I brought a camper. Sites are small but since there was only 1 other camper, i have plenty of room. They do not have fresh water available to fill your tank so expect to bring yoyr own. Campground is clean. Bathrooms are surprisingly clean. Located perfectly for a tour of Nauvoo.

I've been to many parks in my life, and this one is on my top list. The sites are breathtaking while feeling the spirit makes the whole park very soothing and calming. The Temple inside and out is a must-see, at least one time in your life. The Joy of being there and near was amazing and, most importantly, experiencing the Joy with my Loving husband and six out of my ten kiddos.

This is a great little camping spot right in the heart of Nauvoo. It's got a place for RVs, campers and tent camping. It has a very nice facility for showers. There is an RV dump station. It is on a bluff that overlooks historic Nauvoo and the Mississippi River.

We stayed here for 2 weeks. It's not very level, and their definition of cleaning the bathrooms and showers is to just drench everything in a bleach solution, toilet paper included, let it just sit, and not wipe anything down. The electrical box is shared between two sites, so you need a pretty long cord in order to reach it. All that being said, we really did enjoy our time here. With it being only 5 mins from everything in Nauvoo, it is an ideal location to stay if that's why you're there. There's a free history museum on site that's a cute, little, local history museum. There's also a little lake where you can fish, boat, or swim. There are tons of trees, so, no matter the time of day, we always had shade. It is $20/night for electric sites. There's also a dump station, and two water spigots in the electric campground. They also have tent camping sites. Our T-mobile service was pretty good.

Great little park with lots of camping sites. Electric and non electric sites available for $20 and $10 per night respectively without senior/vet discounts (Discounts only apply to Illinois residents). There are only a couple water spigots around, but water can be accessed at the shower house and at a single spigot in the electric site area. Showers and bathrooms are included with the camp site fee. Lots of handicapped accessibility areas including at the boat launch. Easy lake access here with lots of fish in the lake, and a boat ramp plus a dock.
