Good place to go but doesn't have full hookups on the whole site. Definitely recommend but not everything is available here.

A beautiful lake side experience in the middle of all the corn fields. The camping site is also nearby which makes this place even more enticing. I wish they had a food cart/truck and a public restroom in this lake area.

It’s pretty some people left trash by the lake don’t litter guys. The trails are decent kinda short and not even slightly challenging. There’s a concrete one for people with disabilities though. But your kinda stuck on the trail the undergrowth is insane

Nice place to fish and watch the sunrise and sunset. Fish we've caught: blue gill, crappie, catfish, stripper. Oh snakes are also present😱.... You may also see a number of deers👍🏽

This is a great park. The sites are huge and are gravel and level. Most sites around the lake have walking paths to the lakes edge, however they’re not always an easy walk. The marina is nice and there is a beach there for a small fee. I think the beach should be free for paying campers but it’s only a few dollars extra. The shower houses are fair. They are very dated, but pretty clean. The roads are paved but narrow and there is a bike path thru the main part of the park. The lake is very large and there is no horsepower limit. This makes using any non motorized boats fairly treacherous. We were there to kayak, but we could only go on the north fork of the lake which is a bit of a drive from the campground. The north fork is choked with lily pads so kayaking the entire thing is impossible. It wasn’t even feasible to walk the kayaks around the lily pads as it was just too far. However, the first part of the fork is beautiful and calm. The campground had 3 actual camp hosts which is a great asset. We liked it here and probably will camp here again.

This is your go-to camping/fishing/swimming/hiking/boating location for central Illinois. Have been here several times and it's always a good time. The park has a pre-reservation website to help with scheduling or you can try walk-in if you are short on time. The camp sites have power at each stall, fire pits, water pumps nearby, and outhouses in every loop. There are plenty of hiking trails both well-kept and bush-whacking depending on your needs. The lake is also deep enough for the big sized boats/yachts if that is a need.

Clinton lake camping made for an awesome weekend. Pack your bike, dogs, fishing poles and walking shoes. There are mlies of walking trails throughout the park , grass, dirt, gravel and paved. The trails we great for hiking , walking the dogs and cruising on the bikes.
