Camping and Fishing at GTS Manor

There is so much to do at GTS Manor you'll have to spend a weekend here to do it all. Some of the hi-lights include bass fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, and other activities.

We have 3 quiet secluded campsites for you to spend your central Illinois vacation. You will love camping in a non-crowded campsite.

Campsite A includes 110v power access and the nearby sand beach is great for building a sand castle, swimming or just relaxing in the sun working on your tan.

Campsite B is a little further away from the amenities but offers many great fishing holes nearby for catching Bass, Bluegill, Catfish and Crappie.

Campsite C is very secluded and offers the best wildlife viewing opportunities. You'll love seeing all the various birds, squirrel, rabbit and the occasional deer.

You can usually catch some fish in one of the 3 stocked ponds. Good Illinois bass fishing is one of the top attractions for people of all ages along with some of the best pond catfish fishing in the area. If you need help, Gary Stiles would be glad to show you the ropes and teach you to fish. There's also a small fishing boat available for those "hard to reach" areas and hybrid bluegill fishing. Crappie always put up a fight to stay in the water and survive.

Theres 15 acres of timber, grasses and water for you to enjoy. Depending on the time of year you will like watching the wildlife of various kinds. There's alot of birds for you birdwatching aficionados including Blue Jays, Cardinals Hummingbirds, Owls, Woodpeckers and many many more.
