Great place to camp, and even better place to spend your special holiday weekend events. The entire month of October is filled with Halloween decotarated sites. Designated days for treating and just a great time with many families and friends.

Just 1hr. East of St. Louis is Carlyle Lake is the largest man-made lake in Illinois, located about 50 miles east of St. Louis, and was created by the damming of the Kaskaskia River. The lake, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it offers various recreational activities including swimming at its beaches, camping at state parks like Eldon Hazlet State Park, boating, mini fish, species, including crappie and bluegill, and the hiking trails are great!!Wildlife conservation is also a key focus, with habitats established for species like the endangered Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake. The deer here are lousy, so always be aware especially during dawn and sunset. The campsites are very well kept so please do the same. The spots are evenly spaced with plenty of room for large or small mobile trailers. There are reserve spots as well as first come first serve spots. Those areas are very well marked, so please pay attention when reserving your piece of paradise. There is a small store that will have all your camping needs. The hours very, so please pay attention to that. Next to the little store is a swimming pool, that fee is separate from camping fees. Firewood is $20 for a good size bucket (they provide)

We love it here! There is a mix of reservable and first come sites available. Amazing lake views. There is a store with essentials. They also have a pool (small fee) that is well maintained, large and there are plenty of lounge chairs. It’s zero entry, which I love. There are plenty of park hosts and we’ve never had an issue with other guests. The bathroom/showers are well maintained and clean.

Just want to mention first that there is no water hook up here. Besides that down fall this is a good camp ground for families. There are multiple parks, a pool, a small store, and trails for walking or hiking. Showers and restrooms are nice and clean, the water in the showers is nice and hot. Volleyball and basketball courts add to the list of family activities. Please drive slow and be alert, children and their toys or bikes are bond to be anywhere! For $20 a night you really can't ask for more and the lake is beautiful with multiple beaches and boat ramps.
