About this campground
Cave-in-Rock State Park in Cave-In-Rock Illinois offers primitive tent and RV camping in a shaded setting with paved roads and site drives. The heavily wooded park is named for the 55-foot-wide cave that was carved out of the limestone rock by water thousands of years ago. Trails winding along the riverbank offer river scenes including riverboats and barges.
What campers say
Cave-In-Rock State Park centers on an impressive riverfront cave that’s easy to explore via a stairway descent. The cavern is wide with a natural light opening and extends on the order of tens of yards, making a one- to two-hour visit enjoyable for photos and mild adventure. Park features include picnic shelters, grills, a playground and a few cabins, but services in town can be limited and some restrooms are basic. Parking access can be confusing (restaurant directions have confused visitors), so expect a short walk to the cave entrance.
