Lake Murphysboro Camping

Such a diamond in the rough as this place is good place to camp or just spend the day with the kids playing on the playground it seems like it's cool cooler here then any other places when it's hot outside the only fall back as you can't swim on the lake but you can take paddle boats kayaks canoes are small boats on it to fish it does include a shower house as well if you do Camp here that's always nice

The campground was clean and the bathroom was close, ranger was nice and helpful, even found a couple mud holes to enjoy some scale rc 4×4 action.

When we arrived, our reserved and paid for site was taken by someone else. The camp post gave us a new site, which was nice. But makes you think why there’s a reservation to begin with? Showers closed early and were far away from the camp site. Outhouses were disgusting and water pump didn’t even work. No sink or sanitizer in the outhouse. Pretty lake, but not meant for tent camping. More of an RV park. Would not visit again.

Lovely place on the lake, beautiful views. Plenty of space for tentt in the lots. Plenty of parking. If I could have changed something it would be that the showers were closer to the campground.

Beautiful place but the amount of trash at the campsites is insulting. The Governor of Illinois’ mother is no doubt ashamed of her son and his lack accomplishments.
