Discover Horseshoe Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips

Horseshoe Lake is an ‘oxbow lake’ in southwestern Illinois, close to the Illinois - Missouri state border and the cities of Collinsville, Granite City, and St Louis. The lake was created more than 3,000 years ago after a section of the Mississippi River was cut off from the channels main river. A crescent-shaped lake was formed. Horseshoe Lake is the second-largest natural lake in Illinois after Lake Michigan, and like most ancient lakes its average depth is only three feet. Despite this, Horseshoe Lake offers great conditions for both fishing and boating. This makes it the ideal Illinois lake for visiting with an RV rental.

Getting Outdoors

The keen fishermen and women among you will be pleased to hear that Horseshoe Lake is somewhat of an anglers paradise. The lake is home to a wide range of fish species, each with their own sporting characteristics. Three public boat ramps provide access to the lake, and there is also an all-access fishing pier. Largemouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, bluegill, and carp are here in high numbers. Catfish are known to be caught at Horseshoe Lake weighing up to forty pounds, perfect trophy size. Campers and anglers should note that boat fishing is not permitted during the waterfowl season.

Camping at Horseshoe Lake

There are a couple of choices when it comes to camping at Horseshoe Lake, depending on camper's preferences. Safari RV Park is only a short distance south of the lake and offers campers a wide range of amenities. Full hookups are provided here, including 20, 30, 50 amp electrical, water, and sewage hookups. On-site facilities include a laundry facility, showers, and flushing toilets. Big-rigs are also welcome at Safari RV Park, as many pitches are pull-thru sites. WiFi is accessible throughout the site.

Exploring The Area

Only a few miles west of Horseshoe Lake and known as the gateway to the west, St Louis is the perfect city to explore if you wish to venture further than the edge of the lake. No visit to St Louis would be complete without a trip to the famous The Gateway Arch National Park. The iconic arch commemorates the Louisiana Purchase and the subsequent westward movement of American explorers and pioneers. There is also a museum connected to the arch that offers exhibits and history of the arch.
