GenieSummary

Pere Marquette State Park is a beautiful and scenic campground located on the banks of the Illinois River, just north of Grafton. The park features a lodge built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, as well as cabins, a restaurant, and a winery. Hiking trails are plentiful, with gorgeous views of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, and the nearby oxbow lakes. There are also biking trails and horseback riding in season. The campground itself has spacious sites, with plenty of grass and mature trees providing a pleasant, shady canopy. Water spigots are available, but some sites may require an extra-long hose to reach them. The campground is usually filled on weekends, and all sites have power, but only a few have water and sewer. The Park Hosts are friendly and helpful, and there is a large play area for kids. There is also a two-lane dump station located up the hill in the tent area. Cell service is limited, but Starlink internet is available, even if it is partially obstructed. The nearby town of Grafton offers food, bars, wineries, and antique shops. This is a great place to stay for a short getaway, with lots of outdoor activities and a peaceful atmosphere.
