We love camping at all the campgrounds on Carlyle Lake. It’s always a good time. There are plenty of areas to fish, hike, swim, picnic. Looking forward to another great year and fun filled camping and fishing.🎣

Small 13 site campground at the Spillway, 1/2 mile past McNair campground. Sites are near the water. Not very private as the day use area is here too. Lots of fisherman

Beautiful area to get out and have a picnic. The area is well maintained and it seems like a lot of people from the city take advantage of this place. Awesome!

I passed by here and spoke to many people in the area about how the camping was. From the reports I received it seems like this is a great spot for families to have a weekend adventure or even just a daytime trip. The lake it self, which is a popular destination in this part of IL, is buzzing with swimmers, boaters, beach volleyball players, and happy happy faces. Seems like a great place to check out if you need a place to rest in IL.
