Absolutely beautiful place to get out and enjoy nature! They have nice paths that go for 10+ miles that you can walk or bike! They cut some of the overgrowth recently so now there are some really beautiful sight lines of the river!

Not quite a 4, let's say B-. Quite the find considering how close it is to the Chicago area. If you're looking for a quick getaway in a beautiful setting with several activities in the park and nearby, this is a great choice. If pressed for time, I say skip the first and last couple miles of the bike path, but make sure to walk down to the creek from the suspension bridge. My big caveat about this campground is the lack of bathroom facilities. One shower house with flush toilets to serve 3 loops with 110 sites? Totally inadequate. No amenities or firewood inside the park. Shower house wasn't in great shape, floors and showers weren't cleaned and not all showers worked. However sites were great, large, pretty and well maintained, for that I'd return.

Great place for hiking, biking, swimming, fishing and camping, I loved hiking through trails where it ended at the river. Beautiful scenery and fresh air. If you are in the area this is a must visit. I highly recommend it.

Cleanest river in Illinois. We enjoyed kayaking and tubing this river this summer. We dropped off at Potowattami Campground and picked up at the boat launch west of Warriner Bridge Road. It was less than a 2 hour float

This is our first time ever camping at the Kankakee state park. I highly recommend it if you like rustic camping. The campsites were very spacious and clean. The hosts were great. There was nice trails to draw on to go back to the river. Very nice and roomy and wooded, we loved it. We had a great time.
