It is gonna have a new parking lot and access road, a very nice place to take the family.
My hubby and myself arrived at the Crab Orchard Campground on August 20th afternoon to try our luck - grab a camp spot for watching the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse! No luck, no vacancy at all. It was burning hot and cicadas in the trees made us even more worrisome. Here Chatheryn and Paula the two ranger ladies offered warmhearted help - hand-writing information of four other campgrounds for us to call. When searching for more information for helping us out, here came a cancellation call! Chatheryn and Paula, here we thank you not just for the campground spot, but especially for your kindness, caring, customer devotion and professionalism. For thanking the two ladies, here let me share two iphone pictures taken at 1:21 pm, August 21, 2017, when the 2017 total solar eclipse taking place at Crab Orchard Campground.
Just drive up, park and enjoy the nature or stay for the camping. There is also a beach. You need a sticker to access the park at all times but it's $15 for the whole year beginning July
Great location on the lake not far from the highway. Wildlife all around.
Absolutely Gorgeous We were fortunate enough to observe the eclipse here. Hosts and hostesses were helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful time
