Isolated Campground on the Kaskaskia river

This campground is located behind the Spillway Motel across the highway from the Lake Shelbyville Dam. There are a few cabins and trailers that are full time residents, a boat ramp, rental canoe's and tubes, a bait shop, 16 full hookup and about 20 overnight primitive campsites at $10 a night. The campground is the only one with full access to the river after it leaves Lake Shelbyville. The fishing here and at the Spillway across the road are very good. I camped here in October and it was pretty empty, so even though you are close to town it is peaceful. This is not a well known place to go but you can have fun here with the canoe's and river fishing.
