Camping at White Pines SP in Illinois?

[Bianchina3]

Has anyone camped at White Pines SP with a TT or 5th wheel? It says it is tent only but I have seen comments that people have camped with a trailer. In addition one review said it was horrible because of train noise but I was hoping I could get feedback from some that has been there.

I was looking at that state park too but decided to head down to clinton lake state park instead. I didn't know if I could fit my 33' trl in their.

Hi,

White Pines is pretty limited, but Lowden State Park is not far away from it, and is far better situated for trailers.

We take our Silverback 33 RL there every so often, and while the campground itself is sort of small (compared to places like Rock Cut or Starved Rock), we have no room maneuvering or finding spots long enough. The front of the campground does butt up against the highway, but the back end has a more private feel.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Rich.
Yes the information helps alot. I don't live to far from these state parks and I have been wanting to try them out.

Hi,

Of course that should be "no problem" instead of "no room".
