Most of the camping spots here are the drive-in type where you park in your campsite and put up your tent next to the car. The Potawatomi sites have electricity at each site and full bathrooms (toilets/urinals, sinks, & showers) which lessens complaints from the non-campers. It is an easy 20 minute drive over to Reed's canoes in Bourbonnais. My wife and I took two canoes with our two boys and made the 12 mile journey in 3 hours 30 minutes. Sites are on the small side but that was all we needed. It's a state park...not a Hilton ;)

we camped here for a month while visiting family. they have electric but you have to have wasted on board, there are faucets where you can fill your holding tanks and there is a dump station. we loved it as the park was not full and even when it was there was not a lot of noise. there are three separate camp grounds and the river runs next to each one. lots of actives and places to visit near by. Will camp here again.

My son and I started our camp trip at the Chippewa campground. We found a nice, quiet site with no amenities for$8. There were kind camp hosts, walking/bike trails and pit toilets. We spent the day fishing in beautiful Rock Creek. Caught 4 fish and had a blast. The Precambrian rocks are awesome. Parking was easy. Later that night bad weather moved in. I had remembered that the other campground had two rental cabins. We talked to our host and she called over to the other host and found that they had one cabin left. We moved there. They were nice enough to transfer our tent fee towards the 50$ cabin fee. They told us the cabin was bare bones. Either way it would be safer than a tent. We were pleasantly surprised with the little cabin. It had electricity-and ceiling fans. It had two sets of bunks and a double. It had a table for two where we played cards. We lost power mid night into the next day, due to the storm. The cabin was clean and served us well. The campground was nice. Warning though, if you have a fear of spiders, this is not the place for you. I'm not a fan, but they were mostly daddy long legs, but I've never seen so many in my life. The ground crawled with them. Just an FYI. Otherwise it's a nice destination.

I was in the area for an appointment with my kids and decided to take a detour and visit the park. The negatives first: The snack area was closed as were several of the restrooms. The restroom that I visited smelled and had toilet paper all over the floor. I am not shocked by rustic restrooms. I have visited rustic spots in the National Parks, but they were not smelly and were clean. These were gross. The positives: The park itself was mowed and the paved path along the river was pretty. The river was an easy hike from the parking lot. Upon returning home I read up on the history of the park. That history - plentiful - was not readily accessible to the casual visitor - this one from out of state. Interpretative signage or guide maps at tat the parking lots would have been a nice touch. My kids left the park just having seen a river and trees - pretty ones.

So relaxing a visit to see the waters of the river and cliffs at Rock Creek. Wonderfully paved paths and an enjoyable bike route allow a experience of the park's various features. Camping is good and in a relaxing atmosphere. Wonderful Bourbonnais and Kankakee are so close by and give opportunities for good food and drink or entertainment.
