Shawnee Forest Campground

Wonderful location, owner super pleasant and recommended a better spot given recent rain. Love the walking trails around the RV park. Great location next to the highway and short drive to Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest. Will definitely go back to try the Tunnel Hill State Trail for biking.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in April. This place is ideal for a home base for exploring Shawnee National Forest. The sites are large and level. The grounds are very well maintained, showerhouse/restrooms were immaculate and the campground host/staff were very friendly and accommodating. We especially enjoyed the hiking trails at the campground. We will definitely return!

This was our first ever trip in the "camper world". We purchased a new camper and the following weekend we were on the road to Illinois to go hunting. The campground was phenomenal!! I mentioned to my husband that this place has definitely spoiled us for our first ever trip. Bath houses were clean and convenient. The grounds were very well taken care of. Location was perfect!! I wish the weather wouldn't have been so "drizzly" while we were there, because I would have loved to walk the paths. Thank you Dahmer family for making our first ever camping trip amazing!!

We stayed in our RV for one night. The pull through site was fairly level and long enough for our RV and toad. The park has a couple of hiking trails. We only used the bathrooms, not the showers. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

I called ahead of time to inquire about why they don't recommend tent camping and they explained it was due to the highway noise. They pointed out sites that might work best for us and upon arrival assisted us very quickly with a brief electrical issue when setting up our campsite and overall I just felt very taken care of. The area by the pond also made for a great spot to lay out and stargaze at night.
