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.

Having the RV parked in our driveway for added sleeping arrangements for the family was a game changer! James, the owner, was absolutely fantastic! Dropoff, setup, walk-through, and pick-up could not have gone smoother. Will most definitely book with him again.

Raquel was an excellent communicator. As RV newbies, we had some questions and we got answers almost immediate no matter when we contacted Raquel. Very accommodating and helpful every step of the way! Made our experience so much easier.

Wes’s motorhome is hands-down one of the most beautiful and well-appointed RVs we’ve ever rented. From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear that every detail had been thought of - and then some. The entire coach was spotless, everything felt brand new, and it was stocked better than most people’s own homes: kitchen gadgets, quality linens, outdoor chairs, games, cleaning supplies… you name it, it was there. We quickly realized we had overpacked after learning of all the supplies onboard.
