Illini Campground

We really enjoyed are stay at the Illini Campground at the Eldon Hazlet State Park. The campgrounds were very clean and well kept. Our site # 7 was on the A loop right adjacent to Lake Carlyle and offered beautiful views of the lake. The sunrise was spectacular. There is a nice camp store with swimming pool at the entrance to the campgrounds, a dump station with water fill and restrooms located through out the park. We had a nice, level gravel pad with a very spacious site, good clean power and a picnic table and fire ring. We had a great stay. Update: We stayed again this time in site #8 right on the Lake. We were there early enough to ride our bikes around the park and enjoyed some of the trails. The sunrise was beautiful over Carlyle Lake.

A great place for a weekend getaway! Bring the family, dogs, good and Caryle Lake will provide an endless weekend of nonstop action and family fun!! Fish’n is great! Catfish were biting!

A beautiful campground on a lake! There are hiking/biking trails, swimming, tent/RV camping & cottages you can rent out. The shower houses & bathrooms were all under construction when we went (4th of July week '23- think they could've planned better) so we used the showers and bathrooms at the pool ($5 ea & open to public as well) which wasn't always convenient as they are only open from 11-4:45 daily. Mishaps are what makes your vacations memorable though, so cheers!

Beautiful campgrounds with large spots. Playground, pool, nice showers. We saw lots of wildlife. Views of the lake are amazing.

Always a gorgeous stay at this park. Great facilities, great sites, great amenities.
