Eldon Hazlet State Park

We camped at Eldon Hazlet State Park on our way to Colorado and Utah. The park is conveniently located just off of Route 70 about an hour East of St. Louis. Our campsite was on the beautiful Carlyle Lake. The campgrounds were quiet and very clean and well kept. Our site was spacious with electric hook ups, a level gravel pad, picnic table and fire ring. We really enjoyed our stay after a long days travel.

Love this camp sight. Decent showers and bathroom. Each sight has a grill/fire pit. Water access throughout. Electric at every sight or primitive camping area. Cabins available and sights w beautiful views to reserve. And almost every sight has some view of the lake. Beautiful lake. Lots of trails to hidden little beaches and coves. Quiet, peaceful. But lots of kids for my kids to play with. The hosts were very nice and informative when we first arrived. Two tents per sight. And they also have lots of activities every weekend. Oh and they also have camping all year. My husband and my kids and I loved it!

Such a beautiful, clean place to go on a hike. My family and I love to walk through the trails with our RC cars and spend time as a family. Would recommend this park!

This is a beautiful state park not far off of I-70. Great place to camp if traveling through. Right on Carlyle lake.

Love winter camping, view of the lake was great. Quiet very few campers when it's cold out
