Cave-In-Rock State Park
Explore a unique cave formation that looks like a giant poked a hole in a rock.
Travel into Illinois and proceed south, almost to where Illinois meets Indiana and Kentucky. Stop when you see the beautiful limestone cliffs overlooking the Ohio River. A majestic, 55-foot-wide cave stands watch over the water in a large rectangular boulder. Native Americans used the cave, and so did river pirates in the late 1700s.
Hiking trails around the cave let you imagine what life was like 200 years ago. The Ohio River was a major shipping lane. Boats would come down the river headed to New Orleans. Wooden cargo rafts eventually gave way to steamboats with their white plumes of smoke.

Relax after a fun day of exploring at the on-site restaurant. The lodge serves Southern-style dishes for hearty appetites. Sit back and watch the anglers in the river below after your meal.
Sleep in scenic campgrounds on the north end of the park. Choose from 34 RV sites and 25 rustic tent sites. Use your campsite as a headquarters for traveling to Garden of the Gods Recreation Area.

1 campground in Cave-In-Rock State Park
With Class A sites that many visitors agree are well cared for, Cave-In-Rock Campground is a welcome contrast to the cave you will have likely explored earlier in the day. Camp gets a little more crowded and pricier on major holiday weekends like Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. On weekends, hit the lodge for a breakfast buffet. Read more...
