Nauvoo, IL State Park

[retired_in_utah]

Looking to visit Nauvoo in June. What are the most accomodating sites for a 38 ft 5er. Thanks.

This might help you: Nauvoo SP CG details They certainly list many longer sites; the complication is the pine trees. However, it is a stand of (planted) pines; they are not haphazardly placed.

Not many sites that big. We camped there in our 34' TT (not quite as high as a 5er) and barely fit in our site (#12). That was one of the biggest ones there, and I noted in my camping log book that it was the best site for our rig. Sorry, I didn't note any other sites except one that was smaller.

That said, it's a beautiful park. Most sites are in a stand of pines, nice & shady (important in a hot humid summer). The "new" bathhouse (probably 5-6 years old) was a much-needed addition, and was pretty nice in 2012.

The IL SP website may note site length, which will be very helpful if they do. Good luck!
