A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.
Dale Miller Youth Campground sits on the southeast shore of Rend Lake, where wide grassy fields slope down toward the water and the surrounding mix of woods and open ground makes the area good for spotting deer, turkey, fox, raccoon, opossum and changing congregations of waterfowl through the year. Rend Lake itself spans roughly 19,000 acres of water and about 20,000 acres of surrounding land, so the campground feels part of a much larger recreation landscape: boat ramps, swimming beaches and miles of trails are all within easy reach, and nearby draws include the Rend Lake Resort and the 27-hole championship golf course.
Length limits vary by campsite.

“Water faucet, cabin door handle, and window were broke, when we arrived. Four days later they fixed the faucet. They told us someone would fix the other two, and no one did. The only other problem is the cabins had a lot of spiders. ”
“3 of the 30 amp breakers kept tripping. Other than the one issue very nice facility, fun for the kids on the beach. ”
