Camping at South Marcum Campground on Rend Lake offers a unique blend of outdoor recreation and wildlife encounters. Deer are a common sight, often grazing peacefully near the campground or venturing through the wooded areas. A short drive from the campground, you’ll find a picturesque field near the dam where sunflowers bloom in vibrant hues during the summer months. This creates a stunning backdrop for photos and offers a chance to witness the beauty of nature in full bloom.
