I absolutely love this RV Park! It feels like home. The staff will go out of their way to please their guests and everyone is very friendly.

The staff will go out of their way to please their guests and everyone is very friendly. I needed a place to stay for several months while my dog was away (in training). Tin cup was my home. I quickly felt as if I were part of the family. It was very affordable and a great location close to the highway and local town. A 20 minute drive will take you into Champaign which has many of your traditional stores, the U of I, medical services and anything else you may need. Many parents setting up their student children will stay at Tin cup when school is in session or a big game is happening. There is propane on site. Services such as dump station and water are also available for a reasonable fee ( if not a guest of the park ). There are tent sites as well as full hookup RV sites. Restrooms with showers and laundry is available for guests. I will be back in the spring and I am looking forward to seeing all of my new Tin Cup friends when I get there.

The owner is fantastic and the office staff are constantly assisting whenever they can. The atmosphere is fantastic and the people are even better. Had a great Thanksgiving dinner with the Tin Cup Staff and fellow residents.

Tincup RV Park is a wonderful place to camp or stay long-term. The owner, Quentin, is very helpful and the office staff is also excellent. I would recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in or around the Champaign County area.

Stayed a couple nights passing through the state, mid October 2024. Nice, clean & mostly quiet park overall. Excellent customer service from every employee we encountered! Rick, the maintenance man went above & beyond 3 dif times, helping me with 3 dif situations. Thank you again Rick, we appreciate you! As others said, there are many long term tenants, some look rather sketchy so we didnt go far... Stayed a couple nights passing through the state, mid October 2024.

Thank you again Rick, we appreciate you! As others said, there are many long term tenants, some look rather sketchy so we didnt go far from our site. We stayed on the entry hillside, the drive thru sites are all set up for big rig style so the sewage hookup is towards the front of the site while the water & electric are at the rear, which doesnt workk well for smaller rv's. Also the sites are very small in width, we could hear the neighbors baby crying alot, from inside our RV, doors closed.. there is a really nice laundry house with 4 or 5 ea. Washers & dryers, table to sit at, box of games & puzzles to pass the time. The womens restroom/shower house was disgusting & very cold for the time of year, should have had heat on. I tried to attach pictures to show how dirty it was, but do not have an option to do so, will try again later. It did not appear to have been cleaned for months! Leaves on the floor all througout, dry hair clumps in the shower drains, grimy shower curtains, floors, walls, sinks & toilets were nasty! The stall style door that separates the shower area from the main bathroom, does not have a latch to keep it closed. So no actual privacy when getting dressed. There is a playgound behind the office but we did not check it out.
