Southern Illinois is rich in recreation. There is plenty of outdoor activities, hiking, biking trails, boating and other outdoor activities at Rend Lake Giant City State Park, Garden of Gods and others in the Shawnee National Forest as well as a fabulous local Shawnee Hills Wine Trail.
I recommend staying in Marion, Illinois where you can commute with other participants the 15-20 min. to the event location. You will need to commute via automobile from Marion to the event location. Marion is central to other parks and the sites in Southern Illinois and offers a variety hotels and restaurants.
