TESTIMONIALS
What a well-maintained RV Campground just off US-Hwy 67 near Jacksonville IL! We had a lovely quiet spot in the back right on a little farmed pond stocked with fish with a couple swans swimming on it! At night I opened up my windows and listened to the chorus of frogs. There are also cabins to rent and several nice trails they keep nicely mowed around the ponds and back into the woods surrounding the campground. Loved our stay!
Georgia Wilson
This is a nice country campground. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Clean showers, well-kept grounds, lots of stuff for kids. 15 minutes from Jacksonville.
Safety: Well-kept and safe environment.
Walkability: Plenty of grassy paths to take a nice stroll around the parketail in every aspect of our accommodation was exceptional.
