About Blackhawk Valley Campground

Blackhawk Valley Resort is a hidden gem located in the outskirts of Rockford's beautiful countryside. The resort offers a variety of activities including a playground, mini golf, basketball, and more. Alternatively, you can simply relax and enjoy nature at its finest. The resort is known for its well-kept grounds, mature oak trees providing ample shade, spacious level sites, and clean bathrooms.For those seeking adventure, the resort is situated in a secluded valley of the Kishwaukee River, offering opportunities for tubing and canoeing. The river is ideal for tubing and paddling due to its shallow parts, making it unsuitable for motorized boats. Nearby, Rockford, known as the City of Gardens and Rivers, offers plenty of attractions. Additionally, Chicago is just a short distance away, providing access to a wide range of activities, events, and attractions.
