Camping near Andover, Illinois
Andover is a small village in Henry County, western Illinois, positioned between the Quad Cities to the northwest and Galesburg to the south. RV travelers use it as a quiet base for exploring the Rock River corridor, the Hennepin Canal Parkway, and the Mississippi River waterfront around Moline and East Moline. Interstate 80 sits just north of town, giving easy highway access from Chicago, Des Moines, and points beyond.
Campgrounds in the immediate area lean toward small, family-run parks with a mix of full-hookup and partial-hookup sites. Shady Lakes RV Resort and Whispering Pines Events & Lodging serve travelers who want a settled park close to Andover itself, while Geneseo Campground sits along the Hennepin Canal a short drive west.
For river-based trips, Lundeen's Landing Campground and Tube Rentals and Lundeen's Rock River Landing put RVs directly on the banks of the Rock River, with boat launches, docks, and tube shuttles built into the stay.
Things to do around Andover
The Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park is a 104.5-mile linear park spanning five counties in northwestern Illinois, with a towpath used for cycling, walking, canoeing, and fishing for bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. Geneseo Campground sits directly alongside the canal and rents kayaks, canoes, pedal carts, and bikes seasonally.
The Rock River is the other main draw. Lundeen's Landing Campground and Tube Rentals runs four-mile and eight-mile tube trips, plus kayak and canoe rentals with shuttle service, and Lundeen's Rock River Landing has beach access, a boat ramp, and fishing docks.
Families also use Andover as a jumping-off point for the Quad Cities, where the John Deere Pavilion, Mississippi River trails, and Niabi Zoo in Coal Valley are all inside a thirty-minute drive.

The main RV season across this part of Illinois runs from April through October. Kayak, canoe, and tube rentals along the Rock River and Hennepin Canal typically operate from April through Halloween, and most private parks near Andover follow the same window. Geneseo Campground and Lundeen's Landing Campground and Tube Rentals both operate from April 1 through October 31, so winter travelers need to plan around limited local options.
Late spring brings the wettest weather of the year: May is the peak rainfall month, and river levels on the Rock and Mississippi can run high after storms. Summer is the busiest booking window, especially around Fourth of July and Quad Cities event weekends.
Fall is generally the most comfortable stretch, with cooler nights, fewer bugs, and lower campground occupancy. Winter is cold enough that most private campgrounds close or shift to limited service, and snow accumulates from roughly November through March.
How to book a campsite near Andover
Most private campgrounds in the Andover area take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, and several also list on aggregators such as Campspot and Good Sam. Geneseo Campground accepts online bookings and takes same-day reservations up until 6pm local time, which can be useful for RV renters traveling on flexible schedules.
For summer weekends and holiday periods, book well in advance. Popular waterfront sites at Lundeen's Landing Campground and Tube Rentals and Lundeen's Rock River Landing often sell out first, followed by full-hookup pull-thrus at Geneseo Campground.
Read each park's cancellation, check-in window, and pet policies before booking, since rules vary from park to park in this region.
What to expect on-site
Campgrounds around Andover are generally small to mid-sized, with site counts in the dozens rather than the hundreds. Expect a mix of pull-thru and back-in sites, 30 and 50 amp electric, and a combination of full-hookup and water-electric-only options. Geneseo Campground, for example, has around seventy RV sites plus four cabins and a yurt, along with a dog park, camp store, laundry, and rec room, with fiber Wi-Fi across the property.
Road access is straightforward on Interstate 80 and Illinois Highway 82, but watch for low bridge clearances on some approaches, including a ten-foot railroad overpass on Highway 82 through Geneseo and a twelve-foot bridge on the route into Lundeen's Landing off SR-5/92.
Cell coverage is generally reliable across Henry County, and several parks offer Wi-Fi.
