Wildcat Springs Park — Attraction in Illinois

As far as the park goes, it's a park.. I went because the park has a campground ... so that is what my review is based on. I've spent 3 years traveling the country and stopping at places to camp and this is the first $30.00 city park campground that I've ever come across. There is electric and a dump station ( which is $5 if not camping ) there is a nice Frisbee golf course and a few play areas .. but there is no geode collecting allowed ( signs are posted ). There is a shower and toilet that those who are camping can use but it is a long but walkable distance from the campground and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't lock the door .. so I was not able to use it. The parking pads are level and the picnic tables are not .. it was impossible to find the rate online but I never would have gone if I knew...

We were on a cross country bike tour and ended up camping at wildcat springs park. It was really a treat especially for a smaller town. The grounds maintenance man was really great and did an awesome job keeping the park clean. All the sites have electricity and water and they have WIFI. they accommodate RV and tents. There is a sweet pool with spring boards and snacks and a really awesome disc golf course along with a real golf course not to far away. The city is small but friendly and although there isn't much in town the pharmacy had fruit and some other groceries and the Mexican restaurant was really good. Just a few minutes across the river the city has more restaurants...

A great place to immerse yourself in the local wilderness and see some wildlife. It's a family friendly location with easy to navigate paths. Respect your surroundings, if you visit. In the summer, there are trash cans and bathrooms, but if you come at other times of the year, bring a plastic bag for your trash and don't expect the bathrooms to be unlocked. Be kind, don't litter, and help keep Wildcat Springs as the natural habitat...
