Glenwood RV Resort
 | 17 miles away Glenwood RV Resort is nestled in the lush Illinois River Valley, just one mile from the Illinois River and only 16 miles from the famous Starved Rock State Park. Large, fully-improved sites are sprinkled throughout this 400-acre park. We have several hundred acres of trails.

I remember sitting around the campfire where there were sing-a-longs after the sun went down. Swimming all day, hiking all day in the trails surrounding the campgrounds with new found friends was always a ton of fun. I have lived in Arizona and California since 1983 and I... |
