GenieSummary
Pharaoh Campground and Picnic Area is located in Garden of the Gods, Shawnee National Forest, offering stunning views of the surrounding area. The campground is well maintained, with pit toilets, fire rings, picnic tables and hanging poles for trash or lanterns at each site. It is a great base location for sightseeing, hiking, and exploring the lands between the mighty rivers. The campground is small and fills up quickly, especially during the fall when the leaves are changing. There is a horse preparation area right by the main parking lot that has direct access to the trail. The campground is also close to Little Grand Canyon, a natural bridge, and Illinois wineries. Be sure to hide your food at night as raccoons are guaranteed to inspect them! The Garden of the Gods Observation Trail is a short, easy hike with some amazing scenic views. Pharaoh Campground offers a great camping experience for those looking for a small area and tent camping.
From The Campground
Garden of the Gods Recreation Area is a year-round campground located in Shawnee National Forest. The campground offers tent and camping trailer sites, with vault toilets and drinking water available. The Observation Trail features unique sandstone rock formations and panoramic views of the surrounding Garden of the God Wilderness. Interpretive signs explain the geological history. The 1/4-mile trail is made of natural sandstone and takes about an hour to walk. It contains short, steep grades and steps; benches are located along the trail and as a whole the trail is not tiring. Caution should be used due to the high cliffs in the area.
