Owl's Roost,

Benton, IL 62812

"I love Rend Lake. Actually most any lake. The water pressure is a little low in the shower houses. But it is warm."

"Clean and well spaced camping sites. Beautiful setting with sunny or shaded sites. Full hookup, electric and water, or just electric sites available. Lots of long asphalt parking pads can accommodate big rigs."

"The full hookup sight we stayed on was probably the worst of the loop. Ants and yellow jackets were present but for being in a very shaded sight we were able to get to enough satellite to get all the stations we wanted"

"Owl's Roost is a delightful section of the South Marcum Campground (managed by the US Corps of Engineers) full of perfect spots for RVers and tenters alike. The grounds were beautifully manicured and super tidy. Each site, superbly maintained, included a solid picnic table, fire pit and, depending on need, electric, water and sewer connections. The facilities, some just private toilets and sinks as well as others with rows of sinks and showers including changing spaces, were immaculately clean. There are beautiful vistas of the lake and there is a boat ramp for those who want to enjoy motoring on the lake and/or fishing. There are deer wandering around the grounds adding that extra charm. We are definitely going back there and savor more of what the Campground has to offer. A must go to place! We loved it!"

"South Marcum COE campground. Stayed for the weekend...no issues with the site or staff. 0-1 Bar of T-Mobile (600mhz band)"
