Stayed at Ed Bottoms campground for three nights and ate at the Marina a couple of times. I found it be friendly and the service and food were both awesome.

I understand the other bad reviews now. We were told we couldn't park our boat in the campsite like we have been doing for the last 6 years. We do not bring a camper, we tent camp in the electric campground to charge the boat batteries, use CPAP machines, etc. Explained that we didn't have a camper and we have lots of $$ in fishing gear in the boat, we are not ok with parking it off site. Got a wishy-washy story saying it was always a rule, then blamed it on new management, etc. This rule is NOT on the website. In the meantime, the campground was a madhouse. Cars parked everywhere, including in OUR site. Had to find the owners to move them. People blaring music and yelling at 2 am, amongst other things. All of which were rules being broken that ARE listed on their site. No one ever enforced these rules though. Reached out to them on their website explaining my frustrations and looking for an explanation, trying to give them a fair chance before I leave a review. Never got a response, so here I am. What a shame... We used to love this place.

I love the lake; however, I was treated very rudely by the campground host and did not feel welcome. It also seemed like the other campers at Ed Bottoms campground were a tight nit group and they did not want anyone new staying in their campground. I left a day early because of this and would recommend Lake Murphysboro State Park, which is just down the road, for camping near the lake. They are much more welcoming at the state park, and the campground there is terrific.

Its so sad that the new owners that took over in 2021 havent even updated the website. They still have the previous owners listed as the current owners. It was such a great place to go until the current owners took over. I guess this is what you get when a bunch of political appointees use tax payer money to show their ignorance. Sad.
