This is the mobile home park of the decommissioned Chanute Air Force Base repurposed as a campground and operated by the City of Rantoul, so where a mobile home was, it is now a campsite. Streets, sidewalks, curbs and street parking areas still exists. Because of that, all sites are pull-thrus from the perimeter road. 

CONS 

No senior discount

$3.50 reservation fee for self made online reservation 

Rain saturated ground prohibited site pull in. Had to back up over a steep street curb into a non angled site. 

Unable to get into originally selected campsite due to insufficient room to back into site, so moved to Site #13. 

Street lights throughout campground WiFi available but wasn’t given log on password upon check in and office had closed for the day once we realized we didn’t get the log on password
