Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone has a decent camping recommendation for the local area? I prefer more rural/rustic, so no need for electric hookups.
Just looking for a 1-2 night getaway while my family is out of town.
Thanks!
Brandon

Siloam Springs State Park down by Clayton, IL has a nice backcountry/ Backpack in campsites to it. Never that busy and the 4 sites are set in some large pine trees. Water is not too far away either down over the hill or on the East leg of the Red Oak Back pack trail.
Not too far away in IA you have the Yellow River State Forest which is really nice and has 4 different campsites to backpack to. Also Kickapoo Valley Reserve in WI is nice.
Supposedly you can do dispersed camping/Backpack camping in Jubilee College SP down by Peoria, IL if you talk to the rangers there.
