Nauvoo State Park

We stayed here in Mid- October, in a 24 foot travel trailer. No way to pay, that we could find. We pulled into the big cement pad, probably the camp host site. Electric worked, bathrooms were heated, modern, and functional. Nobody else in loop A but 2 others. Sites a bit unlevel, and most are pull throughs. We enjoyed walking into the cute town of Nauvoo, all done up with stuffed scarecrows for Halloween. Also visited Old Nauvoo, across from the park, where we were treated to demonstrations of crochet, weaving, rug making, rope making, bread and barrel making. Everyone we met here was very friendly and happy to share their history with us. Would stay again,even if we had to pay, but probably not during July or August. Trains run frequently, but far enough away not to be jarring.

We camped in the trees in this pretty park. There’s a lake down the hill where you can fish for rainbow trout in season. The campsites are well spaced. There are pull through sites if you need it. Both water/electric sites and dry camping sites available. Nice clean bath house with free hot showers.
