History

There is a rich history at the Peyton's Place Resort. This campground has been passed down from generation to generation since 1968. Peyton's fourth generation is being groomed to take over campground and floating business and continue operations well beyond the 53 years of passing it down. Peyton's Place Resort first started by opening a restaurant and rental cabins. They are located right by the Illinois river, which was a big hit from the beginning, and they started renting out boats to fishers. This led to one of the unique things about Peyton's Place Resort; from there, they opened the first canoe livery in 1970 on the Illinois River. Peyton's Place Resort has continued to expand and now offers rafts, kayaks, and more to guests who come to float the Illinois River.
