Nestled in the heart of southwestern Illinois, Hartshorn offers a diverse range of camping options for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore its scenic landscapes. The area is home to several popular RV parks, such as the nearby Cahokia RV Parque, which provides essential amenities like electric hookups, water, and picnic areas, making it ideal for families and travelers seeking convenience. For traditionalists, tent camping can be found at picturesque sites like the Shawnee National Forest, where visitors can immerse themselves in nature amid towering oaks and lush underbrush, ideal for both relaxation and adventure.
