Get Outdoors in Southern Illinois

We believe everyone can use some time away these days. Camp Manitowa offers families, small groups, and individuals an opportunity to get out of the house, get out of the city, and get into nature. We offer private accommodations in a beautiful  outdoor camp setting. 

12 yurts, 8 climate controlled cabins are available, along with tent camping where we can provide the tents!
