Papa Murphs Tavern is a beer-n-shots kind of place with primitive campground facilities. We serve piping hot pizza, ice cold drinks and chips. We're the neighborhood bar where everyone is welcome - you don't have to be a local to stop in and say hi. We're conveniently located near Starved Rock State Park and Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Resort and Waterpark.

Simple pleasures like Saturday night summer hayrides or joining in a game of candy bar bingo abound at this country retreat. Have the kids dip a line into the children's fishing creek or tool around on rented pedal karts. Sun worshippers choose among plenty of sunny campsites, while shade-lovers settle under leafy oaks. Just 5 miles south, the deep canyons and towering moss-covered bluffs at Starved Rock State Park will make you feel as though you've left the Prairie State altogether. Hike up to 13 miles of marked trails along canyons with splashing waterfalls. At nearby Matthiessen State Park, hike up to 5 miles of vigorous trails with unusual and beautiful rock formations. Enjoy restaurants, shopping and golf in the area too.
