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)

Tent camping went great! We were a few feet from the Mississippi and the land was well taken care of. The owners stopped in to say hi & make sure we were all good to go within the first hour of being there :) great place!!!

Peninsula Site 1 (35)

Dreamy and Intentional

I'll start with, if Peninsula 1 (35) is open, do not hesitate! Also, one night will not be enough. Not only is this site wonderfully stacked with hearty trees, just enough shade, a nice breeze off the water... Any site lining the way to the tip is just stellar. The bathroom is well kept. The outdoor shower was a super treat. I enjoyed access to the store and history of the land. Danika and James are a true pleasure to meet and care very much about the integrity of the land and its past. As well, providing excitement about the natural wonders like the many birds home to this space. I felt at home within minutes of parking my car, NO JOKE! I'll be a repeat camper for surely.
