The good news is that the cable is now installed. They did a nice job and it works well. The problem is that the install created a great deal of mud. I am sure that will improve with time. The owners are very nice. It is very close to the interstate. As others did, we were able to drown out the noise with a fan. Still, it is not like being away from it all.... The location can handle big rigs, but it is tight getting in there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Like other RV parks there is highway noise, but all it takes is a fan to drown it out. We never had a problem sleeping, and we were the closet to the highway you can be. The park is serene. While here we saw deer, chipmunks, song birds, moles, and caught fish in the pond. We stayed here three weeks. Only downside is the price. They will not work with you on long term prices. If you try to go monthly they want you to pay electricity instead of making it a package, and when it all comes down to it, it equals out the same, $32 a night. They still did not have cable. However, the cable company was out there working on it while we were there, so soon. We would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Yes, there is highway noise. We have basement air conditioning and simply leave the AC fan on all the time for white noise. Mutes the traffic enough to make it acceptable. This park appears to be well cared for and is being improved. The owners are really working at it, not just sitting back waiting for something to happen. They have added 50 amp outlets to some of the sites. The power boxes appear to be new. There are also new boxes with CATV and phone jacks, although they are not functional yet. They provide free wireless internet. It was strong at our site. Easy access from I-57 and a nice overnight stop, if you can tolerate or mask the traffic noise. Lots of dining and a Super Walmart within a mile. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Awesome, awesome campsite. We thought it was very spacious and clean. The views of the sunset by the lake were goregous! We would love to stay here again if we are in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Large COE campground at the south end of Rend Lake, by the dam. Sites are generous size and private - you don't feel cramped or closed in. There is 1 large extremely clean and well maintained shower house among the 5 camping loops, with smaller comfort stations scattered about in each loop. Nice views of the lake - in some areas you can keep your boat tied up at your site. Courteous camp hosts. There are 2 dump stations. This campground is about 10 minutes outside the town of Benton, where there is a Wal-mart and several restaurants. It's a great campground for fishermen. 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.

Campground located on Rend Lake. Sites were fairly well spaced; paved. This particular campground is in the middle of a Pine Forest so there were pine needles and pine cones everywhere, but not a huge problem. Bathrooms were fairly clean. Quiet family friendly campground. Wonderful beach, bike trails and great fishing. We will definately be back. The full hook-up sites book quickly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
