Located 4 miles south of Nashville, the park is in close proximity to Interstate 64, and Illinois Highways 15 and 127. Going East on I64 use exit 50 at Nashville, go south on Illinois Highway 127, go through Nashville, approximately 8 miles. Turn left onto Conservation Rd., at entrance to Washington County Conservation Area.

This recreational area is great! The lake is very pretty and the trail along the Northeast side of the lake is absolutely beautiful. Plenty of ups and downs to keep it interesting. The trail can get rather muddy so it’s best avoided after a heavy rain. Only a few miles of the Wacca Lake trail is actual trail. The other parts are road and gravel, but the surrounding are still very beautiful with fields of various flowers.
A wonderful family friendly area, conveniently located close to home. We love taking the toddler and dogs out here. The only disappointment, is the amount of fishing line/trash left behind by others. It poses a real hazard to our local wildlife and kids visiting the area.
Lots of trees which is a great thing.
All sites are 30 amp.
Could definitely use some electrical upgrades to 50 amp since it’s 2023 and a lot of campers are 50 amp now.
Definitely will be camping here again.
I love Washington County Lake. It's always a great small little place to get away for the day or weekend. It's beautiful out there. It's a great place to take the kids to run around. Great for bow hunting, and they have an archery range as well. It's a smaller place but I like that just because it's not as crowded as the bigger lakes. Nice sunset views and fun fishing or just being with nature.
