Seems their is a BMX Rally that takes place near the entrance which is probably a smart visit. A local Farmers Market going through Sept. 22 or 24th....(don't quote me😮💨) has a business with a featured croissant that is square....if I'm not mistaken. Would be nice to stop their also at some point. Overall I prefer the positives of the location verses other options to side with. Saw plenty of wildlife and a group in horseback. In sure there is a way to look into that also which is a for sure draw. Not many pictures.... (much like the museums)....so the judge can be the onlooker(s)."

So I have no clue what other posters are saying. (Probably the trailer park nearby) no one stalked us. 2. Camp host was friendly and did have one dog (didn't bark or act aggressive). 3. The roads are equivalent to most in springfield-il, so they are terrible. But they are travelable. 4. Sites are well taken care of but could use a makeover with updates. 5. We were one of very few here so it was peaceful and quite. 6. Lots of natural foliage keeps it secluded."

There is a club with food down at the end of the road. No It's not a koa w/pool ($80+ per night) but plenty of space, shade & picnic tables. $25 per night! Very spread out. All shapes & sizes campers & tents. (Not payed anywhere ) Also the bath house is handicap with a code to enter. I felt safer at night. Well lit up"

Fairly easy to get to, a little confusing, but we found it. No traffic noise. Bathhouse needed the spider webs wiped out but were clean, needed an update. It was an overnight stop for us. Didn't even unhook from the truck. Our choice of over 50 sites."
