Quick Overview
Greenfield is a small Greene County city in western Illinois, sitting along IL-267 about 50 miles northwest of St. Louis and 60 miles southwest of Springfield in the scenic Illinois River bluff country. With several motorhome campgrounds and parks in the area, including some free options, Greenfield offers an off-the-beaten-path camping experience in one of the most scenic and least-visited parts of the state. Greene County is Illinois River bluff country, with dramatic terrain changes from the flat upland farms to the wooded bluffs and bottomlands along the Illinois River to the east that surprise visitors who expect Illinois to be entirely flat. The area is renowned among outdoorsmen for its hunting -- deer, turkey, and waterfowl -- and the river bottoms attract anglers chasing catfish, bass, and panfish throughout the warm months. Greenfield itself is a classic small county-seat town with a courthouse square, a few local businesses, and a genuine rural atmosphere where everybody knows their neighbors. For RVers, the campgrounds near Greenfield are simple and very affordable, and the surrounding natural beauty is a pleasant surprise for travelers who think Illinois is nothing but flat farmland and interstate highways. The Apple Creek and Macoupin Creek watersheds provide wooded corridors through the agricultural landscape, adding scenic variety and wildlife habitat. Pere Marquette State Park is within day-trip distance to the south.
