Wheeland Park Campground sits on the east bank of the Sangamon River and offers 11 campsites with fire rings, picnic tables, and gravel drives, plus electric hookups available for an additional fee.

The facility includes a boat ramp, drinking water, seasonal bathrooms, and a sand volleyball court, making it an ideal base for paddling trips on the Sangamon.

Paddlers should be aware that fallen trees are prevalent throughout the river, particularly hazardous when water levels are high and current is strong—always wear a PFD.
