We decided this place was not for us and made a reservation down the road. I don't know who wrote the other "good" reviews but I'm thinking friends of the owners. One of the worst campgrounds we have ever seen.

Basic and rustic sites. Sites vary ,some have cement areas, some are drivethrus, most have water and 50 amp hookup. Sadly woods need a cleanup, over 150 tires and plastic waste thru forest, not sure why they don't do a cleanup.sites are quiet. They have a few tiny cabins at front entrance for. Bathroom with shower, note building is not insulated or heated. Overall this place has more potential with a little more tlc invested. Highest site price per day in the area.
