The campground is near a famous biking trail along a converted rail line. |
Given the tiny size of Wilton the campground and it's facilities are pretty impressive. It boasts a swimming pool (closed for the season when I was there):
The pool, covered for the winter. |
A laundry with a washer / dryer combo:
The laundry thru the center door $2.50 wash $2.50 dry. |
Twin sanded volley ball courts:

The park's fee sign. |
My first night there was one other camper in the park, the second night I had the park completely to myself, I regretted having to continue on south towards Chicago.
The Mini's shaded site at Wilton Campground. |
The park has an off-site attendant who comes by about 6 PM your first night there to collect the camping fee and offer plastic trash bags if you need them. He cleaned the laundry, bathrooms and showers promptly at 8 AM both my days there.
Like I mentioned I would have stayed at least a few more days at Wilton Campground if my niece's wedding outside Chicago didn't beckon. Why turn down my own "private" $10 a nite campground?
Thanks for reading!
This seems to be a great place for living.
