Oak Point Campground at Lake Glendale, Shawnee National Forest, Il was a very well maintained area with convenience in mind. 

First the sites are well laid out within the wooded area affording plenty of room, privacy and shade. Next depending on which site you pick it can be a short walk to the lake and direct put in of your water craft. A very cool feature is that several of the sites are double. Which if you are camping with family or friends is nice but I guess it could be bad if you don’t know the people in the attached site......

There is a boat ramp area with parking , electric motors only. Makes for a quiet lake experience, sans the screaming children across from the ramp at the beach area, lol. The lake is large enough though you really don’t notice them when you head to the far end.

We took the lake trail which follows the edge of the lake all the way around. It connects Oak with Duck and the boat ramp and the beach and the picnic area. This is one of those campgrounds if you have all your supplies you can park the car for your entire visit and never miss it! All the activities are within walking or biking distance and you can carry your watercraft from your site straight into the water.
