Spring Lake Campground was est. in 1943. The lake is fed by the Mississippi River and there is access to the lake and directly to the river for kayaking/boating and fishing, which is a popular reason people come to the campground. Another popular draw is that the Great River Bike Trail runs right through! It’s a beautiful ride from the campground to nearby Savanna, IL. There is so much to do in the surrounding area: hiking and climbing at Palisades State Park, restaurants, bars and shopping in Savanna, museums and more. But enjoying a peaceful time at the campground, having a bonfire, watching the sunset on the lake and seeing the stars at night is really what it’s about. True old school camping-enjoying the wildlife sanctuary. Get outside and relax. *We ask that our campers please arrive before dark to find their site and set up to avoid disrupting other campers. It gets really dark! We do not have street lights so people can see the stars. Learn more about this land: A Vintage campground est. 1943. Known for kayaking and fishing, this is a true campground. Instead of pavement, we have grass and trees but our best "amenity" is the peaceful outdoors! The Great River Bike Trail runs right through our campground. Rent a canoe or kayak (through October 1st) Historical Savanna, IL is close by. Enjoy Illinois!

Peninsula Site 1 (35)
Staying overnight on the peninsula was heaven. The perfect weather was amazing so that we could really enjoy the terrific views of the lake and trees. Seriously, it is something out of a movie, so private and quiet. Just what we needed. We will be back!

Danika and James are fantastic hosts, the best! The peninsula site was very spacious and well groomed. Surrounded by water and lots of wild life. So many different species of birds, deer, beaver. Danika and James care about tent campers and made this Peninsula just for us. It was quite refresinf not to be set up against a huge RV. The site is so spacious you are far from campers next to you. I will be back for sure.

Danika was a great communicator and made our trip easy! They have a lovely campground, great views of the water and sunset, and ample access to nature. If you are looking for a slow and easy retreat to the outdoors this is the place to go. Plenty of hikes for all levels in the area, short 1 hour excursions or longer full day trails! Can't wait to come back and explore the river valley some more.

The site had an absolutely beautiful view of Spring Lake and is an incredible birdwatching site. Danika was such a great host and very communicative. I’d absolutely camp here again and hope to make it back next year!
