"The sun sets behind the camper. Very nice clean restrooms, laundry room and a area you can grill in using their grills."
"Biggest complaints are that it had a sewery smell and you could hear the highway. They have a bar and store. Firewood bundles were 10$!"
$18 - $48 / night
"We've been camping at Coon Creek, on a beautiful Lake Shelbyville, for a few years now, the place is perfect for family vacations. And that's exactly what we do."
"There are many sites on this campground that are wooded and have views of Lake Shelbyville. Boat ramp to put in your boat or kayaks and sand beach for the kids to go swimming."
$20 / night
"Close to Eastern Illinois University and lake Charleston which has trails."
"The park and trails are usually busy since the park is near the Eastern Illinois University. The no-drinking campground prevents many noisy student campouts."
"The park is huge and is one of the only state park's in Illinois with horse camping and horse trails."
"We are tent people and love primitive camping in spots where we can really be away from everyone and at least pretend like we’re alone."
$18 - $36 / night
"At the end of the circles there are some sites right on the lake and the boat ramp is nearby.
Nice latrines and showerhouses."
"Lithia Springs is a great campground with a wonderful marina located on beautiful Lake Shelbyville! We stayed at Site #12 overlooking the lake."
"Right next to the lake. Plenty of room for everyone, from tents to the massive RVs. The pool very clean and never gets over crowded. Staff are knowledgeable and polite. Friendly/quiet dogs allowed."
"It’s close to home for us but also, very clean with nice staff and a fun environment. The pool is a huge plus, it’s so incredibly nice."
"Review of Drive In Tent Camping Site 2. Showed up on a Thursday night and had our pick of all the drive in and walk in sites. We decided on site 2 in the drive in area."
"I have camped here in the past and enjoy primitive tent camping so I stayed Friday September 29th and Saturday September 30th in the tent camping drive up site #2."
$18 - $48 / night
"Located on Lake Shelbyville, Bo Wood is an Army Co of Engineers park. Plenty of full hook ups and tent camping spots. Most by the lake."
"It’s crowded near the road but spreads out well at the back of the site. Lots of people here today"
ScoutThis park is beautiful, clean and the people were friendly. My issue is with the site supervisor and superintendent. On July 4th 2025 we were given the option of moving our entire campsite or being kicked out of the park. JULY 4TH! We booked our campsite in the last week of April, paid in full. We were the second party to book any spot in the entire campground! We chose our spot specifically for the access to the water and seclusion from the rest of the sites. Come to find out(a day after we set up camp) we booked in "horse camp" which apparently requires you to have horses. It never stated this on the website or rental confirmation we received. Nobody reached out to us in the three months we held the booking to confirm if we had horses. There was no on-site check in that could have saved us the trouble. No, instead we had to take 4 hours out of our holiday to pack all of our stuff and move into overflow camping or be forced to leave. Because of their mistake. Absolutely ruined our holiday with zero remorse or understanding. The icing on the cake was as we were leaving horse camp we noticed multiple other camp sites where people had not brought horses. They stated this happens all the time. If site management had two braincells to rub together they would fix their website instead of consistently ruining peoples trips and holidays. And then these people had the audacity to say they weren't going to charge us for the campsite they moved us to?!?! In reality, we should be receiving a full refund for the campsite we did pay for and free passes for the rest of the year. There is a second state campground on the other side of the lake I would suggest before coming to this place.
TravelerVery clean only 4 hookups. You can pay at the swimming pool. $25/per night
TravelerWe stayed for five days during Labor Day weekend on our way to Emporia Kansas for Unbound gravel bike ride. This turned out to be a lovely little vacation for us. We were tired from the drive though we didn’t realize it until we stopped. There is a little pond where people fished, and a little walking path for little kid “hikes”. One day when we were bored we went to Casey the little town of big things and got a kick out of seeing the world’s largest rocking chair, wind chime etc. And we got a kick out of the fire breathing dragon in Vandalia. The camp owners were friendly and helpful. The bathroom was the cleanest I have seen at a campsite. The sites are close as it is a small campground. But it was easy as people were respectful of each others spaces and it was quiet.
ScoutThis is one of the most beautiful campgrounds I’ve been in in a long time. It’s small, owned by an older farmer, has electricity and bathrooms. It’s on a couple of small lakes and the bird sounds, the frogs, ducks, the whole natural environment is just wonderful. I would’ve stayed there for weeks if I could and will definitely be back.
ScoutThe pool, the lake, the gigantic playground, the pavilion, the laundromat, the location, the cleanliness in the bathhouse, the gardens… the hosts Barb and Gary work their asses off to upkeep this place. You just cant beat it. You gotta stop in and experience it yourself, highly recommend!
GuideWe arrived later in the afternoon and it was a little tricky to get to a spot. They have had a lot of rains lately. We did find one that was a little bit more open for Starlink. But if you want treed sites there are beautiful spots for that. The people here are very friendly and it has 50, 30, and 110 outlets and water at the site with a dump station by the bathrooms and shower house. The bathrooms and shower house are pretty simple but available there is a train that runs about a block and a half away, but I love that so it was a very enjoyable stay.
LegendDefinitely a fishing oriented campground ! The sites have both cement pads and gravel depending on the site. Some of the sites are huge, most are nice size and more or less well maintained. Luck of the draw on being level and having shade. At the end of the circles there are some sites right on the lake and the boat ramp is nearby.
Nice latrines and showerhouses.
The Engineers were even nice enough to build in a gravel path to the lake on one circle.
Walmart is within 16 minutes. There’s a small store right outside the front gate.
TravelerBooked a overnight stay while traveling through the area. Nice set up, but lots are tight with winding roads to sites. Many sites overlook small lake. Must be nice in summer and fall when leaves are on trees. Full hook up on lots but no cable. Park has nice store and commons area with games. A pizza place is operating on site. Had pizza and wings that were good. Enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly
ScoutLast year we went to Cruise America in a camper van, but it turned out that without proper equipment it wasn't a vacation, but survival. There wasn't a comfortable barbecue, a table, or proper lighting. This time I was prepared- I found a website with camping goods and ordered everything in advance. The difference is huge! Now we have coziness, comfort, and no fuss. If you like camping, I advise you to stock up in advance- it makes the trip much more enjoyable!
