Enjoy the scenery and wildlife as you float Share and enjoy the time with family and friends. I have written 2 reviews for Apple River Canyon already, one about 2 years ago and another close to 6 years ago. At this point we have been to the park about 35 times in the past 10 years, most trips were around nights avoiding weekends. Stays have been as short as 1 night and up to 13 or When we first started going there, it was exactly what we wanted; nearly no amenities, quiet, rustic camping in private wooded sites. Then a few years later it was featured in a segment about the Galena area aired on the Chicago News which ruined the park for the rest of the year with many rowdy, rude and loud groups , but did bring in needed revenue and promptly returned to a peaceful place the following year.

Fast forward another few years I believe the park went up on Reserve. The host stays in the one electric site the park already had but oddly they are on the first come-first serve loop and not the reserve loop. While I have camped mostly off season since the host arrived, I have camped a few times while the hosts where there. It is clear that the host can make or break the experience for me at least.

The host they had in was pleasant, kept the areas clean, was friendly but not intrusive and quiet. In however it was a whole other story read my last review to hear the whole story. This year, my husband and I have been there twice for a 1 night stay each early May and it was very enjoyable! It was like the old days when we first found the park.

We got there Saturday at about 4pm and the park had maybe 20 sites full, everyone was pretty spread out and quiet, and by the time we left at 2pm the next day the park was empty. We went back Wednesday to Thursday and had the park all to ourselves. Chats with them are pretty interesting and enjoyable and they make time to get to know the patrons if you seem interested.

All in all, if you are looking for quiet, basic camping I would suggest going off season. If you are someone who is used to camp grounds that are pretty much just an open field with a few trees here and there this will feel super private and probably quiet even during peak season. The park has no showers or running water other than a few wells and there are no playgrounds.

Really is the perfect place to just hang out in your site most of the day and relax. This park has several different trails that vary in length and "level of intensity". I recommend taking the trail by the bathrooms and the trail next to the little building near the river across from the bathrooms. These trails are offer nice views and plenty of bird sightings with the occasional wild turkey crossing your path. If you go during the winter you have an increased chance of spotting several Bald Eagles flying over the river and into a ravine.

Bring a camera, fishing tackle and some comfy shoes.

The Bathrooms do not have a light or toilet paper. So you will need to bring those with if you stop to the restrooms. It had rained the night before so the waterfalls were beautiful. I loved the trails. We were there early in the day and then came back at sunset to walk the sunset trail. I liked the trail but we couldn't see a sunset.
