Hike Middle Fork River Forest Preserve in spring or summer
Middle Fork River Forest Preserve is probably best known for being Illinois’ first International Dark Sky Park. There is a campground, and it’s also home to a camping area, several hiking trails, and an impressive waterfowl management area with a trail through the nearby forest. While I can’t personally attest to the camping experience there, I can definitely recommend the hiking trails.
