BRINGING FIREWOOD INTO THE SHAWNEE NATIONAL FOREST FROM MANY AREAS IS PROHIBITED. Use local firewood to protect our beloved forest from destructive insects (like emerald ash borer) and invasive disease (like Sudden Oak Death Disease). THERE ARE FEDERAL AND STATE IMPOSED QUARANTINES FOR AREAS OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MISSOURI, WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, OHIO, MARYLAND, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WEST VIRGINIA. Fines start at $500 for violation within the state of Illinois and fines up to $250,000 for violation across state lines! FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE http://www.emeraldashborer.info/
We do sell firewood for $12 for a 'load' of about 50-55 pieces, delivered to your campsite.

The nearest restaurant is only 1 mile from Hayes Canyon Campground. The Shawnnee Restaurant and Lounge in Eddyville has delicious food. Their fish fry on Friday nights draws a crowd. They welcome trail riders with hitching rails and cold drinks. Karoke on many weekends.
The nearest full grocery store is 12 miles East of Eddyville in Golconda, a quiet town on the Ohio River. There you will also find gas, diesel, bars, and restaurants.
Only 19 miles North of Eddyville on Hwy 145 is Harrisburg. There you will find a new Super Wal-Mart, other grocery stores, many restaurants, and fast food.
About 15 miles North of Eddyville is Hathaway's Feed, Fuel, and Garden Shop. Here you will find propane re-fills and horse feed.
In Marion, IL you will find McKinney's Western Store. They have hundreds of saddles, bridles, apparrel, and every sort of horse equipment under the sun! www.mckinneyswesternstore.com
The Shawnee Mart gas station and convenience store in Eddyville is closed as of January 2011 and is for sale.

A very cool trip planner can be found at the link below.
Put in your proposed dates of travel, and for the destination put our zip code 62928. It will tell you the average temperature, humidity, cloud cover, wind, and what are the chances of having a rain day during your stay. Notice the historical highs and lows. Even if the average high is, say, 70, be prepared for highly variable weather if the historical highs range from 37 to 97 !!!

When packing for your trip, include extra electric cord, water hose, and septic hose. Due to the many trees on the campsites your electric/water supply post or septic stub may be up to 30 feet from your parking pad. Don't forget a manure fork to clean pens (put in wheeled cart provided at your campsite and we will empty daily).
If your campsite includes a covered/matted stall you may use without bedding, or you may bring your own bedding or buy it here. We sell bagged bedding for $4.70+tax = $5 per bundle.
Always call ahead for hay availabiltiy, but we usually have grass or alfalfa hay for sale.
