Campgrounds near Streator, Illinois
Streator sits in north-central Illinois within easy reach of the Illinois River valley, where LaSalle County holds one of the state's densest clusters of campgrounds. Most travelers base a trip around Matthiessen State Park, located in central LaSalle County, approximately four miles south of Utica and three miles east of Oglesby, and the 510-acre Illini State Park, located south of the Illinois River between Marseilles and U.S. Route 6. Starved Rock State Park anchors the region and is a short drive north.
RV renters have a mix of public and private options. Illini State Park offers two distinct camping areas, Great Falls Campground and Whitetail Campground, both with electric sites. Glenwood RV Resort sits inside Marseilles, and Kayak Starved Rock Campground and Pleasant Creek Campground offer private sites near the state park corridor.
The Equestrian - Matthiessen State Park campground is a specialized facility. This is specifically an equestrian campground, meaning you must have horses to camp here, exclusively for visitors bringing horses, so it is not an option for standard RV travelers without horses.
Things to do near Streator
Hiking is the main draw. Starved Rock and its sandstone canyons draw most visitors, and the Illinois River offers fishing, boating, and canyon overlooks reachable in a short drive from most area campgrounds. Steep sandstone walls carved by ancient glacial meltwater create striking topography that is unusual for Illinois, and trails provide access to canyons like St. Louis, Wildcat, and French.
Matthiessen adds waterfalls and dells. Matthiessen State Park has 5 miles of well-marked, well-surfaced hiking trails for a relaxing walk or a vigorous hike, plus cross-country ski routes in winter and multi-use trails shared with horses and mountain bikes.
On the water, the Illinois River offers ample supplies of crappie, bass, bluegill, catfish and other species, and a boat ramp is available at Illini State Park. The canal borders the park, and visitors can watch as large barges pass through the Marseilles Locks, a low-effort family stop between hikes.

The region runs on a classic Midwest season. State park campgrounds fill fastest from late spring through fall. The Starved Rock Campground fills quickly every year, and it is highly recommended to place reservations 6 months before the date of a campout; weekends May through October fill first. Illini State Park is generally quieter and easier to book on short notice.
Winter access is limited but not closed. The West Loop is open all year round, but the East Loop closes the weekend before Thanksgiving through April 1st at Starved Rock. Cross-country skiing is permitted at Matthiessen in winter, and ice climbing is allowed if conditions permit.
Equestrian camping is seasonal only. The horseback riders' camping and multi-use trails are open from May 1 (weather permitting, determined by park staff) through the second weekend of November.
How to book a site
Illinois state park campgrounds use a single online system. Reservations can only be made online at ExploreMoreIL, and cancellations must be made online only at ExploreMoreIL or by calling 866-716-6550. Reservations cannot be made online within 2 days prior to the actual date; this is when the walk-in period for sites begins, and walk-ins are first come, first served at the campground.
Book early for peak dates. Reservations can be made 4 days to 6 months in advance through the ExploreMoreIL portal, so set a calendar reminder for the six-month mark when targeting a summer weekend at Starved Rock.
The equestrian loop is different. Sites are first come first serve and reservations cannot be made through the park or online; campers complete a registration envelope at the campground and drop the information and fee in the box provided. Private campgrounds such as Glenwood RV Resort, Pleasant Creek Campground, and Kayak Starved Rock Campground use their own booking channels.
What to expect on site
State park sites are electric-only. At Starved Rock, the campground has 133 Class-A Premium campsites, electric hook-up only, with 30 amp or 50 amp sites, and 30 amp sites also contain 20 amp/110-volt outlets. Plan to arrive with full fresh water and use the dump station on the way in or out. Water hydrants can be found throughout the campground, porta potties are located throughout as well as two separate shower houses with flush toilets, and the dump station and trash containers are at the entrance and exit.
Illini State Park is more rustic in places. Facilities include vault toilets, drinking water pumps, and fire grates at each site, though showers and dump stations are located in the Grand Falls section.
Expect uneven cell coverage, gravel or grass pads, and quiet hours in the evening. Firewood is available on site or from local vendors, and alcohol is prohibited in Illinois state park campgrounds.
