Johnson Sauk Trail State Park

This campground was virtually ideal for us. Lots of spacious level spot options. Some of the camping locations are in a forest of mature pine trees. Miles of hiking trails although some were off limits due to seasonal bow hunting. Beautiful lake! Central bath house was just fine. Primitive toilets are scattered across the park.

The campground was exceptionally quiet.

Our stay was midweek in early October. Weather was ideal. Fall foliage was spectacular. It appears that much of the campground had been reserved for the upcoming weekend; our spot included.

Traveling across country and nice place to stop for 2 days midweek. Sites all booked for the weekend, but nearly empty midweek. Several non-reservable sites for drive-ups available as well. Seperate area for tents. All sites 30 amp electric, no water. Dumpstation and fresh water available at entrance. Level gravel sites, a few all concrete sites as well. Low number sites are all shaded in tall pine forest. Higher numbers are in a different area and have more sun. Bathrooms with showers available. A few walking trails and lake area for fishing, picnics and boat rentals (currently only available Friday through Sunday). Town of Kewanee about 15 minutes away with stores/restaurants.

It was so quiet at night, I heard water dripping outside! Pleasant weather, too, high 70s I. Mid April.

Only sites 2 - 72 open in April 2019 for RV (we have a small truck camper) A bit confusing to pay : at small kiosk some distance from campground. Honor system and winter rate is $18 with Electric, but water is from a pump. Bath house closed ; long drops open and well maintained.

Pleasant well groomed trails and grounds. We decided to come here instead of another one close by because of the maintenance notes on the others.

Just passing. We could have looked for a Walmart but we prefer a quiet campground by far. This is what we got. And at a very reasonable price. With power. Campsites are huge. On gravel but very leveled. Lots of grass between sites and my dog felt like home. Very close to a big lake especially from the site we had. Though to beat.
