Great campground on Carlyle Lake. We had a wonderful lakefront spot with great fishing. Not much around the lake to do, but if you are a water lover or fisherman, this is a great campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice Corps of Engineers campground on Lake Carlyle. The sites were huge, ours was over 100 feet long. There was lots of shade and plenty of space between sites. We would definitely stay here again. Think carefully though how close you want to be to the water. A few sites closest to the water had to be closed due to the recent flooding. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an excellent COE campground on Carlyle Lake, Illinois’ largest man-made lake. Sites 75 - 97 are full hookup. Many of the sites in the campground are long enough to fit a fifth wheel, truck, and a boat. The campground is close to the marina and a restaurant. The restrooms and shower houses are clean, but there wasn’t a hot air blower or towel dispenser in the restrooms. There are grocery stores and a WalMart close by in the town of Carlyle. We used our “America the Beautiful” pass and paid $12 for a full hookup site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent CG. Nice staff on site, close to beach, groceries, WalMart, and restaurants. A great place to go and spend quality time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Outstanding campground! Large level lots with lots of privacy. Most have beautiful views of lake. Staff is friendly and helpful. We have stayed here twice. Only drawback is 4PM checkout and 5 PM check-in. We had to wait for our site to be vacate on last visit. Staff found us a place to park where we could hook up and wait in comfort. We camped here in a Motorhome.
COE campground, well maintained with paved roads & sites. Some sites on Lake with boat access. Coin laundry at Main Showerhouse. Quiet surroundings & friendly people. We camped here in a camper.
Very pretty camp with lots of shade trees. The big draw back is it's distance from main highways. Park needs some restoration. They did have WiFi but the modem broke and they did not repair or replace it. I was directed to a site which was a nice choice but narrow on a winding road. The manager did not follow me or show me the site or help with my backing up. I was traveling alone so had to get in and out of the truck to check distances and obstructions. They need a lesson in park management. I just stayed over night and left the next day instead of staying longer. Park was empty except for two of us. Getting out of the site next day was fun due to the close confines and 360 degree tight turn to exit the area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
With all the amenities and a great staff, this is a wonderful campground to stay at. With a little TLC this has the pontential to be a top notch place - then I would rate it a 10. We camped here in a camper.

Lovely park with lots of amenities. Swimming Pool, putt putt gold, tennis, basketball courts, horseshoes, shuffleboard, fishing, hicking, biking, and many more. Lots of room on each site with fire ring and picnic table. Laundry facilities, clean bath houses, special events, restraurant and a good clean family atmosphere. We camped here in a camper.
