Price reflects KOA discount and 4 children. We stayed here passing through the area. Campground is fairly easy to access from interstate. We checked in late and that process was easy. Because it was a quick stay, we did not use wifi or the facilities. Externally, however, the facilities looked worn. Campground was old and in need of updating. Interstate traffic can easily be heard and was surprisingly loud. Sites are very uneven but this was not and issue for us. It did not appear that there was much for the kids to do although we did not stick around long enough to find out. Overall, this seemed like a campground OK for a quick over night stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice staff who guided us to site. Site was gravel and fairly level. Laundry facilities were clean and tidy as were restrooms. Main drawback to this campground is proximity to interstate, which carries heavy traffic all night and is, therefore, noisy. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Positives: Excellent and helpful staff. Sites reasonable level and of adequate width and depth. Cable TV reception good. Negatives: Older campground which does not provide easy on/off from interstate (requires some minor traveling on small country roads to get there). No fenced dog area. We stayed one night. We had some rig difficulties and the KOA staff were extremely helpful in finding and getting a repairman to come to our rig to make a repair - very convenient and unexpected. We would definitely recommend staying here for the helpful staff and friendly environment. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Some new bathrooms, asphalt pads, and additional sewer hookups ( and some sites) were added to this campground in 2011. This campground is usually full, and has many waterfront sites on a large and busy COE lake. It's close to a boat ramp and the dam. Walmart is about 2-3 miles. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very large and manicured campground. It's on the shore of the very large Rend Lake. Far enough out of town to be quiet, but close enough if you need to run in for supplies. Some of the sites may require some leveling, but the cost and the hookups are worth it. The sites near the shoreline are generally electric only but as you move away from the shore, you get full hookups. Even though it is wooded, We were still able to get satellite reception. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice campground located next to Rend Lake. Very mature pine trees provide lots of shade. Very family friendly. Nice campground for people who are accustomed to camping in state parks and/or who are not looking for an RV resort. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in the Pine Tree Loop - full hook-up site. The sites were nice, lots of shade. Surrounded by pine trees so it can be some what tricky when parking the camper and when letting out the awning. Some of the camper pads could use some patching and leveling; ours was a little bumpy where the pavement was buckling a little. We love the fire pits and concrete picnic tables. The bike trail is nicely paved and not too hilly. The playgrounds are nice and shaded, this one needed some more wood chips but otherwise very nice. We will definitely return next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice, peaceful park on large Rend Lake reservoir. There are very few full hookup sites all located in reservable areas, but most sites have 50 amp power only. Central water available. There are 5 loops all reservable except Pin Oak loop (sites 199 to 220). Pin Oak sites are larger and better spaced than other loops. We were in Pin Oaks loop the first weekend in June, saw several open sites each day. Lots of birds. Lots of shade. Our favorite round steel fire pits and a table at each site. We will come here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
