Situated along the Illinois River, the park offers a number of canyons and cliffs formed out of St. Peter sandstone, making it perfect for hiking and trekking. With activities like hiking, boating, camping, ice climbing, trolley tours, and waterfalls, there is plenty to keep you busy. The waterfalls in the park start flowing in spring and after heavy rainfall, adding to the overall charm of the park. With geology dating back millions of years, the park has a number of sites that are of great archaeological significance, and worth checking out on your visit.

This was our first time "Glamping" and absolutely loved it thanks to the awesome experience with Jessica. She responded quickly to our initial request , answered all our questions and was very accommodating with the delivery and set up. Her RV is pristine and worked perfect for the 2 of us and our Pup ..... We went to Starved Rock with a group and everyone seemed impressed with our RV. We can't wait to rent again and hope that it works for us to work with Jessica again.
Thank You for making our weekend away just perfect - Mark , Maria and Gus.
