I would like to go camping in a legit campsite. Not one that has pools or tennis courts. I also do not want to be close to other people who are also camping. Does anyone know of a place worth going?


Answer
Actually, when I was a kid living in Illinois we always went to Missouri or Wisconsin to camp. ;)

I don't like sites that are too developed either... so tend to avoid the privately owned parks. Have you checked into the Illinois State Parks system? Look at the list of sites - they indicate which parks have running water vs pit toilets, and which parks are consistently at capacity. Kind of nice that they do that.

You can also try the Shawnee National Forest:

how old do you have to be to go camping with no supervision?

I am 16 and wanted to know if it is legal to camp at a camp site with no parental supervision? I live in Wisconsin if that helps.


Answer
You can camp at dispersed camping locations within national forests and BLM lands where no fees are charged and as long as your not doing anything stupid or breaking any laws Johnny law ranger won't bother you. look at national forests in your area and call the local ranger office for specific locations you can camp in
