If coming from the Chicago area or from the southern or eastern part of the State, exit off I-55 at McLean (Route 136 West) which is located 12 miles south of Bloomington/Normal. Continue west on Route 136 for 48 miles, turn left (south) onto Route 100. Drive an additional 9 miles and the Lake entrance is located on the left side (east) of the highway. If coming from the western and northwestern parts of Illinois on any of the following routes: 136 east, 41 south, 78 south, 97 south, or 24 to Route 100 south off of Route 136--after turning onto Route 100, drive an additional 9 miles to the Lake entrance located on the left side (east) of Route 100.
Nice place! Drove across the spillway and along the river. Had a good time
What a gem to find. Traveling across Illinois and not finding any places to camp. We were heading slowly towards Michigan. ..Decided to head up 100 along the river and tada!!. No amenities. ..so consider it rustic although there may be something up by the office. Quiet and really nice spread. And only $8. I kinda don't want to share this and keep it to myself. Another post said awesome sunrise. Campground is on the west side of the water.
Nice big camping and picnic area. It has several boat launches, decent bathrooms (including a handicap access one), a couple of covered pavilions, and picnic benches and fire pits all over.
Just drove through to look at the lake and see if things had changed since the last time I was there. It had been several years ago and since we were in the area we figured why not and went...
Had a great day with our friends that own Rut n Strut @AndersonLake. We camped at the campground and everyone made us feel welcomed
