Nice wide campsite, some with full hookups. Tent sites have great lake views. Nice quiet campground. Nice playground.
Like most COEs this is a really nice campground. We were in site 51 which is a FHU site. The site is small pea gravel, level and wide. The bathrooms are directly across but are very uninviting, and I did not use them. I would not follow your GPS. It takes you on route 5, which is a small, bad road. Take 128 instead to county rd 1650 (not 1600) and follow the signs. That road is not very good either, but it is only a 1/2 mile. We camped at Opossum Creek Campground in a Motorhome.
Opossum Creek Recreational Area is near and dear to my heart so definitely one of my favorite places to be adventurous! It is beautiful in every season but it was extra pretty with snow and ice covering everything. We didn’t want to have to carry them home. Walking in several inches of snow is quite a workout! It was very windy by the lake! I loved walking in the snow this afternoon but I am so ready to get my paddle board on the water, look at all the campers in the campground and talk to the campers. The smell of bacon is amazing if you’re running in the campground.
This is our place to camp when visiting friends in Pana. Been coming for years and always enjoy the beauty of nature, peaceful surroundings, cleanliness and low cost. This time the condition of the showers was disappointing. Never saw them so bad. Everything else was great, as always.
A great experience of outdoor critters, and swimming, and fishing. I Love the public bathroom centered around the campsite up the road. Ppl were friendly and the green trees were beautiful with the sunlight peering through. Book early!! Fills up fast
We stayed in Site 6, a beautiful, large shaded full hookup spot. Close enough o explore Springfield and Casey, Il.
