"McNair Spillway loop on the Kaskaskia River Carlyle Illinois. Electric/ water sites .. hot showers .. open all year. $9.00 with pass $18 without. A beautiful well maintained Corps of Engineers campground with so many amazing pelicans in January. It was just awesome."
"Nice camping grounds and the spillway river went bye our lot so I went fishing , was just too hot of weather to fish very long . Got a couple good bites though ."
"We love this campground, wish the corps of engineers would wake up and realize that people want to stay longer than 14 days. Other than that, it's a great park!"
"Stopped at site 46 for a few days while visiting family.....ok spot. Water, electric and the bathrooms not far away. All blacktop and back in. Spot 44 or 45would be a better choice since there is a small spot (47) very close to one side. No one was there in December 2022 so no problem for me. The power pole in the photo is for spot 47."
"We always look forward coming to Dam East, but OMG I was blown away seeing the new add on water to every site! Thanks for the surprise!"
