About
Step back in time with a twist of modern charm at this unique RV camping spot nestled amidst the serene expanses of a southern Illinois cornfield. Once known as one of the most secluded drive-in theatres in the state, our venue first lit up the night sky with its cinematic glow in 1953. Boasting a colossal 72" x 36" screen, this iconic location offered a movie-going experience for up to 250 cars, creating unforgettable memories under the stars. After facing the ravages of time and nature, including temporary closure due to storm damage, this historic site has been lovingly revitalized. Under the stewardship of new management since 2015, it has undergone significant renovations, updating its charm while keeping the nostalgia alive. Today, visitors can revel in the magic of outdoor cinema, now enhanced with a cutting-edge digital cinema projector that brings the silver screen to life like never before. Adding to the allure is a newly constructed concession area, where quality dining meets exceptional service. Choose from a variety of delicious options, perfect for enjoying a movie in the great outdoors. RV campers looking for a unique stay will find this location offers the perfect blend of Americana and modern convenience. It's an ideal escape for those who cherish the open road, the tranquility of rural landscapes, and the joy of classic entertainment. Whether you're a cinephile, a nostalgia seeker, or simply in search of a distinctive RV camping experience, this venue promises a memorable stay under the radiant gleam of movie magic. Indulge in the nostalgia of the past while enjoying the comforts and enhancements of the present at this charming Southern Illinois destination.
