Giant City State Park campground is a very well maintained campground that is probably the cleanest Illinois state park and campground I've been to. Little Grassy Fish Hatchery is a short drive a way and a fun place to visit for kids or outdoor enthusiasts, and you are basically in the middle of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail consisting of 11 different local wineries. There is also a newer splash pad in Carbondale and various really good hiking trails within the state park. I highly recommend this campground.
