Lincoln New Salem Campground

Lincoln's New Salem Campground offers 200 campsites (100 electric, 100 non-electric) with two shower facilities, accommodating RVs up to 40 feet, making it a convenient base for accessing the Sangamon River via the asphalt boat launch located at the Picnic Area off Pritchetville Road.

The campground provides water fill stations and a dump station, though sites lack direct water/sewer hookups. Three accessible campsites are available, and the surrounding 700-acre historic site includes wooded areas with hiking trails and picnic facilities.
