Lakeside Timbers RV Campground

Campground in Neoga, IL • 126 RV Sites

Lakeside Timbers RV Campground in Neoga, Illinois, offers 126 full-hookup RV sites across 18 lakefront acres on Lake Mattoon, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 80 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Waterview, field view, and interior categories join a standard tier, with a marina, boat ramp, outdoor pool, and general store. One hundred twenty-six back-in sites run in 30/50-amp full-hookup, full-hookup field view, full-hookup interior, and full-hookup waterview categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 80 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming categories by outlook — water, field, or interior — tells you what you are booking, and 80 feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The store's provisions go well beyond standard camping supplies. A marina and boat ramp open the lake for boating, with an outdoor pool, game room, pavilion, dog park, swimming, and picnicking filling the rest. Wine and beer tasting is nearby. Pets are welcome. Lake Mattoon sits in the agricultural lake country of Cumberland County, where east-central Illinois's flatlands open onto one of the region's most productive recreational lakes. Effingham, Mattoon, and Charleston are all close, with I-57 and I-70 within a short drive. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for June through August weekends.
