“Nice Campground but on a hillside”

Reviewed 9/17/2023

Nightly rate:	$36
Days stayed:	5
Site Number:	4
RV Length:	39' (Toy Hauler Fifth Wheel)

Overall Rating

Stayed in south loop (site 4) and these sites were on a hillside thus sites are not true to length due to sloping drive. Also the water is a shared spigot with no Y connector. The water spigot was at our 50ft hose limit. Nicely spaced sites and quiet campground. The hosts were non existent when we had an issue during ‘office’ hours. ... more

Reviewed 10/6/2022

Days stayed:	1
Site Number:	24

Overall Rating

This campground is very nice. Clean well maintained felt safe. North loop sites were up on a hill and are farther spaced apart with more trees than the south loop. You can not walk from your site to the water as there is quite a drop off down to the water from the north loop. Short walk to beach area. Rocky shoreline. People fishi... more

Corp of engineers take such good care of their campground. It was a great place to rest for a couple days. I walked to the lake and splashed in the warm water. Sites were not close to one another. The host was great. I would surely stay again

RV Length:	26' (Travel Trailer)

Overall Rating

We stayed here on an overnight on our way to Louisville, KY. The sites are spacious and it's real pretty here in the forest. A handful of sites might see a small area of Carlyle Lake in Carlyle, IL, but most can't. You can walk down to a sandy beach area which is nice. They rope off a swimming area for you. It appears you can't bring y... more
