About Big Rock Campground
Big Rock Campground offers a unique blend of open prairie camping and forested tranquility, with spacious sites and modern amenities that cater to both RV enthusiasts and tent campers alike. The campground's well-maintained grounds feature a mix of grassy and gravel sites, each equipped with electric hookups and convenient access to water. Despite its proximity to suburban areas, the preserve's natural setting provides a peaceful escape, with opportunities for wildlife viewing and stargazing.
Located within the Big Rock Forest Preserve in Kane County, Illinois, this campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the region's natural beauty. The preserve itself boasts mature woodlands, high-quality marshes, and clear-running creeks, offering visitors a diverse range of ecosystems to discover. A 1.25-mile screenings trail connects the campground to Siegler Lake, a former limestone quarry turned 32-acre fishing destination, perfect for anglers seeking a quiet spot to cast their lines.
The campground's design caters to various camping styles, from primitive tent sites to full-service RV spots, making it suitable for weekend getaways or extended stays. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the on-site horseback riding area and the network of multi-use trails that wind through the preserve, providing ample opportunities for hiking, biking, and equestrian activities. For those interested in local history and culture, the nearby town of Big Rock offers a glimpse into rural Illinois life, just a short drive away.
