"My husband and I really enjoyed this place. Very pretty and clean. Parking spots are really level and there is a lot of shade. Well maintained and the pool is really nice. The owners are really friendly and there are a lot of good things to eat in the office including garlic stuffed olives and bread and butter pickles which are awesome!!! We will definitely go back and soon!!!”
Janet Davis Ruddell
"Our favorite campground for sure. We couldn’t have been treated any better than we were by Shawn and the staff at Whittington Woods. Beautiful campground and so very well maintained. If you are traveling through Western Illinois on I-57 this is a must stay. Thank you to everyone who went out there way to assist us while we dealt with our vehicle issues.”
Michael Friedmann Sr
"This beautiful and relaxing campground is complete with a friendly, helpful staff, shady spots, a garden, chickens, and my favorite…..wood carvings of various things like Abe Lincoln, Rocky the squirrel, Labrador Retrievers, a pelican, and a boy fishing….just to name a few. We have stayed here twice in the past 3 years and have had a good experience both times.”
