Lake Taylorville Campground

Camping at Lake Taylorville Campground is peaceful and relaxing, with electrical and water hookups in some of its sites. This waterfront RV campground near Decatur is right next to Taylorville Lake, where you can fish and swim to your heart's content. This pet-friendly RV park is open from early April until late October (contact the park to confirm exact dates) and has restrooms and horseshoe pitches; some of the sites have grass, and there is a playground for younger kids. A marina is close by where you can launch your canoe, kayak, or boat. The park has some sites that are designated for tent camping.

Once you're settled in and ready to start moving beyond the campground, you're minutes away from the city of Taylorville, where you can gas up your rental RV and stock up on any supplies you might be running low on. The city has several urban parks where you can take relaxing walks, a public library, and a municipal airport where you'll find a private parachute tour business. If you like history, there is a historical museum you can check out; if you don't, try the local boutiques where you can shop and browse. One of them has unusual items you might not have seen before or even thought about. Don't forget to take your RV rental for a spin on the local highways; this is one of the unique features of an RV vacation and one you don't want to miss.
