Starved Rock State Park Campground offers 133 Class-A Premium campsites with electric hookups (30 or 50 amp) located along the Illinois River, featuring amenities including two shower houses, water hydrants, dump station, and a seasonal camp store.

The campground provides direct access to 13 miles of hiking trails through scenic canyons and a boat launch at the west end of the park for fishing and paddling (boats prohibited within 600 feet of the dam due to dangerous currents).

Reservations are required and can be made 6 months to 4 days in advance online; the campground fills quickly, especially May through October weekends.
