We had such an amazing trip to Tall Tree Lake to view the eclipse! We camped in the wooded area near the lake, which felt so nice and tucked away. The campground itself was immaculate, you can tell the land is really cared for. There were clean portable toilets available the whole trip in close proximity to where we camped. This is a huge property with a wooded area, open fields, and an awesome lake - you can’t go wrong with any spot on the property. We were able to pitch a tent wherever we wanted, which was nice! The field is awesome for viewing stars at night. This property is located in close proximity to anywhere you’d want to visit in Shawnee National Forest, and is close to some grocery stores and gas stations, but is located further back on a country road, so feels nice and secluded!
Other than the property, I want to shout out the amazing hosts Phil, Wade, and their entire family! They are such lovely people and were extremely helpful our entire stay. Their hospitality went above and beyond & really made this stay special!
I can’t wait to go back to Tall Tree Lake!
