South Marcum campground, Illinois, United States


4.5 (35 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Benton Nature & Wildlife Areas

Camping at South Marcum

Camp sites were spaced far apart. Good views of lake but not great, bushes along shore blocked much of the view. Close to interstate and town. From where we camped you could see the traffic on the interstate. The way the loops are arranged you don't see a lot of traffic from other campers. Having a Walmart and Rural King close by was good. Very nice campground but not great. Would rate it 8 out of 10.

    great campground
    Great campground with paved sites. We stayed on 111 with a 42' fifth wheel. It was an electric only site. We had a partial view of the lake and it was level. The bathrooms and showers are together in one room and private which is a very nice feature. There is a boat ramp near by and the lake has a swim beach too.

    Lots of wild life
    What a beautiful campground, very clean and well taken care of. We stayed at a full hook-up site 137 every morning and evening the wild turkeys and deer walked by our site. Can't wait for spring to go back.
