My son and I visited on the last week of June 2022.  The campground is very rustic with a LOT of shade which made our stay there perfect. The USDA Forest recreational area includes Pounds Hollow Lake that is nestled into a beautiful ridge.  While the lake can get busy, and was at times while we were there, the campground was very quiet.  In fact, we were the only ones in the campground while we stayed.  I can't promise this is the best campground for the large RV crowd, due to the undulating nature of the sites, but for tent lovers, this might be one of the best we have done outside of dispersed camping. Garden Of The Gods IL has some fantastic scenery, hikes and is a place that will reset your soul.
