Nice clean, friendly park. The playground was a bit on the older side, but obviously someone cares enough to keep it maintained and working. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stay here at least once a year with our camping club. This year we stayed here on the first weekend of June. We were in a fifth wheel.this is a nice little campground close to I-57 easy on and off. Its quiet .there is really not much to do around here shopping is about 20 minutes away all major stores. The pool is nice & clean. They seem to have trouble keeping up with the day to day things that must be done, the campsites were a messy. I mean littered with bottle caps, cigarette butts, food etc. When I advised a worker about the egg shells left on the site across from mine he said oh yea I seen them yesterday. He went on his way without cleaning the site. The owners are nice & helpful they are doing good. The help needs an adjustment. This koa has a nice playground.all in all we always go back and will again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park will be really good once the new owners do some work. The bathrooms were mostly clean, but so old it was hard to tell. One of the shower stalls was peeling and one seemed not to have hot water. The pool was closed, so I don't know about that. Also, the water has a very odd smell from the metals in it. I for one did not drink it. The wifi was pretty reliable, and when it did go out, they at least knew what to do about it. Sites are a good size, nice and shaded with some grass that could use some work since there's dirt showing through. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This has to be a '10' for us. The site is what you might expect, from a KOA, but it was our first. We pulled in with Temp plates on the camper and our tow vehicle. Folks gathered from every direction to help out the 'newbies'. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Used this campground as base to visit Chicago, Enterprise picks you up at the campground. A bit far out to visit Chicago took 1-1/2 hours daily to get downtown. Nice park, open spaces, clean. Could use a bit more stone and gravel on the sites as dirt was evident. Did not use the pool (closed for the season). We camped here in a Motorhome.

Koa would be fine for a quick over night stay. The weekend we were there they had some sites rented to guys that had a generator and welder goig all day building a hauler bed on a truck. I was a bit confused, did I book at a campground or a metal fab shop?? I believe that the campground has since changed hands so maybe it has improved. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Narrow sites, expected in a private campground, but grassy, and lots of shade from large oak trees. Very few sites for really big rigs - those we saw had to unhitch tow vehicles or toads to fit in their sites. Friendly new owners (2004) are making improvements, and previous comment regarding seasonals no longer applies. Bathrooms old & a bit worn, but clean, and have had some refurbishment recently. Cg seems to appeal to groups of locals and NASCAR & Bears fans, rather than overnighters. Some nice tent sites around edge of campground. A potential problem exists if there is a strong south wind, as the cg is located just north of a large landfill. Not a problem the days we were there, however. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This used to be a nice park. However, permenant residents now rule the park taking all
shady sites, not following rules and running wild at all hours. With two-thirds of the park permenant it is not a place we will be returning. We camped here in a Motorhome.
