Been looking in the directory and online for campgrounds near Carbondale. We will be in the area next summer. I see there is Carb Orchard CG, Giant City State park and Little Grassy Lake CG. Has anyone been to any of these and what else would be motor home friendly? Need showers and hookups. Those three seem reasonable pricewise. Thanks.

Lived in Carbondale for 10 years, there's some decent state parks to visit, but the camping is suffering from lack of funding.

Giant City, Crab Orchard, Little Grassy, none have concrete pads, all gravel or dirt.

I would suggest Marion RV as they have full hook-up, with wi-fi.

Full laundry facilities, showers, park, etc.

Good luck!

I go to Rend Lake and while there we road triped to Siketon MO for Lamberts Cafe "Home of the thrown roll" and on the way back stopped by Crab Orchard and it was all gravel old looking we didnt care for it so we crossed it off our list But Rend Lake has 5 campgrounds and love the area next time we get down I'm hoping to explore Giant City etc....I'm always looking for new campgrounds to stay at. Good Luck

Adam, thanks for the suggestion of Marion RV park. I'll look that up. Thanks Camper too for your comments. We have time to find an appropriate place and what you all have seen helps.
