Kickapoo State Recreation Area

We arrived on a Thursday and we checked out on Saturday. Plenty of spots were open on Thursday but we had reservations. The loop is fairly wide with no issues for our 32 foot class c. Spots aren’t complete level but isn’t that was leveling jacks are for. All sites have a picnic table and a fire pit. Our site had 30 Amps as well and trash dumpster are everywhere so no excuse to make a mess. Dump station is on the way in and in the way out. Plus they have potable water and non potable water. Over all great stay but why the 4 stars. I’ll tell you. Speed bumps. In my option they are wayyy to big. They rattle your rig quite well so be careful. Even the camp host warned us about the.

I stopped for an overnight stay. My site had electricity but not water or sewer. I did not need those amenities and potable water is available if needed. The restrooms were immaculate. I did not hear any road noise as another reviewer stated but I have a solid camper. Great stop to get off the road, stretch my legs, and sleep in a safe natural area!

We stayed here to be close to the University of Illinois campus (40 mins away). This was a mid-week stay, so the grounds were pretty empty. Our site was on a concrete slab, was level and quite large due to it being handicapped accessible. Really nice campground and park. Shower area we OK, what you expect in a state park. The staff here was pretty friendly, and were quite busy as there was a storm the night we arrived and many downed trees/branches that needed to be cleared. Will look to stay here again in November.

This is a lovely park, with a lot of things to do: hiking, biking, canoe and kayak rentals. The sites are well spaced and in a nice woods. We saw white-tailed deer, Canada geese, fireflies and lots of other critters.

My but is there is NO WATER at the sites. I guess I missed that information somewhere. Also, like all too many public parks, sanitation especially in the rest rooms was spotty at best. I don't think anyone cleaned the rest rooms near our site while we stayed. We also had some large groups for neighbors complete with dogs barking most of the day. That is always a disappointment in an otherwise wonderful setting. Surprisingly, though we felt we were in a nice woods, there was constant highway noise through the night. I guess we were closer to the Interstate than we thought.

Again, this is a lovely setting, it's too bad people can't do a better job of maintaining it.

We stayed in Fox loop and it was very big rig friendly. Large spread out sites, trees trimmed up high. The other loops looked ok but not as easy for large rigs. Sites have electric only but there is potable water available and a dump station. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit and lantern holder. Restrooms and shower houses also scattered about but we didn’t use them.
