Our Middle Fork River Forest Preserve has a beautiful campground open throughout the year. Harry L. Swartz was instrumental in focusing the District's efforts toward the preservation of natural resources around the Middle Fork River in Champaign County. The campground consists of 65 campsites, suitable for all types of camping including group camping. Each campsite is a quiet retreat shaded by large oak, hickory or hackberry trees.
Wildflowers grow in abundance.
All sites are close to the swimming beach and other facilities. Reservations are allowed for stays of at least three consecutive nights. Group camping sites are available by reservation only and are limited to chartered organizations. All persons making use of campground facilities must be engaged in camping activities. Camping is restricted to designated campsites only.
