About this campground
Step back in time with a twist of modern charm at this unique RV camping spot nestled amidst the serene expanses of a southern Illinois cornfield. Once known as one of the most secluded drive-in theatres in the state, our venue first lit up the night sky with its cinematic glow in 1953. Boasting a colossal 72" x 36" screen, this iconic location offered a movie-going experience for up to 250 cars, creating unforgettable memories under the stars. After facing the ravages of time and nature, including temporary closure due to storm damage, this historic site has been lovingly revitalized.
