Located just 1 & 1/2 miles from Findlay, Illinois, Eagle Creek State Park is conveniently located close to I-57 as well as several major highways and state routes. Eagle Creek is approximately 30 miles West from I-57 at Mattoon, Illinois (exit onto Rt. 16 West) and 9 miles North of Shelbyville just off of Hwy. 128
Love the large site we had. Nice that all the hiking trails were right in the campground. Great host!
This place is an awesome gem tucked away in Illinois at Lake Shelbyville. We had an amazing stay while we were here for four days. We started @ Oak Ridge tent campsite #2 because we arrived so late Saturday evening. The camp host came and visited us and told us we would enjoy site #15 on the other side of the valley. He was absolutely correct!! We had brought our little Jon boat with and at site 15 there was a private cove wit plenty of room to tie up the boat. The cove averaged 13’ deep so larger boats would be fine as well. Site 2 was super close to bathroom and water. Site 15 was a short walk to the facilities. We were the only people there camping tho!! Everything was super private and quiet. Boat launch was free and down the road about a mile and a half. 2 lane ramp with wheelchair access boat ramp. Fish cleaning station and plenty of room for tons of trucks and trailers. They advertised a movie in the park Saturday night, but we didn’t go see what that was all about. RV camping area was pretty full, but we’re tent campers. Ten star rating!!!! We will definitely be back very soon!!
My wife and I just stayed here for the week and it was fantastic! The hosts are absolutely the best we've ever had!!! It's a very nice campground with plenty of wildlife to see. There's deer, lots of birds, coons, turkeys and fox and keep your eye out for an eagle now and then.
We've been coming to eagle creek to camp for years. The campground is well maintained. The hosts are warm and friendly. There are tons of beautiful hiking trails. It's situated right on Lake Shelbyville for plenty of boating and fishing opportunities. Eagle Creek golf course is also right down the road.
