Camped here as a child and enjoyed our trip back as adults. Was more of a place to stay this time as we visited family. Has had high water levels so beach and boat ramps were closed, but campground was still full. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We love Coon Creek!! The buddy sites are awesome, especially number 17. But please don't book it because we love it. Just kidding. The restrooms and showers definitely need some work and cleaning, but they have done some fixing up this year. Sites are somewhat private but could be spaced out more. Most sites have good access to the water, however you may have a steep hill. Just check them out before you book if possible. They have a really nice CG store with licenses, fish stuff, bait, food, ice, toys, souvenirs, etc. but at a pretty hefty price. So don't forget anything...Overall we love Coon Creek, but if you can't get a site there Opossum Creek is pretty good too!! We camped here in a Tent.

Don't bother with this area. The route to the CG is narrow, winding through cornfield back to the middle of nowhere. The sites are short. The site I reserved was displayed as a buddy site, for two trailers, 40 feet long. The actual site was 1 driveway, 30 feet long, and room for a buddy tent, MAYBE a popup. The roads are paved, but narrow. The shower house was moldy, and extremely dated, with many years of caulk over caulk, cracked fixtures, and no hot water. There are many other nicer places to spend your hard earned dollars in Illinois. The Corps of Engineers needs to review this CG, and give it an Extreme Makeover. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed for 3 nights in the 100 section, very nice spacious sites, we saw one site that was so long it had a large tt, SUV, Boat and second SUV! This leg also has the full hook ups across the road. We drove thru the various loops and other area COE CG's, and we felt our leg was one of the nicest in the area, certainly the largest sites. There are plenty of toilet bldgs, but they are in need of updating and better ventilation, could be cleaned better... One shower house not too far, I didn't use it but hubby said the shower was good, nice pressure. Laundryroom too, didn't use it tho. I liked the campground very much but the lake level was up 15 ft, so the beaches are closed. The playground is small and dated, so the kids were a little bored. No bike paths or hiking trails around, so activities were limited. I imagine if the lake levels were normal we could use the beach and fish from the shore, and the kids would have not complained so much...LOL. There is a very nice waterpark in town for only $4. The CG is convienent to town, and there is a very nice grocery store down the road from a Walmart. No campstore in the park but nearby a little store sells ice, etc. and a house down the road sold large stacks of firewood for $10. I would definetly return. Fix the bathrooms and have more for the kids and I'd give it a 10. If you had a full hook up site and no kids you might just love it! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is Corps of Engineers recreation area. Only part of the campground was open when we were here in early April. Only has a few full hook up sites. Sites were large with table and fire ring. Due to bad weather we did not see much of the rest of the campground, but what we did was clean and spacious. Camped in a 40 foot motor home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It was a nice place. I would go back there except it was a long drive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is really nice. Some sites with Electricity, but private ones mostly do not have it. Restrooms could use some work and cleaning. Nice water access with some steep hills. Overall pretty good!!! We camped here in a Tent.
