    Thanks for the tour. Cant find anything online related to a camping map. Much appreciated

    I soooo appreciate having found your channel 😀 I'm in one of the Illinois camping groups with you, and your videos are such a great help in deciding on what park(s) I want to camp at, and being able to see the sites beforehand extremely helpful, before making a reservation then arriving only to be disappointed once there... That happened to me at Chain O Lakes this past summer, they guy I spoke to over the phone before I made my reservation suggested a site that he said was everything I was looking for, only to find out that it was the complete opposite! 😡 Thankfully the owner just happened to show up, and he gave me a host site instead 🥰

      Thank you for the comment. I'm pretty low tech but I figure it doesn't take much to give people a general idea of what the campground and campsites look like before they make reservations. The Illinois State Park system is extremely lacking in that aspect.

    Do you prefer Illini or Kankakee?

      I can't honestly give you guidance on that without knowing what you like.
      If I was going somewhere to fish then without a doubt Kankakee. You can fish at Illini but Kankakee is way better. Same goes for if I wanted to enjoy local restaurants or stores.
      If I wanted to be on the river where I could watch the river or see barge traffic then Illini without a doubt as Kankakee offers neither from the campground.
      Tell me what you're looking for and I'll try to give you the best possible answer.

      @@midwestcampingfamily thanks for the quick reply. Car camping with a tent. Just looking for a nice setting/quiet, etc. We live in Lemont so it’s pretty much same distance to either park.

      @@georgevranas498 they are honestly both great options. Personally I like the campground at Illini better but Kankakee is a better area for restaurants as well as grocery and other stores. I think you'd be happy at either though. Are you bringing children with you? If so Kankakee River is a river they could walk around in near shore flipping over rocks and finding crayfish in, Illini has a nice playground and an ice cream shop in the campground (I believe they have reopened after a remodel) and a community pool a short drive away.
