Shawnee Forest Campground 

All Sites Full Service 

Our Family has built this campground in Vienna, IL. We found there is a need for more full hook up camping in Southern Illinois and Shawnee forest area. We hope you enjoy the progress of our campground. Being a new campground there will be many aspects of the campground that will need to grown in and fill in as time goes by. So our campground will get better year after year. Thank you for your support and for all the happy campers to come.

"Fabulous place ! It used to be a golf course and the golf cart trails are amazing for walking and e bikes!!! There are several beautiful lakes throughout the course. The Campground is very clean, safe and quiet. Of course there is highway noise, but the Campground itself is very quiet. The Campground hosts are very friendly and helpful. A great place to stay for sure. The southern Illinois area is beautiful with sooooo many amazing trails, state parks and lakes. Stay for a while and check them out!" -JB berg
