The Jerry F. Costello Lock and Dam recreation area on the Kaskaskia River offers 15 campsites with 50-amp electric hookups, a visitor center, and boat ramps both above and below the lock for water access.

Amenities include a shower house, vault toilets, water fill stations, and a dump station, making it convenient for RV and tent camping on a first-come, first-served basis at $20 per night.

A short paved trail leads to a scenic overlook of the Kaskaskia and Mississippi River confluence.
