Electrical hookups are available on sites 1-101, with both 30 and 50 amp service on selected sites. Centralized water spigots exist throughout the campground, but may be turned off due to freezing temperatures. Two shower buildings are available as well as a sanitary dump station at Kickapoo for camper use. One shower building will stay open to allow year-round camper access. Campers occupying electrical sites are required to pay for electricity even if the service is not used. Walk-in sites are available to campers throughout the year and can be obtained from the campground host at the check station.
The maximum length of stay is 14 days in a 30-day period and all campground guests must check in with the campground host before entering the campground.
Campers must have camping equipment with them the day they register to camp as well as occupy the site that day. All campers must obtain a camping permit from the campground host or through reservations before entering the campgrounds.

We walked a very large part of the trail, never found a place to let the puppies splash around in the lake.
Simple campground in a prairie surrounded by the woods. Easily accessible by bike via the Rock Island State Trail. Limited car parking, but you'll still need to hike to the campground. A peaceful oasis near Peoria.
Great campsite. No road access, walk from the parking lot is something like 2/3 of a mile, or access via the Rock Island Trail. It's generally fairly quiet.
There are two pit latrine stalls. There's no water available in the campsite, so be sure to bring everything you need.
Nice place, only accessible through trail. No rest room and water is also not available.
