Crab Orchard Lake

Timothy M. Commean

Rude and unprofessional staff, and impossible to understand how they operate. Embarrassed me with one of my clients, we were just driving around a took some pictures. We left people alone. I really don't know what the big deal was and why the mangers were so bent out of shape over nothing. It's not worth their rude and crabby attitudes. If you want business you need to be user friendly not a complete crab case.

It is convenient to the interstate, but wouldn't want to stay longer than just a one night layover. Lots of mud following several days of rain. Some sites have picnic tables but not all. Looked like a lot of workers were using the campground while they're in the area. Very convenient to Marion Illinois and the Veterans Hospital.

Beautiful area with great views, great bird sightings many different species. Seemed to be great fishing. Grounds clean except ditches along the path where i found several discarded black rubber gloves while walking my dog. Staff not friendly or engaging or informative when asking about camping. I was pointed to a bulletin style wall and told to take pictures of the map and which sites were First come first serve. A nearby tenting family was away from their site when the winds picked up started to blow the tent away. So I, knowing they require phone number at check-in, informed at the staff and asked them to call and let them know. They said they would. They showed up and had never gotteb the call. I stayed in site A11. Not level gravel parking for RV, was given minor unnecessary trouble from staff about the way I parked. Lake access from site is rocky. Would camp again if not for the very unprofessional and mostly unpleasant staff interactions.

We loved our stay at this campground. We had a beautiful view of the lake. It was a very quiet campground. The restrooms were very clean. We wish we could have stayed longer. To see our adventures subscribe to SIMPLE LIFE BIG ADVENTURES on YouTube.

We just got here to the campground....All we can say is we are quite impressed! The office people are soooo friendly and go up and above to be accomadating, Prices are so cheap per night ( $25 for full hookups and $20 for water and electric sites) . Our site is so spacious which is great and the VIEWS from our RV are panoramic and Amazing of the beautiful lake!! It is so quiet here, which is so refreshing! You can hear traffic noise very lightly in the distance. Towns are close by in case you need to grab anything. Facilities are nice too. Only downfall that we see so far is they don't have Laundry here, so we will have to go yo town to do that. All in all we think it's going you be a great stay!!!

Clean and quiet camp ground. Has hot showers . camp sites are nice as well . plenty of space between each camp site. The staff / hostess is friendly and helpful. I will definitely be returning in 2022 !

I love living in this area, I'm less than 10 minutes from all of my favorite fishing areas on 3 different lakes. Crab orchard, devils kitchen and grassy lakes. Never a bad experience. Always clean, easy parking and anyone you run into is friendly.

Nice campsite. Lake level is way low.

Kids had a blast camping. They got to see raccoons and deer.

Everything was good, til we heard host being rude to some girls in older camper. We talked to them and the lady who is buying camper was homeless.
