Rating: 8 8 8 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Smooth gravel roads, plenty of room to maneuver, gravel sites, grass patio. Our site ran uphill slightly, rear tires barely stayed in contact with ground. Clean, well mowed, some sites satellite friendly, some not. OTA worked fine. - 36-DP
Camped here for just an overnight. Got a good long pull through in the front. Water sewer and 50 amp. Sites were very narrow, the neighbors sewer was about 2 feet from our step. But served our purpose well. Military gets a $5 discount. - 2 DA WDS
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Tincup RV Park »Nice midsize RV park, with several sections: an entryway row of sites (next to golf driving range) that are pretty close together, a larger middle loop (including several LONG pull-through sites), and a slightly "hidden" back loop (which is where we camped and what I would recommend) that is very private and quiet. Lots of open green space for dog walking, ball playing, drone flying (two of us had them when I was there), or other recreation.
This campground fills up quick during college football weekends, when the University of Illinois team is playing a home game in nearby Champaign-Urbana. We called about 10 days in advance and got one of the last few sites available.
Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and put a smile on my face every time I spoke to them! Price is a little high at $35/night, but all developed sites have full hookups. There appear to be several primitive sites that might cost less. We had guests come one evening, and there was no extra charge. Propane and camp store on site. - scottydl -

Rating: 7 4 5 8 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We spent 1 night here after a great Champagne Snow snowfall, and our dogs loved frolicking in the snow. The area was quiet and peaceful. Since there was a snowfall, I wasn't certain if we were sitting on gravel or concrete. All in all, it was decent. A lake is across the road; my guess is it's a nice setting in summer and fall. - Sally Kely
Something happened since I was here last. I think there is a new manager. It appears that most sites are now filled with RVs that are seasonal. This left very few sites for a rig to just show up (this is a no reservations campground). The rate for 7 days was $100 plus electric which is very reasonable. Hookups were a stretch on the site that I was on but worked fine. Satellite and antenna were good and Verizon cell and Internet were strong. I come here to visit family. I may check out another campground close by the next time I'm in the area. - RVW Traveler
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Champaign Sportsmans RV Park »This is a membership Sportsmans Club. Most sites are grass. The full hookup sites are small on gravel right in the middle of the entrance. Very few sites have their own fire pit. Two types of sites, full hookup or electric with community water spigots located within a 100' or so of each site. The oddest thing is that almost every site has the power post on the passenger side if the rig. Sites are relatively level but a lot are not. For some reason, you can hear the highway noise quite a bit. It is about two miles away. Small playground but nothing much more for the kids. If you are visiting the area, it will suffice. $18 is for electric only. - Wydglide

Rating: 6 7 10 8 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Unfortunately the water was not working during our stay. Not sure if this was due to the weather or the construction in the park. Facilities were good, camp hosts were helpful. It was quite cold and lots of mud, but ok for an overnighter. - CJVJn1Doug
We stayed here for one night during bad weather, cold and rainy. There had obviously been a lot of rain earlier resulting is soggy conditions in places. The owner had put new gravel on several sites and some potholes to remedy the problems. - Boatbird
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for D & W Lake Camping and RV Park »This was our third stay at this beautiful park. It is a great stopover for us either on the way down south or back up to Wisconsin. They have a fishing lake with a beautiful walking track around it. Park is well taken care of, friendly staff, sparkling clean bathrooms, showers and laundry room. Pet friendly also. Staff is friendly and attentive. Trash picked up right at your site several times a day. Quiet park and great for an overnight stay or longer. Will stay here again. - Southbar

Rating: 10 6 9 7 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Host waited after hours to guide us to a site that we could pull through. Excellent service. Lovely wooded, green sites. Appears to be an old mobile home park converted to city park. Long sites. I needed to wash clothes. Small, clean laundry with 2 washers and 2 dryers. Low price to wash, but bring quarters as no way to get change on site. - Sunny Weathers
We were here about this time ( the last full service weekend of the season) back in 2013 (that review and many recent ones give decent descriptions of this park). We again had a FHU, pull through site. We were fortunate (lots of tall trees in the park) to be able to get satellite TV reception. The Wi-Fi worked well enough for our minimal (e-mail and web surfing) needs. I see no recycling. - Jerry S
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Prairie Pines Campground »Prairie Pines has about 75 sites, many are pull-thru which are very spacious. We camped in a 45' coach and had plenty of room to pull in and extend 4 slides. The campground is managed by the city of Rantoul, IL, and has an on-site manager. The manager was helpful and efficient, plus provides personal escort to your site and insures all is good. The bathhouse/laundry facility is large and very clean. The large sites have a patio, fire ring, good wi-if, no cable. All sites are full hook-up. All sites provide good 50 amp service. The campground is conveniently located off I-57, close to town (Walmart for stocking up), and only about 15 minutes north of Champaign, IL (home to University of Illinois.) Prairie Pines is a well-managed campground whether for an overnight stay or longer. We will definitely return when visiting family in the area. - Big Buddha

