<p>If you are looking to go on a family vacation that is low budget and entertaining, try visiting a campground in southern Illinois. Gas prices are rising and it is getting very expensive to travel overseas to those exotic vacation destinations. It is a lot cheaper to buy and recreational vehicle and travel around the United States and check out all the vacation spots in your own back yard. Having an recreational vehicle is very economical and your most expensive cost would be your fuel cost. This cost is a lot cheaper than flying to Hawaii or Cancun. When you travel to these places your round trip flight is expensive and so is the lodging. Eating in restaurants in these destinations can be expensive also. Campgrounds in southern Illinois are very nice parks to visit. There is one park I like most and that is the Benton Best Holiday Trav L Park in Whittington Illinois. This park is amazing. During the hot summer months the campground sites stay cool because the whole campground is shaded with beautiful trees. The pool is nice and cool which is good for the kids. They also have a wade pool for smaller kids. Their playground is very large and our kids loved it. This park is less than one mile from Rend Lake. Rend lake has a beautiful marina where you can rent a boat and go fishing for the day. Rend lake also has a area for hunting during the hunting season. Rend lake is a 19,000 acre state park that is full of things to do. Rend lake also has a championship golf course. The Benton Best Holiday Trav L Park is a perfect vacation destination because it is so close to so many things. There are many restaurants and a super Walmart center that is just five minutes away. This is the highest rated park in Illinois. This campground is best campground I have ever visited in the <a href="http://www.clickillinois.com/" target="_blank"><strong>state of Illinois</strong></a>. I have visited many campgrounds in Illinois and this park was the best. This campground is open year round. This campground has big rig sites, 50 amp service, cable television with up to seventy channels, and wife internet. The Benton Best Holiday Trav L Park offer these services for free. </p>

<p>Illinois is a myriad of sites and sounds, history and multiculturalism, all blended harmoniously into what is considered a perfect microcosm of the United States. The exploding diversity of the north and Chicagoland balances perfectly with the wilderness and historic sites of the south.</p>
<p>Central Illinois is a notable mix of fantastic stops that will certainly round out your travel to Illinois. It also happens to be where President Abraham Lincoln&#8217;s former home and the state&#8217;s capital is located. In Springfield, take a stop at Looking for Lincoln, a collection of houses, buildings and countryside where the 16th president actually spent time. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is also located in the heart of Springfield. You can also get your kicks in <a href="http://www.clickillinois.com/"><strong>Central Illinois</strong></a> where the Historic Route 66 passes through the state. Along the way, stop at the Amish Interpretive Center for a glimpse into the life and history of the Old Order Amish community. The fun is certainly not over yet; convince the kids that Santa does exist by visiting Hardy&#8217;s Reindeer Ranch where real Alaskan reindeer roam the grounds!</p>
