Walnut Valley Realm Campground

Absolutely amazing? Gorgeous property with a beautiful creek for a hot day. Shortn20 mom drive to France Park ($5/person admission fee) with trails and a clean beach and frisbee golf course.

This campground has an enormous property with a couple trails that rival some forest preserves, so plan a day to hike. There’s some beautiful sights with a great pallet of plants, so please clean your shoes before camping (to protect the seed bank). We stayed here end-of-season, which I highly recommend if weather and planning allows. Some practical/planning notes: No showers, so plan your bird-bath if you need one. Pit toilets available, well-constructed for squatting if you prefer. The sites closer to the entrance are very close to a water well and the pit toilet, are equipped with a large light (which you can turn on/off) and outlets. Very convenient and easy to drive into. Generous spacing. Lots of oak and hickory so bring sleeping pads for your tent if you’re in the season during wh

Very quiet with roomy campsites. Electric hookups only and vult toilets. There are fire rings and pick nick tables.

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Walnut Valley Realm. Brian was very welcoming, told me a little bit about the history of the place. I couldn't ask for a better experience. The sites were great, the campground was well taken care of. Good place to get away and relax. I will definately be coming back for another relaxing weekend.

Our favorite spot! The cabin was perfect in the most perfect location. We cannot wait to return! Highly recommend!
