Campgrounds near St. Francisville
St. Francisville sits in Lawrence County in southeastern Illinois, along the Wabash River across from Indiana. The village is a short drive from two Illinois state parks that anchor RV camping in the area: Red Hills State Park in Lawrence County, midway between Olney and Lawrenceville on U.S. 50, covering roughly 948 acres of wooded hills, ravines, meadows, and year-round springs, and Beall Woods State Park on the banks of the Wabash River, known for one of the few remaining tracts of virgin timber east of the Mississippi River.
RV travelers have a mix of options. The Red Hills campground features more than 100 Class A campsites, with online reservations handled through ExploreMoreIL, and the park also runs a separate equestrian campground used by Horse Camp - Red Hills State Park. Beall Woods offers a small, quiet camping area with basic amenities: picnic tables, pit toilets, drinking water, and a dump station.
For full-hookup travel, New Vision RV Park LLC and Weather Rock Camp Ground serve travelers close to town, while the Grayville / I-64 KOA Holiday sits directly off Interstate 64 for easy highway access.
Things to do near St. Francisville
Red Hills State Park is the main draw for on-site recreation. The 40-acre lake is popular for fishing, with largemouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, and bluegill available from bank or boat. Gas motors are prohibited, so paddling and electric-motor boats set the pace on the no-wake water. Around eight miles of trails wind through the park, with roughly three miles of hiking on the north side of U.S. Route 50 and five miles of equestrian and biking trails on the south side when conditions allow.
Beall Woods is built around its old-growth forest and river setting. About 329 acres of old-growth forest hold many of the largest trees in Illinois, well-defined trails allow exploration on foot, and the park has a well-regarded interpretive visitors center. A small lake offers fishing and paddling with electric trolley motors only.
At the Grayville / I-64 KOA Holiday, families use the on-site playground, adventure mini-golf, and Westwood Saloon restaurant without leaving camp.

Southeastern Illinois has a four-season climate, and campgrounds respond accordingly. Beall Woods stays open year-round from sunrise to 10 p.m., closing only on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Red Hills is busiest from spring through fall, with the peak stretching from April into November. Spring brings wildflowers and greening woods, but Wabash River bottomland can be muddy after storms, and equestrian trails at Red Hills open at the discretion of park staff based on soil conditions.
Summer is the busiest stretch for family camping, with warm, humid days, frequent afternoon thunderstorms, and heavy tree cover offering welcome shade. Weekends at the Grayville / I-64 KOA Holiday and the state park campgrounds book up quickly, especially around holidays.
Fall pulls in leaf-peepers and hunters, with cooler nights and colorful hardwood foliage across the parks. In winter, when the ice is thick enough, ice fishing and ice skating are possible on Red Hills Lake, and archery deer season overlaps parts of both fall and winter, so campers should confirm hunt-area boundaries with staff on arrival.
How to book a site
State-park bookings run through the Illinois DNR system. Reservations are accepted online through ExploreMoreIL, and Red Hills has more than 100 Class A campsites with vehicular access that provide electricity, a sanitary dump station, water, and access to a modern accessible building with showers and flush toilets. Reservations must be placed at least three days before arrival, and stays are capped at 14 nights within a 30-day period. Horse Camp - Red Hills State Park is a separate Class C equestrian area within the same system.
At Beall Woods, first-come, first-served sites are the norm, with park staff issuing camping permits on site. Private parks use their own systems: the Grayville / I-64 KOA Holiday books through the KOA website or app, and New Vision RV Park LLC and Weather Rock Camp Ground take reservations directly. RV renters should confirm rig-length limits and hookup type at time of booking.
What to expect on the ground
Sites vary in polish. Red Hills has more than 100 Class A campsites for tents and RVs with electric hookups, picnic tables, grills, gravel pads, toilets, and showers. Some sites are pull-through with 50-amp service. There are no sewer hookups, but a dump station is on site, and the wooded campsites can accommodate trailers and RVs up to 45 feet.
Beall Woods is rustic by comparison. Sites have no electric hookups, pit toilets serve the campground, drinking water and a dump station are available, and cell service in the Wabash bottoms can be spotty.
The Grayville / I-64 KOA Holiday is a Western-themed facility with 68 RV sites, 10 deluxe cabins, a restaurant and bar, playground, and a themed adventure mini-golf course, making it the most amenity-heavy option in the area.
