Shawnee as you know is a huge geography, its the entire southern tip of Illinois on either side of I57. On the eastern side it lies between Ohio river and I57 and on the Western Side its between I57 and Mississippi. Aprox about 80 mile wide and 70 mile long till the tip of Illinois where Ohio meets Mississippi. There are plenty of Lodging spread across the Geography, so you need to decide what are your area of interest and may be get a lodging close to that. I personally stay at Cave In Rock state park cabins, just because of the view from the cabin on to the Ohio River and Kentucky river valleys across. It also has a nice Restaurant, and on the western side of the forest is the Giant City State Park Lodge with a Restaurant, this is closer to Carbondale. Giant City ine has more Cabins than Cabe in Rock, which normally wuld cost $150 And there are many Private cabins with same price which also has all Kitchen utensils to cook.
