Public Transportation

Amtrak goes to Carbondale, which is a 15 minute drive from Shawnee Cave Amphitheatre.
The nearest airport is in St. Louis. Flights to Chicago, a five-hour drive away, are often much cheaper.

General directions From Chicago

Take Interstate 57 South. You will be on Interstate 57 for about 300 miles before you exit.

Merge onto state highway IL-13 W via exit number 54B toward Carbondale. Stay on 13. Follow all signs for IL-13 until it turns to Highway 127. This will be just past the Kroger supermarket. You will need to take a sharp left past Kroger to stay on Highway 127.

Following Highway 127 you will make a final soft right fork when 127 splits from Murphysboro Road (old Highway 13). Check your odometer at this turn. Shawnee Cave Amphitheatre is exactly 6.9 miles past that. You will stay on 127 during this final leg of the journey.

It may be difficult to see (being overgrown by trees), but on the right you will see a sign that reads "SALT PETRE CAVE, A BEAUTIFUL PARK. NEXT RIGHT".

Entrance will be on the right. Pull around to the right to the "REGISTRATION" shelter. After you have been checked in, parking is directly past REGISTRATION.

You cannot drive to your campsite. You must take the shuttle, or walk, or bicycle in.

Camping, lodging


Shawnee Saltpetre Cave Amphitheatre is one of the United States' oldest natural amphitheatres for the performing arts. The Amphitheatre features 53 acres of large rocky bluffs, strange rock formations, a roaring waterfall and winding waterways, nature trails and wildlife. Saltpetre Cave Amphitheatre, which has operated since the 1970s, can accommodate more than five thousand attendees, and frequently hosts crowds of more than two thousand.

To reach the heart of the park, one must first descend a winding road to the foot of the large cliff where the cave is positioned. The Cave itself is a natural saltpetre cave formed in the side of a limestone bluff. The camping area is surrounded by woodland, and sits at the top of the bluff that forms the theatre. The open-mouth cave is 215 feet wide at the mouth and is Southern Illinois' largest bluff shelter. The cave, which took 1 million years of flowing water to create, is located at the base of one of Saltpetre Park's large rock bluffs. In the summer, the Cave is about fifteen degrees cooler than the ambient air temperature. The area has very few mosquitoes because of the hundreds of cliff swallows who live in the bluff and make mosquitoes their lunch.

The park is only yards off the highway and is a perfect stop for hikers and nature lovers on their way to Bald Knob Cross or other sections of the Shawnee National Forest. Shawnee Cave Amphitheatre, six miles south of Murphysboro on Highway 127, is less than two hours drive from St. Louis, and a five hour drive from Chicago, 15 minutes from Carbondale and less than half an hour from Giant City State Park.

  • You don't have to camp to attend the event. Here is a list of motels in nearby Carbondale. We recommend the Anna Plaza Motel (Anna, IL) 618-833-5215; Days Inn (Carbondale) 618-457-3347 and Super 8 (Carbondale) 618-457-8822.
  • Wristbands must be worn at all times. Broken wristbands must be returned to event organizers who will issue a replacement. People without wristbands must pay the $55 gate fee for a new wristband. People found on the property without a wristband, who are unwilling to pay the gate fee, will be escorted off the property through the main gate, no exceptions.
  • Campers, prepare for rugged camping. Tents only - no RVs, trailers or campers allowed.
  • LEAVE NO TRACE. All participants are required to clean their own campsite and place all trash and garbage in provided dumpster. Participants who do not keep their campsite clean or caught littering may be asked to leave.
  • Water, ice and food can be purchased from Shawnee Cave Amphitheatre.
  • Ground fires are permitted only at six designated fire circles within the campground. Firewood is available for purchase.
  • Glass bottles are completely forbidden within the park. Bringing glass bottles into the park can be grounds for removal of participants. We reserve the right to search the vehicles of attendees for the presence of glass containers.
  • Nothing illegal is allowed in the park.
  • No ins and outs from the park between midnight and 6 a.m. We charge $5 re-entry fee for people returning to the event during these hours for safety reasons.
  • The organizers of this event, and the owner of Shawnee Cave, can remove attendees for any reason.
  • No independent sound stages allowed.
  • No pets allowed.
  • Portapotties are provided.
  • Wander around the property, especially at night, at your own risk. There are many dangerous trails. Be careful.
  • Bring a bicycle if you want. Shawnee Cave Park is big enough that you will be glad you brought one (we reserve the right to temporarily confiscate bikes ridden unsafely). A shuttle will also be available during certain hours to drive people around the park. The shuttle costs one or two dollars per use.
  • Plan for rugged conditions. Think Burning Man but with bugs. The difference is, you can drive into town to buy supplies. Good things to have: tent, shade shelter, sleeping bag, insect repellant (there are mosquitoes and other biting insects), flashlights, batteries, sunscreen. Good walking shoes. Nights might be colder than you expect.
  • Your cellphone will probably not work. If you come with buddies you may consider buying a set of two-way radios.
  • Buying supplies: your best bet nearby is a Kroger at Route 13 & Highway 127 in Murphysboro.
  • CAUTION: several motor vehicles rove the camp constantly. Be on the lookout for trucks and cars, especially at night. DO NOT CAMP IN THE ROAD.
  • STAFF We are hiring. Staff are required to work 2 non-consecutive eight-hour shifts. You must be able to be at the venue by noon on Friday. You will still need to pre-register or pay at the gate, but when we confirm you have completed your staff volunteer work, we will refund your admission, and pay you $40 on top of that. You also get an event T-shirt. Contact us at crew (AT) chilluminati (DOT) org for more details
  • PARTICIPATE This event is wide open for all visual art, performance, acoustic unamplified, dance, fire, art installations, healing arts, yoga, meditation, and/or whatever other freaky idea you might have. Write us if you have a question.
