In the area where the flatlands of Illinois transform into the Shawnee Hills, Eldorado welcomes outdoor enthusiasts to come, rent an RV, and set off on an unforgettable adventure. The giant Shawnee National Forest is minutes away from the city, waiting for nature lovers to discover its sandstone formations hiding in the lush vegetation teeming with wildlife. When you book an RV in Eldorado, you will find yourself in the heart of Southern Illinois, also known as “Little Egypt.” The nickname comes from the powerful rivers forming its borders – the Ohio and the Mississippi, adding to the scenery with their meandering flow.

With U.S. Route 45 and Illinois Route 142 intersecting in the city, it is easy to reach other urban centers in the area. Sitting on the Ohio River in Indiana, Evansville is only an hour's drive away. Just across the border with Missouri, St. Louis and its iconic Gateway Arch are waiting for you on the banks of the Mississippi. If you want to visit Springfield, the state capital, be prepared to find interesting historical attractions dedicated to President Abraham Lincoln, as well as the impressive Illinois State Capitol.

Find your way to Jackson Falls and admire its cascade dropping from a scenic cliff or try rock climbing in its vicinity.

From scenic driving to boating and fishing, there is no end to exciting activities waiting for you in this vast area of wilderness.

Shawnee Hills are full of magical places, and one of them is Ferne Clyffe State Park, about an hour's drive away from the city.

Hiking and horseback riding trails can be found in the park, and Waterfall Trail is one of the most impressive ones. Visitors coming in their Eldorado RV rental by owner will find several campgrounds, while anglers and swimmers can spend a day on Ferne Clyffe Lake.

One of the jewels of Shawnee National Forest, Giant City State Park is another must-visit destination you can quickly get to in your Eldorado RV rental.

With activities such as fishing, rappelling, and hiking, you will always have something exciting to do.

For camping next to a peaceful lake, take your RV trailer rental from Eldorado to Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park.
