A beautiful campground! Great fire just a quiet getaway. Only gave it 4 instead of 5 simply because there isn't any Ranger talks or programs. If you are looking for a simple camping getaway with a few short trails this place is lovely.

We were here in Lowden State Park for tent camping. It is just 1 hr 30 min drive to west Chicago .This place is more suitable for RVs and is not so good for tent camping. Campsites are very close to each other so it's not the place if you want privacy. There is road next to this park so you will hear traffic sound in night. It's a pretty small park. There was a shop where you can get firewood and essential items. However it took long time to find camp host but they were really helpful. We requested to change our campsite and he helped us immediately. Black hawk Statue is definitely a worth visit which is just 10 min walk away but it was covered for restoration work.

Great park, with the Blackhawk statue. It is covered but still over looks the valley. Has nice walking trails, and a campground Local town also has much carector.

As a State Park, it's very good. It's well maintained and beautiful. It only has 30 amp electric. Reservations recommended but has a circle of spots on first come basis.
