GuideNice weekend camping
Beautiful lake with good fishing. Spots are a little unleveled but not bad. Nice restaurant, a little pricey but good food.
TravelerBeautiful Fall Visit
Just got here but very pleased so far. Nice fresh gravel sites. Lots of trails it seems. Lake is nice sized but not too big. Wish the restaurant was open, but told it may be next Spring. A little issue with the electric @ 1st but maintenance was out right away & got everything up & running. Easy entrance off IL-50. All roads in newly paved. Campground Host (Russ) very attentive and helpful. Water pressure at the Dump site is a little low, but not bad. AT&T reception is GREAT — 4 bars LTE @ the campsite; great for streaming later. For now, off for a quick canoe ride to check out the lake
RangerNice state park with recent upgrades
We were there in November for just a night. At first I thought the sites were a bit rough and not very level. But while were there, they started to regrade the pads at the sites. The new gravel was leveled and packed flat. The sites are greatly improved.
Cell service was very good, Verizon, and very quiet. Most sites are 30 amp but the Lake view loop are 50 amp. There are a few sites that will handle large rigs but most are for medium sized rigs.
