The best beach camping near Oak Run

Oak Run dishes up over 400 beach camping options for those who want sand at their doorstep and water within walking distance. Expect to pay around $30 a night, with some sites dipping as low as $30. You’ll find campsites that let you fall asleep to the sound of waves, fire up a campfire, and rinse off in hot showers. Hiking, fishing, and wildlife-watching are right on your doorstep. For a spot that campers keep talking about, check out Kickapoo Creek Getaway (8 reviews). Most sites offer toilets, and campfires are welcome—just bring your marshmallows. If you want straightforward access to the lake, look for campsites set back from the main roads. Locals know: early mornings are best for wildlife, and the fishing’s solid all day.

2. 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.

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!

5. 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.
