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. Both of our midwest camp properties in Benton and Makanda, Illinois are open for “physical distancing” camping opportunities. We limit the number of groups in camp at one time. We provide the greatest opportunity for everyone to stay safe, 6 feet apart, maintain small group gatherings, and adhere to state and industry guidelines. Large heated lodges, small cabins, and yurts are available at both camps
