Illini State Park

Quiet State Park with beautiful views of the Illinois River. The area by Mallard Bay was especially scenic with many river access points and a hiking trail through the woods. There was hardly anyone else there during my visit. There's plenty of parking and the restrooms and the park itself were very clean and well taken care of.

It is a great quiet campground. Only different thing is you're totally on your own with check in. There were no employees to help. That's definitely not a game breaker but without a campsite map it was challenging to find our site. Now that we know the layout we'll definitely go back.

Camping was fine - the one bathroom with running water with two stalls for the entire camp ground - unless you want pit toilets. It was fine. Enjoyed being on the Illinois River. Driving in was very confusing - Google directions bring you into a closed road - people in "office" told us we missed signage... but were not helpful otherwise.

Very nice state park. Camp hosts are wonderful and keep everything clean and sanitary. Showers are hot, not tepid. There are no water hook-ups at any of the sites in the park, so plan accordingly. There is potable water and a dump station. There are also pit toilets by the playground. Those are also clean and checked. Bring your firewood!!

Not a bad State Park Campground. No one to check you in. No campground map. The spot by the river was nice. Restrooms are older. A little hard to navigate through the park. There is a dump station. Not much to do in the area. Probably will not go back. You can make up your own mind. Good place for one night on your travels.
