The campground is adjacent to Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site, a reconstructed village. Sites are large with grassy area between sites. Most sites are shaded. New Salem has a very interesting visitors center with exhibits on Lincoln. There is an outdoor theater with evening performances during the summer. We made this our base for visiting the Lincoln sites in Springfield 20 miles away. Although our stay extended into a holiday weekend, the campground was quiet. Nice restaurant across side road. No WiFi or reservations. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice, quiet park adjacent to New Salem State Historic Site. Nice trees without being overly wooded. Only 100 sites have electricity, with water close-by. They have a few 50 amp sites. New Salem Historic Site is open almost every day of the year, with recreation of pioneer times. (Temporarily closed on Mondays and Tuesdays due to budget crisis.) Stage productions in the summer, a few hiking paths, and touring the village are the main attractions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
