      What a beautiful campground, it’s our second time here. Some spots do have a fairly good slope to them

      1 side is directly on the freeway VERY loud, the other is in between the sewer treatment plant and municipal airport. If you're a light sleeper might want to stay away Full video review on YouTube https://youtu.be/QpuNpA7UVZI

      Great Campground

      Only $26 a night for full-hookups is amazing. Cell service for AT&T is marginal at 2 bars LTE. Only issue that I have is that site 49 is very hard to get level in, make sure that you bring extra leveling blocks if possible

      Great campground

      Sites are nice, although all sites face each other meaning you will be 5-10 feet from your neighbors if you are sitting out front. Full-hookups with only a 50amp connection so if you are using 30 make sure you have a 50/30 adapter. Overall very nice campground, well maintained.

      Great trails and well kept campsites

      We stayed at Giant City in February on a very cold weekend. It was still a fantastic trip! The campsites, fire pits and pit toilets were well maintained. The shorter trails in the park were beautiful even in the winter. The Lodge also had excellent food and a very cozy feel. Definitely visit the Lodge!!

      Good Luck

      The stay was pleasant and the lake was very nice but the reservation system and finding a spot was overly complicated for a first timer. Basically people show up and throw a cooler or tent onto a site to claim it and then leave. They have to pay for the spot by 8pm. And people can stay as long as they want as long as they pay for the next day by then. But if they don’t pay they have to leave by 9am the next morning. So you never know when people are actually leaving or a spot was opening up. Every spot was taken when we go in and we heard from the check in lady that someone was leaving so we went and waited watching them pack up to get their spot. We were there for one night and had 5-6 people come to us asking what time we were leaving the next morning. It was crazy. This was also the week before memorial day weekend so that’s probably why. Primitive camping was closed. We were in a truck with a roofnest.

      Quiet, well organized

      This was a one night stay. Gravel sites arranged like a parking lot but large enough for big rigs. Trees and flowers all about. 50 amps only.

      Early April Nice Weather

      We spent 5 nights on Site A5 at Crab Orchard Campground. All sites are FC/FS. Full hookups are in Loop B & it was full. Overall the campground was full but not very many people around. Appears many locals take spots on the weekends & then hold onto them during the week. The 2 nearest to us we saw on Sunday (Easter) and the only 1 more time during the 5 days. Someone in one of the sites by the late (A9, A11 or A13 I think) said they saw snakes but we never saw any and our dogs would have noticed.

      Showers and restrooms are nice. Ones in Loop A are no new (Loop Bs are new) but still nice. Lots of hot water.

      Lots of trails (within 10-30 minute drive). Fishing was good (especially catfish and crappie). Went into Carbondale a few times. Also went South to Alto Pass but wineries all closed on Tuesday; locals told us they are open more hours during summer.

      Lots of space by a Lake

      RV or tent, book online at Recreation.Gov not all spots are level. Electric on most but not all have water. Campfire area and picnic table provided. Bathhouse is clean and park areas are all clean, dump station on site. We will be back and book closer to the lake in a level site.

      Just passing through

      We’re just passing through so only staying one night but the place is cute and we’ll maintained as far as I can tell. We did come in around 8:30pm and it was a little difficult to see site markers but the hosts left us an envelope with a map along with their notes and drawings to get to the site so it was fine.

      Avoid this shabby campground

      This was our unfortunate experience at this park!

      While setting up on our lot I noticed that the park layout was such that your door opens up facing your neighbors door and you actually share about a 4 foot wide strip of grass between trailers,,absolutely no privacy if you wanted to sit outside! We could not even open our awning as it would have hit the awning next to us! Tiffany(the manager/owner)? happened to come by at that time and asked if everything was ok. I asked if there were any sites where the doors didn’t face each other. She got totally belligerent and asked if there was a problem with our neighbors. I said of course not, I just didn’t want to be eyeball to eyeball with them. She said“what do you expect for$45?”!!! And also said this was not uncommon@ proceeded to try and lecture me on how commonplace this was! We have been rving for over 25 years through at least 30 states and this is the first time I have ever encountered this situation! And the fact that I didn’t go to Tiffany with a complaint, she actually stopped and made the inquiry and then got very nasty when I raised the question. Apparently Tiffany is very personable as long as you don’t ask a question of her! A simple“all of our sites face each other” would have sufficed, but she chose to make it into a confrontational issue! This is a marginal park at best, I can’t imagine how it has a Good Sams designation, if for no other reason than the bizarre layout of the sites! I would never stay here again(or at any park where you actually share your neighbor’s only area for a minimum degree of privacy!) Our neighbors were lovely people but I’m sure they were not comfortable with being right on top of their neighbors either! In addition, these sites are VERY close together! Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!

      Cheap campground that is clean and quiet. The back in site we had overlooked the lake. For the price, you can’t beat the view. If I return to the area, I would stay here again
