Springfield Illinois camping and site seeing.
Late this month we'll be heading to Springfield to check out all the Abe Lincoln history. Do you have any suggestions for places to camp and things to do while we are there?

Wadcutter is right about the governors. :) Interesting state to live in. That said, I'd second any recommendation for either Lincoln's New Salem SP or the KOA. We've been to both - more amenities at the KOA, of course, and it has a country atmosphere, which we liked, but the history at the SP can't be beat. We camped at the KOA in 2012, and last camped at the SP in the 1980s, so can't speak to its current condition. We enjoyed it then, however.
Definitely make sure to see the Lincoln Museum downtown. All of the above is kid-friendly, if that applies.
