Barely two spots

We attempted to camp at Teal Pond with our 30 ft camper but had trouble finding it in the dark. We came back in daylight to find it. It's easily missed. There are only two spots available. The fire rings look frequently used.

A small to medium size camper would probably fit but this site is probably best left for tents and camper vans.

Ozarks, woo hoo

This is about as south as you can get in IL. Beautiful place. Lots of wildlife!
