Getting Outdoors
Illini State Park provides several opportunities to stretch your legs. You can hike around the area near the falls via the short, easy Marasottawa Trail, accessible from all campgrounds at Illini State Park. The Illini-Wek Cross Country Ski Trail is a beautiful riverside loop trail for winter activities, but you can also enjoy the idyllic river from this trail in the summer too. For further exploration, you can walk the road to the west end of the park where the canal locks are located, as well as many picnic facilities. You'll find picnic tables along all other trails as well.
Camping at Illini State Park
The campground at Illini State Park is open year-round. Forty-five back-in RV sites can accommodate your rental RV up to 50 feet in length. Most sites, however, are in the 30 to 40-foot range. Sites have gravel driveways and grassy picnic areas with tables and fire rings. There are also an additional 55 tent sites with small driveways that may be suitable for standard-size rental campervans. Campers looking for more privacy may take issue with how close the campsites are, but the trees do provide excellent shade.
Exploring the Area
One interesting piece of history near Illini State Park is the 1848 Illinois-Michigan Canal, connecting the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. While much of the canal was filled in when the railroads started booming, the portion of the canal near the park is still in use. You can explore several exhibits along the canal corridor to learn about its history.

We had an amazing experience renting Ol' Bootstrap! The RV was super easy to drive, and both setup and tear down were straightforward, even for us as newbie RVers. The bed and dinette were surprisingly comfortable, and we loved the awesome movie selection for winding down in the evenings. The free coffee was a nice bonus and made mornings that much better!

After being away from camping since the 90s when our 4 girls were still at home, our re-introduction to camping in WI and the UP of MI and then down the MI side of Lake MI after all these years was delightful. The Krzeszewski family were a joy to work with! It was great meeting them and working with them.
