New listing
Coon Creek is a large campground that sits on the western shore of Lake Shelbyville in the heart of central Illinois. Families enjoy the playground, swimming area and shaded campsites within the facility. The lake and surrounding land offer outdoor activities for people of all ages, including fishing, swimming, picnicking and simply relaxing. Lake Shelbyville offers a multitude of fishing opportunities for catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, muskie, walleye, white bass and bluegill. Coon Creek provides a boat ramp, and for those without a boat, several ponds with farmed fish are available around the lake. Hunting areas within a short drive offer numerous game species, including quail, rabbit, pheasant, deer, dove, turkey, waterfowl and woodcock. Visitors can also explore the lake shore on foot via the 0.7-mile Hide N Seek nature trail within the campground; the trailhead is across from the amphitheater near the main shower house. The campground is 100% reservable, with 181 campsites, all equipped with electric hookups. The facility has flush toilets, showers, a playground, bicycle pump track, basketball court, sand volleyball court, swimming beach, the Hide N Seek nature trail, dump stations, and a boat ramp. This facility overlooks the lake shore and is heavily forested with plenty of shade. Oak and hickory are the lake region's dominant tree species, and foliage turns a variety of red, orange, purple and yellow each fall, while prairie flowers dot the landscape in spring and summer. Numerous species of songbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl and raptors inhabit the lake area, as do mammals such as cottontail rabbit, white-tail deer, gray and fox squirrel, muskrat and mink. Eagle Creek State Park, the Little Illini and Chief Illini hiking trails, the city of Findlay, and Forrest Park in Shelbyville all provide great opportunities to explore Lake Shelbyville. The nearby Hunter and Fishermen parking lots, Woods Lake Waterfowl Refuge and Okaw Bluff Wetlands Complex are popular locations for wildlife watching, birding, and hunting.
