Carterville Acres
Welcome to the Campground Where Everyone Belongs. At Carterville Acres, every camper has a seat by the fire, no matter the trail that led them here. That’s why we’ve designed a campground where people of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities can come together to create memories under the stars. Whether you’re an experienced camper, a family trying it out for the first time, or someone looking for a getaway without the gear, we’ve got you covered. From fully-equipped cabins to cozy tent sites, our team is here to help you connect with nature and with each other in a space that believes in camping for all.
