Nauvoo Campground

Is there anything better than motorhome camping on the banks of the Mississippi, surrounded by the rolling grasslands of Illinois? Rent an RV near Nauvoo Campground, and you will soon find out. Nestled on the border with Iowa, it features over 100 campsites, a combination of sites with electric and no hookups. There are also toilets and showers, as well as a dump station, making your stay even more convenient. Another great thing about the campground is that it is surrounded by Nauvoo State Park, a green oasis offering a range of exciting outdoor activities.

If you don’t want to stay in one park all the time and are ready to explore the natural beauties of the region, you are in luck. The mighty Mississippi hides plenty of wonderful spots along its banks where you can park your rental RV and relax, and there are many more rivers nearby that shape the landscape of the area, such as the Missouri, Illinois, and Des Moines rivers. Travelers who are looking forward to lakeside camping can do exactly that at one of the nearby lakes or spend a few hours on the road and get to the shores of the giant Lake Michigan.

City life is not without its charms, and there are numerous cities you can quickly get to when you search for an RV in Hancock County. Peoria is waiting for campers two hours' drive to the east, home to interesting attractions such as the Peoria Riverfront Museum and the Peoria Zoo. A place that will cater to both history buffs and foodies, Springfield, the state capital, is another city you should put on your itinerary. Follow the Mississippi River south, and you will arrive at St. Louis where you can spend the afternoon on a relaxing paddlewheel ride guarded by the towering Gateway Arch.
