The best beach camping near London Mills

London Mills isn’t just farmland and quiet roads—over 440 campsites put you right on the sand. Set up your tent and wake up to the sound of water and wide-open sky. Average price is $30 a night, with options that start there, too. You’ll find places like Kickapoo Creek Getaway (8 reviews) where you can fish at sunrise, hit the snow trails in winter, or hike after lunch. Most sites include showers, toilets, and let you build a campfire—no fuss, just the basics sorted. Bring your rod, lace up your boots, and enjoy the kind of quiet you can’t get in town.

Top-rated campgrounds near London Mills

1. Jubilee College State Park

107 sites · Brimfield, Illinois

It’s called Jubilee for a reason, people! You’re going to want to shout from the rooftop once you set your sights on the natural landscape and abundant wildlife. Whether you want to go hunting, hiking, fishing, or biking (we’re poets and we know it) Jubilee is the place to be. Bring your horse or bike to the trails for an added level of fun. Don’t just make this a spring/summer visit: swing by in the cooler months for a taste of snow activities! Jubilee sounds almost too good to be true.

2. Spring Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area

81 sites · Banner, Illinois

You may catch some crappie, but your time at Spring Lake will be totally rad. Overlooked by a large sandstone bluff, Spring Lake is a long, narrow lake born from a meander of the Illinois River. It’s actually divided into two separate lakes, making it a fishing frenzy. The north has largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, muskie, channel catfish, sunfish, bullheads, and carp. The south has largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, channel catfish, northern pike, sunfish, and carp. Forgot your boat? Not to worry! Rentals are available near the south boat ramp. And if you’re yearning for the whole livin’ off the land experience, the park houses three campgrounds.

3. Argyle Lake State Park

112 sites · Colchester, Illinois

Fall in love with fishing at this lake in western Illinois.

Electrical hookup

4. Rock Island State Trail

1 site · Princeville, Illinois

Walk along an old railroad bed at this linear state park in north-central Illinois.

5. Anderson Lake State Fish & Wildlife Area

100 sites · Bath, Illinois

Bring your binoculars to Anderson Lake State Fish & Wildlife Area; this place is a birder’s paradise. Swell up with patriotic pride when you spot a bald eagle or two in the winter, and gawk at the huge number of white pelicans that gather here each spring as they head north during migration. If birding’s not your thing and you can’t tell a pelican from a bald eagle, then 1) you might need to get your eyes checked, and 2) no worries—there’s plenty else to do besides ogle at our feathery friends here.Take advantage of the park’s two public boat ramps and tour the lake via your vessel. Cast a line for crappie, bluegill, bass, and more (the fishing’s especially good in early spring). Hunting for deer, rabbit, quail, and duck are also popular pastimes. And if all else fails, simply take in the beauty of a sparkling lake surrounded by silver maple, cottonwood, and lovely willow trees. That’s what the “great outdoors” is all about!

6. Woodford State Fish & Wildlife Area

12 sites · Rome, Illinois

Spend the weekend surrounded by luscious flora and fauna at Woodford State Fish and Wildlife Area along the eastside of the Illinois River. With 2,462 acres of water, you won’t be surprised to see waterfowl, beaver, muskrat, and mink as you tool around the waters. Fish for crappies and bullhead in the Upper Peoria and Goose Lakes, but keep an eye on the sky! A bald eagle or two have been known to grace visitors with their appearance! Spend all day or camp all weekend long. You can’t go wrong either way!

7. Weinberg-King State Fish & Wildlife Area

19 sites · Augusta, Illinois

Listen to the chirp of songbirds as you meander along the rolling hillsides at the Weinberg-King Fish & Wildlife Area. Autumn olive trees and honeysuckle dot this 772-acre slice of land, where a wide variety of hunting and fishing would have just about anyone game. We recommend that horse-lovers flock here, for they will find refuge in the 30 miles of bridle trails and a special campground for equestrian campers. Whether you're interested in kicking back at the 4-acre pond or just keeping an eye out for deer and fox squirrels, we have a feeling you'll be restored and rejuvenated after your stay.

8. Marshall State Fish & Wildlife Area

7 sites · Hopewell, Illinois

Three distinct areas of this park offer varied outdoor activities.
