Been looking for IL lakes to fish but those dang horsepower limits are killing me I'd be better served looking for non hp lakes, then camping, THEN at the prosective for good fishing.
Still looking at it though...
Clinton Lake- no hp restriction, has 300+ campsites, and lots of Crappie bigger than 10" :mrgreen:
Just throwing this out there. Clinton also has
group campsites. A group camp area for adults or youth groups has room for 75, minimum of 10. It provides a secluded wooded setting and has a large shelter with electricity, three RV pads with electrical hookups, toilets, tables, grills and water there are no shower facilities at the group camp area. We can use the regular campsite shower facilities, just have to walk or drive to them.
Cost is $20-$40 per night- doing the math assuming the max cost and minimum number of people. $40x2nights= $80 divided by 5 teams (10 people) is
$8 per team member per night. For comparison,
regular electrical campsites are $20-$25 dollars per night. More teams, lower cost per team.
Thinking out loud, it would be great to camp as a group like we did in Wisconsin, at Clinton we can get a group rate, be in one spot that will accomodate campers, and tents, plus it has a shelter, fire pit, and water.
Like BYOB says, Bass length limit is tough, and Shelbyville may be a better option.
Im open to where ever.
