Wonderful campground. Clean and quiet with full hookups. Very affordable. 24 dollars a night for full hookups. No bathhouse. Beautiful scenery. Just outside of signal hill state trailhead. Would definitely recommend.
It wasn't a bad campground. It was quite and not a lot of people there. The one major issue I had was the toilets. They were porta potties and who knows the last time they had been serviced since there was only like 4 other people there and they were full. They smelled so bad and had tons of flies. If the campground would build a bathroom it would be a nice place to stay. The only way I would stay there again is if my camper had a shower and bathroom.
RV camped. Solid 3 stars...almost 4. Campground is small and basic. That said - it is well maintained. Electric service (30/50) available. Fairly flat area to back in park...no pull through. Area for kids to play and a medium size area to have a group cookout. Tent sites looked interesting. Bring bug spray...mosquitoes are no joke but site is 1/2 mile from swampland. You can buy wood nearby or you can scrounge for fallen wood if you have boots and pants all around the attached small nature trail or venture off of main nearby trail. Dump station is available @ entrance, one tank of water available @ site and they ask you to not take more. Sites are 30 - 40 feet from each other side to side...w easily 60 feet between each site tail - stern. Good stopping point if you have a drop trailer to embark on Shawnee adventures.
We stayed in a site, 12, that had 50amp power, water, & sewer hookups. Site 12 was also concrete and included a wooden picnic table, trash can, & firepit. There were a few other campers in the campground, but otherwise wide open. There is a drop box to deposit your payment (cash or check) on site or you can pay online line at the Village of Karnak website. There is a playground here beside site 13.
AT&T service
T-Mobile very weak service
Pretty nice campground. Fairly level spots, partial shade for some. Some cement slabs for 50 amps. Many full hook-ups.
Close access to bike and walking trails. Close to wildlife preserve.
Gave 4 stars because site not mowed, up to our knees and fire pit not cleaned.
