Washington County Lake Area

"Wonderful campground with a great bath house! Lake is super nice and quiet."

"We love the scenery at Washington County Lake. Horse shoe pit for you to play. Fishing decks, tons of beautiful pine trees."

"We rented a cabin for 2 nights. It was right on the water. Only 2 cabins on site but they are nice. Cabins include 5 beds, air-conditioning, heat, power hookup, and table and chairs. Fire pit, grill, porch, picnic tables, and plenty of parking. Water,restroom, showers on site but not in the cabin. It wasn't a problem for us. Especially at $45 a night. You can't beat it. We will be back!!"

"Beautiful country lake and location, quiet, pretty, lots of good views and wildlife, as well as good opportunities for camping, fishing and any other outdoor pursuits. Not too bad a haul from St. Louis, without the crowds of other similar spots in southern Illinois. Staff is friendly and works hard, but state cuts have hit them hard and I always worry about the future of this very nice retreat from the day-to-day world. Visit, take a walk, a run, a bike or a boat. Have fun!"

"Great state park for tent camping. Some nice spots right on the lake all with fire pits and tables. It is a small lake and much more quiet than some of the larger lakes nearby. There are boats to rent, a decent little bait shop and lots of places to picnic. Well maintained and mowed nicely. 10HP limit on lake and no swimming, just fishing. I like to do a little cyclo-camping here. Not as flashy as the big lakes but a nice quiet get a way."
