Glenwood RV Resort
 | Glenwood RV Resort is nestled in the lush Illinois River Valley, just one mile from the Illinois River and only 16 miles from the famous Starved Rock State Park. Large, fully-improved sites are sprinkled throughout this 400-acre park. We have several hundred acres of trails. Enjoy local sightseeing and water sports or relax by Glenwood's pool and swimming pond.......our family and we camped there frequently. Our mother took us there often for two reasons. One to take a break from our every day lives and mostly to get away from my alchoholic father. We went there at all hours of the day and night. In summertime when the sun was shining we swam almost the whole day and when it rained and the only camping spot left in the middle of the night was going downhill,the rain poured through our tent. Even though we went through some definite times of despair, our mother took us to a place where we could feel safe and try and have some joy in life. I remember sitting around the campfire where there were sing-a-longs after the sun went down. Swimming all day, hiking all day in the trails surrounding the campgrounds with new found friends was always a ton of fun. I have lived in Arizona and California since 1983 and I still have a strong desire to bring my children to a place I called home many a terrifying night. I found comfort in the down to earth spirit of Glenwood Farms. I only hope it is as simple and beautiful as I remember it. Betty Jo Ledw... |

Rolling Oaks Camp Ground
| 11 miles away
I had the best time at rolling oaks campground on July 8th through July the 14th, and plan on going back in about a week to spend some more time up there with my boyfriend before the summer ends. It's a beautiful place to be, especially at night time with a camp fire going, and just the two of us sitting there under the stars cuddled up together.... |

Vermilion River
 | 25 miles away
Please, do not go past Lowell into Oglesby. I have had a bad experience at the Buzzi cement Plant Dam in Olgesby. Many people go over it and have drowned. Including one more this weekend. Please PULL OUT your canoe to the right, if you insist on going this way....I am from Japan and when i went to the vermilion river it was awesome. Japan does not have anything like it....This is an awesome trip when the river is high enough, its best to go in the spring and early summer, You can also put in farther up stream in streator or numerous other spots on the way down. This river has beautiful scenery, cliffs, outcroppings, and wildlife. There is lots of nice flat water and ripples and lots of sandbars to pitch a tent or hang out for the day. It flows through Sandy Ford and Matthiessen state park. The stretch between red,white, and blue bridge and lowell bridge (the put in described on this page) also has some fun whitewater before you get to lowell bridge... |

Grand Geneva

I think Grand Geneva is where I went skiing last year when I was up there visiting some old friends, but it may have been some other similar place. It was my first time skiing, it was great. I fell a lot but you know, you just get up again, that's just the way it goes. Looking forward to going again some time.... |
Alpine Valley

Alpine Valley is a very good ski resort for being in Wisconsin, it's a bit more on the easy side of the spectrum so if you're an advanced skier you might get bored. But I love it, it's a great place for a relaxing day of skiing. I come here a lot with my family and we all like it.... |
