Camping near Lawrenceville, Illinois
Lawrenceville sits in southeastern Illinois along the Embarras River in Lawrence County, just across the Wabash from Vincennes, Indiana. The area serves as a practical base for RV travelers exploring the Wabash Border region, with several state parks and a large county-run lake resort within a short drive.
The closest developed campground is at Red Hills State Park, a 967-acre state park midway between Lawrenceville and Olney on US Route 50 that features more than 100 Class A campsites, a 40-acre lake, and reservations handled through the Illinois ExploreMoreIL system. Nearby options include the Horse Camp - Red Hills State Park for equestrian visitors, New Vision RV Park LLC for full-hookup stays, and Hickory Holler Campground for a quieter private-park setting.
South of town, Beall Woods State Park protects one of the largest tracts of old-growth bottomland forest east of the Mississippi and offers a small, rustic campground. About an hour east in Indiana, Sullivan County Park & Lake anchors a 461-acre lake with more than 500 sites.
Things to do around Lawrenceville
Fishing and boating headline the region. Red Hills Lake is stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish, and electric motors only keep the water calm for anglers. Sullivan County Park & Lake permits larger boats with a 30 mph limit and is stocked with hybrid saugeye, walleye, bluegill, bass, and crappie.
Hiking is strongest at Beall Woods State Park, where trails wind past trees reaching 120 feet tall and more than three feet in diameter, and at Red Hills, which offers wooded trails through hills and ravines. Equestrian trails run along the southern side of Red Hills.
Family add-ons include the visitor center and playground at Beall Woods, plus a beach, disc golf, and a nine-hole golf course at Sullivan County Park & Lake.

Red Hills State Park is open year-round, with the busiest months running from May through September. Spring brings wildflowers, migratory birds, and the wettest weather of the year; April is the wettest month in the Vincennes area, so expect soft ground and possible campground puddling.
Summer is the peak booking window at both Red Hills and Sullivan County Park & Lake, with warm humid weather and heavy weekend demand for lakefront sites. Book weeks in advance for holiday weekends. Bug pressure at Beall Woods can be significant in mid-summer, so pack strong repellent and consider screened enclosures.
Fall delivers reliable weather for RVing: cooler nights, lower humidity, and colorful foliage across the hardwood forests. Winter camping is possible at Red Hills, which stays open for cold-weather visitors who ice fish and hike, though many private parks reduce services and some seasonal loops close.
How to book campsites near Lawrenceville
Illinois state park sites at Red Hills are handled through the state's ExploreMoreIL reservation system, and reservations can be made online or by phone. Stays are generally capped at 14 days within any 30-day period.
Beall Woods offers a small campground with sixteen Class C sites that have vehicular access and restrooms but no showers or electricity, and sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving earlier in the day improves the odds of getting in.
Sullivan County Park & Lake takes reservations directly through the park. New Vision RV Park LLC, Hickory Holler Campground, and the Horse Camp - Red Hills State Park should be contacted directly for availability, hookup type, and rig-size limits before travel.
What to expect on the ground
Red Hills is a big-rig-friendly park with wide interior roads, gravel pads, electric hookups, water access, showers, flush toilets, and a dump station. Some sites are pull-through with 50-amp service, while most loops are 30-amp; sites can accommodate rigs up to about 60 feet, with lake-view sites filling first.
Beall Woods is far more rustic. Expect pit toilets, drinking water, a dump station, and picnic tables, with no showers and a small compact layout that fits a limited number of RVs. Cell service is generally usable at Red Hills but can be weaker in the deep woods near Beall Woods.
Roads to both state parks are paved and easy to navigate, though GPS routing to Beall Woods sometimes suggests narrow gravel roads; following posted highway signs from Route 1 near Keensburg is more reliable.
