Lake Murphysboro State Park

We love to go to see sunset and sunrises it just so beautiful.. very calm setting. U can camp in tent or r.v. you can fish or shower there there's playgrounds for children. Boat ramps to take ur boats out. And very pretty wildlife sounds very soothing when u have been in the city for awhile this is definitely the place to go to and unwind .. there's a few walking trails.

Great place to camp. Not far out of town. Each campsite has a great fire pit. Bathrooms aren’t bad and they have firewood on site.

The campground was amazing with all around views of lake. Definitely a few spots that are a must grab due to locale to lake and views of sunrise and seats.
A nice playground and maintained vault toilets. There are several tent only areas around lake and numerous picnic areas with BBQ pits at each as well. There is a shower house open 7a-10p and a boat ramp as well as numerous docks around lake too
The paved loop around lake(roadway) is secluded and scenic amongst the woods.

Great little two mile hiking trail outside of the campground. Well defined and not overgrown. It follows the fire lane pretty closely in places. Alltrails has the best map for getting a good look at it.

The weather was perfect and I had the primo spot and only one other camper in sight. Couldn't be any better than that.

Beautiful open spaces with gorgeous views of Lake Murphysboro.... will have to learn how to clean fish since I plan on returning to catch BASS

Absolutely love the place it's great for family time or just alone time reconnecting with nature

Our favorite place to camp. It quite, family friendly and absolutely beautiful! The campground host is one of the nicest people I've ever meet.

I love the tent sites nice a big.I grew up camping in New England CT, Maine and Rhode island and this is what I love to do.

Beautiful park! A great location to see the Illinois fall colors and hike around.

I didn't catch any fish! of course it's late in the season, Still beautiful and relaxing

Very Nice quiet and clean campgrounds

Very clean and well taken care of. Campground with bathrooms, showers, and places to fill your water jug if you camp.

Beautiful. Quiet.

A good picnic spot, arrangements for tables with outstanding view of the lake. Suitable place for Jogging and dog walking

Love the place.. but they got rid of all there trash cans

Amazimg personal space & community gratitude without the massive crowds.

Well kept and plenty of places to fish from shore. 10 hp limit on boats will typically cause the amount of wake minimal even on the busy days.

Nice and peaceful. One of my favorite state parks so far.

This is my favorite place to walk the dog and enjoy nature. There is plenty of space, it’s never crowded, and it’s beautiful.
