Travel

There are multiple travel and accommodation options in the area; here are some of our recommendations. If you prefer to be closer to town/civilization then Carbondale is a good option but if you prefer the solitude of the forest then Makanda & Giant City have numerous Airbnbs and cabins to stay in as well!

This is the closest airport to Southern Illinois and is just a 2 hr drive from Carbondale.
