Quick Overview
Heyworth is a quiet village in McLean County in central Illinois, positioned along old Route 66 about 10 miles south of the Bloomington-Normal twin cities. With several motorhome campgrounds and parks in the area, including some free options, Heyworth offers a rural camping alternative to the busier and more expensive parks around Bloomington's commercial district. The village sits in the flat agricultural heartland of the state, surrounded by corn and soybean fields that stretch to the horizon in every direction during the growing season. Route 66 history runs through this area -- the old alignment passes through town on its way between Bloomington and Lincoln, and the nostalgia factor alone brings some RVers through on their Mother Road trips across America. Moraine View State Recreation Area is about 10 miles east of Heyworth and provides excellent lake fishing, hiking trails, and well-maintained campsite facilities along the scenic shores of Dawson Lake. The pace of life here is slow and unhurried, which is exactly what many RVers appreciate after long days grinding miles on the interstate highways. The campgrounds are basic and affordable, fitting the character of this peaceful prairie community perfectly. Central Illinois offers some of the cheapest camping rates in the state, and Heyworth's location along the US-51 corridor makes it easy to reach from multiple directions without complicated navigation.
