Something not right?
Description
Old State park area with 2 big parking facing Mississippi River. Safe, beautiful, and good for big rig. Ah and a lot of pecan trees!

Latest Check-Ins
Some road and tug boat noise but otherwise very quiet and remote. Great spot to park for the night and make breakfast in the morning.
Report Check-InExellent location, quiet except around 9pm yesterday that they were moving a huge boat about 30 yards from our position
Report Check-InGood spot, nice views on the river(s), quiet. Has a portable Toilet.
Report Check-InDrove here looks nice but is completely closed/gated/locked off because the road to access the site is under many feet of water
Report Check-InStayed in our RV - very quiet, right on the two rivers. No other campers/vehicles around. Beautiful sunrise! Lots of barge activity - fascinating to watch.
Report Check-InNice little spot with a stellar view. It is basically a large parking lot with no amenities, but good cell service on ATT. It is fun to watch the tug boats throughout the day. Not sure if it’s 100% legit to stay, but no “no overnight parking” signs anywhere.
Report Check-InNot much here. a few picnic tables and a garbage can. Free to park overnight, I asked the maintenance man when he came by. The website says there's a campground here, but there's not. it had a port-o-potty the first day, but it was taken away the second night? not sure what that was about, but I left the next morning. Cool place, otherwise. It's located at the most southern tip of illinois, where the Mississippi and Ohio rivers meet. You can actually see the border of 3 states: Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri. It could be a cool place if they kept up with it better and added some amenities.
Report Check-InKiller views when sun comes up. Nobody bothers you tugboats can be a little loud but still worth it
Report Check-InSeems legit been here for a few hours no body around River is sweet I’ll check in am
Report Check-InThis location was closed when we tried, gate was locked. Looked like the area had some recent flooding so maybe that was the case but we cannot confirm
Report Check-Ingorgeous views of the rivers, amazing sunrise, tons of green space and large trees, no one doing rounds at night and no "no overnight parking" signs.
Report Check-InDidn’t stay the night here, but nice place, no one around, big grassy area and paved parking, porto-potty, nice place to stop for lunch and stretch the legs or possibly stay for the night.
