Camping at Wilborn Creek (Group Camp) near Shelbyville

Public campground · Shelbyville · 1 campsite · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing.

About this campground

The wider Lake Shelbyville area supplies the rest of the outdoor program: anglers will find catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, muskie, walleye, white bass and bluegill in the lake, and for non-boaters several farmed ponds around the lake offer more fishing options. The landscape around Wilborn Creek is heavily forested with oak and hickory, with prairie flowers in spring and summer and a vivid palette of reds, oranges and yellows in fall; look for songbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors and mammals like white-tailed deer, cottontails, squirrels, muskrat and mink.
