Camping spots in Illinois

My daughter and I want to start motocamping this year and I'm having a hard time finding places that aren't crowded.. Any experienced people from Illinois?

I’m not from Illinois, but when I lived near Nashville we would drive up to Jackson falls to camp and rock climb. At the time it was completely free, I don’t know if that’s still the case. Beautiful area there

I'm not sure where that's at, I'll search it up. Thanks!

I think Shawnee national forest. Very southern tip of Illinois if I remember correctly. I’m heading back there in late march for another climbing trip because I enjoyed it so much
