I’ve done a lot of camping in my day. And this is by far the most beautiful campground I’ve ever pitched a tent at! For the primitive folks there aren’t really any designated spots — you just drive around and take your pick! But with the Illinois river to one side and a dense, emerald forest on the other, you really can’t go wrong. At night the fireflies are dancing, the bugs are humming, and there aren’t any pesky neighbors making a racket at 4 in the morning. The only problem is the lack of bathrooms, but if a girl like me can handle the port-o-pot once in a while, so can you!
