Favorite State Park Campgrounds
We live in Illinois and thinking of a week or 2 this Fall in Illinois or nearby state parks and/or USACE instead of the usual trip out West. Would like to hear your favorites. Our priorities are: leve...

"Wooded" and "Level"??? Depends upon what you consider "Level"?? Bring something to put under your tires to level out wherever you go. State Parks in Indiana are all great. Lots of variety. Pick your spot and enjoy! But getting any of them "Level", is near impossible, as every site will require some adjustments.
We have not been to a bad campsite anywhere in any of the Indiana State Parks. check the DNR web site carefully for reservations and descriptions of the sites. There's variety for everyone, full sun to full shade, level to hilly. Been to a couple in Illinois over the years and found them to be equally as nice.
Unless you are looking to park on a concrete slab in a 5 star RV resort in Hollywood California or somewhere like that, make sure you bring your leveling blocks anywhere you go.
FYI, some 15 years ago when the price of gasoline skyrocketed and the USA was reeling from a horrid housing market and an economy that just fell apart, we also had some personal things that happened that swallowed up disposable money. We decided, since people travel all over the world to visit Indiana State Parks, maybe we should start looking at them through the eyes of a stranger to this state. We decided to travel much closer to home, easier on fuel and expenses that way. We decided to camp at ONLY the Indiana State Parks and State Recreation areas and look at our state through new eyes. And we did! Over the next 15 years, we ended up staying at every state DNR park that had a campground, and we discovered how great Indiana really is!
It's great to discover, or re-discover the precious jewels hidden in your own back yard! You don't have to travel far to see and experience some spectacular places!
