Redbud Campground - Bell Smith Springs
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Bell Smith Springs is one of the most beautiful recreation areas the Shawnee National Forest has to offer. It contains a series of clear, rocky streams and scenic canyons bordered by high sandstone cliffs and an abundance of vegetation unique to Illinois. The trail system consists of eight miles of interconnected trails featuring strange and wonderful rock formations, such as Devil's Backbone, Boulder Falls and a natural rock bridge. Hiking this system of trails is a favorite activity because of the rock features, scenic overlooks, hidden springs and lush flora and fauna.Campground is first come- first served. No reservations. Amenities include: pad for small trailers/pop-up trailer or tent; picnic tables and firerings; non-electric; NO water or electric hook-ups
