Camping at Johnson Sauk Trail State Recreation Area near Kewanee

State park · Kewanee · 85 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

From cross-country skiing in the winter to a lazy picnic in the summer, from a fishing trip in the spring to exploring fields of wildflowers amidst the fall colors of the giant oaks, Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area truly is a park for all seasons. Located on a glacial moraine that forms the beautiful, rolling hills of Henry County in north-central Illinois, the park sits astride a trail that led Native Americans from Lake Michigan to the confluence of the Mississippi and Rock rivers.
