This is a very nice area, and a beautiful place to put a campground. That being said, this is one of the least favorite campgrounds we've stayed at on our 11,000 mile trip (and we've seen a lot). The campground is not well maintained. The sewer connections are horrible, they are actually uphill from my tank connection, requiring the use of a rubber donut to keep the stuff from running back out of the connection. It's basically just PVC pipe running along the ground that you put your slinky into horizontally. Very strange. Next to our campsite there's an electrical connection nailed to a tree for an overhead lamp with a switch on it. No electrical box, and just a little electricians tape to cover the connections. There are lots of seasonal campers, some decent, some really run down. The worst of it is the lady that runs the place. She was decent enough to me, but it's clear that kids aren't welcomed here. We have a 10 and 9 year old that do a good job with campground voices. They were "raking" some leaves to play in and the lady yelled at them for "covering" the roadway. We didn't, until that time, even know a roadway existed. The entire campground is covered in 4 inches of leaves. Had the staff not walked me to the campsite, I'd never been able to find the path. The nail in the coffin so to speak is that while we were out, the staff actually came and cleared the leaves from OUR campsite only, just to make a point that the girls weren't supposed to play in them. They didn't touch any other leaves. My plan was to put all of the leaves back this evening where we found them (save for putting them over the road), but I guess that's unnecessary. It was definitely a slap in the face. Although camping is limited in the Chicago area, avoid this campground if you can. Jellystone is another option, but no experience there. I personally wish now that I'd have boondocked at a rest area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
