Robert and Lora Taira are the owners of Castaways at Coon Creek.
We’re a seasonal camp store and bait shop. Located outside the entrance of Coon Creek Recreation Area – just south of Findlay, IL at 1643 County Hwy 42, Shelbyville IL. For directions using Google Maps, click here.
Ice, water, and pop are available 24/7. You pay for 10lbs of ice but it’s set to vend more like 12lbs. It will overflow the 10lb bags we have so you may want to bring your cooler instead! Firewood is also available 24/7 – the bundles are on the porch – if we closed, just put your money in the mailbox mounted on the end of the wood rack.
No need to drive into town! We carry live bait, fishing and camping supplies, groceries, liquor, fire wood, ice, and more! We also serve Hunt Brother’s Pizza & Wings!
We also offer video gaming in a private room!
We have a Propane Fill Station. We can do exchanges on 20lb & 30lb tanks and fill 20-100lb tanks including hard mounted tanks.