Rating: 7 8 1 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This was an overnight stop for us, so we didn't use anything at the park itself. There are 308 sites, 6 are 50 amp full hookup. Camp hosts were nice (this is their 6th year there). Water pressure was extremely low, but that could have been because we had to actually duct tape the handle to get it to work. Cheap for overnight, and very outdoorsy if you like that type of thing - saw bike and walking paths, a 'beach', marina. - DaBlairs
This is a really big campground and, again, to be honest we didn't see much of it beyond the section we were in. There are a variety of sites, ranging from just a few 50 amp full hookup sites, to several 30 amp full hook up spots, to water/electric to electric only.
This facility borders Clinton Lake: a popular area boating and fishing spot. Nearby is a marina and beach. None of the sites in our area, though, bordered the lake. This place is far enough off the beaten track that travelers don't often find it. The locals, though, fill it up on summer weekends, often in family groups who know just what spots are their favorites. The roads are good and the sites are level and spacious.
I was under the impression that the electric is an issue. Our power pedestal began acting up and getting hot. One of the campground employees cheerfully changed out the plug and breaker and we were back in business. I had the feeling that it was a common occurrence. There are a couple of issues you might want to know about. First, the few shower houses with modern facilities are in need of more "TLC." Also, there are several stinky pit toilets supposedly available closer to the campsites. I can't imagine anyone using them. Second, my Verizon signal was fair to poor, depending on time of day. Using the signal booster I managed to do most of what I wanted but at times it slowed to a crawl. All in all, our experience at this campground was a positive one and we will likely return. - nazpazView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Clinton Lake State Recreation Area »Loop F site 17 rented for the week. Stayed 2 nights. 1 shower works out of 4, with one set temperature, shower house was very dirty. Restroom was a filthy outhouse. We will never stay there again or recommend ever. We wasted 280.00 and left early. You think that a state recreation park that charges that much for a site, that they would at least have a clean restroom, and shower house with more than one working shower. They lied to us and told us we could keep our boat in the water, and after arriving and getting robbed for a week of fishing at 31.50 we were told in person that all boats not in rented slips must be pulled out every night. Beware of the false reviews that rate this place above average. Very disappointed on my annual family vacation. Illinois didn't impress my family enough ever to return. What a dump. - Michael Hall

Rating: 9 5 6 6 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Greeted by camp host. Pick your own site. Great rate. Lots of trees. Short walk to lake (although lake edge was kind of junky. People, throw away your trash!). Electric only. Had a spigot within campground to fill water tank. Level site. We enjoyed our 1 night there and would love to go there again. Roads and turns were a little tight for bigger rigs. - RvCandyP
Mostly shady sites with mature trees. Lake is very pretty, direct access close to F section. F1 is the only pull through, but one pin in 30 amp power receptacle was arcing. There was a sign that said -max 24 -amps even though it was a 30 amp. We moved to C8 one of the 5 50 amp sites- it had a sign - max 40 amps. (C5,6,7,8,9 are all 50 amp). campground was pretty empty midweek after Labor Day. We had 5 clear channels with antenna:, cbs, PBS.. Stayed for one night, would return. Very nice camp hosts. - Jeannehanes

Rating: 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park has a beautiful caricature about it, with its big Oak and Hickory trees and how they go together about 30 or 40 feet in the air. This park has the grounds mowed every week. There is a set of swings and playground equipment in the adjoining picnic area and the hiking trails are mowed as well so you don't have to climb through waist high grass. Restrooms are clean and tho there are only 2 showers the showers have plenty of water and pressure so you don't have to hit the button every 15 seconds. The host is well versed in the surrounding area knowledge. They have no fishing or boating but they have tons of peace & quiet unless its harvest time in which you might hear a combine in the distance. Perfect place to relax. The interstate (I72) is over 2 and a half miles away. 36 campsites w/ 8 no power and 27 w/30 amp only. All sites are back in. Nearest convenient store is in Argenta at Caseys for ice and pop and gas. - illplainsman
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Friends Creek »This is a great little sleepy campground. Perfect if you have to work in Decatur or surrounding area while camping as its very close. There isn't much to do at this campground other than just enjoy having nothing to do but that's OK sometimes. The one thing I didn't like is the caretakers dig out the fire rings and that leaves a hole to collect water and starting a fire in a puddle of water is a bit difficult. Someone should really tell them to stop that, yes it looks nice but is very impractical for using it for what it was designed for. Other than that great park. - firemaninil
