Stayed here for the Penn State - Illinois football game. EXCELLENT park, nice large lots, level, quiet ... nothing could have been better, but gave it a 9 just in case I stay at the PERFECT park, but this one was very close! I would recommend this park to anyone for an extended stay or overnight! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent park on the grounds of the former Chanute AFB. Could use more signs a better direction to park, but that is the only complaint. One of the cleanest and quietest parks we have ever stayed at. When we go full time, I would definitely consider this park for long term parking. Great price in a beautiful park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here with our camping club group of five 5th wheels. The park is converted from the mobile home housing of a closed Air Force base. All sites are basically 'pull through', the host leads each unit to their site through the grass and helps them get situated on their very large spot, I would say that this is definitely a 'big rig friendly' park. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly, our group had a potluck on Saturday night and we were able to use the pavilion without making prior reservations. One big plus is that you can wash your rig at your spot. Will definitely be back to see the sights. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very well kept park. Big sites with a great pavillion. The restrooms and showers were all very clean and well kept up. Close to old Air Force Base and Air Museum. Easy to get to from Interstate 57. Ten rigs were here with our group and we all will return as a group again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An extremely nice, peaceful park. It was a mobile home park when the air force base was open and is a few blocks from the Octave Chanute Air Museum and about 15 miles from the Champaign/Urbana area. The picture on the web site is an exact depiction of the park. Sites were large and level, surrounded by shade trees , but not enough to hamper satellite reception. The park is very well maintained. The roads were bordered with low curbs and the site included a parking area with a sidewalk from the street to the concrete patio at the campsite. The center of the park has sidewalks from the street to the laundry/shower building and the pavilion. Dogs are limited to two per vehicle and are not allowed in the center of the park near the sidewalks, but there is ample open grassy areas where dogs are permitted. The laundry room and showers are large and clean. The park is very quiet and far from any main highways. We found this park by accident when we took a wrong turn and found ourselves in the Champaign area. We were pleasantly surprised and extended our stay to a week. Weekly rates are $100. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a nice park! It's a city park. All parking pads are gravel and each site has a concrete patio and sidewalk to the street. Large sites, plenty of space between you and the neighbor. Plenty of shade. Spotless bathrooms and showers. Close to town but out in the country, so it's very quiet. We loved it here. It's only 15 miles from the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Staff very nice, bathrooms well kept and very clean. They escorted us to our site. My
only complaint was the sewer connecting being so high off the ground, higher than my trailer connection which made dumping a challenge. They do have some
pet restrictions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
