An adequate park for those wanting to explore Lincoln land, mostly given over to seasonal pipeline workers. The guy next to us had his car hood up and his gas tank removed all day. The park needs an overall cleanup/raking. Bath house was old and dark, but clean and functional. CATV excellent. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We've camped here many times and it's been a good experience. The night we arrived it had been raining and most of the sites were pretty muddy. The staff is very friendly and the park is quiet. We've stayed here for 2-weeks on one occasion and would do so again. It's also a good place for an overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy to find from the interstate, no road or train noise. Although not gated, felt very secure. Run by some very nice people. Sites are gravel with grass along side, but long and level with table and fire pit. Good cable, but due to the trees, rooftop satellite reception is iffy. Laundry is only a $1 to wash or dry and the showers are complete with sink and stool all together. The bonus was a mobile wash service that cleaned our filthy coach while we were out touring with only one day notice. We will camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Out of the way -- very quiet. Near Lake Springfield area which is very nice. About 8 miles to Lincoln stuff. Need better signage to get you off the interstate. Follow directions in the KOA book to a T and you should have no problem Adequate place. WiFi available only near registration building / store. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice campground in the city of Springfield, IL. The campground has gravel streets and pull thru's. The sites are grass that is mowed regularly. The campground is not intended for children as there is nothing to entertain them on sight. The benefit of this campground is its location. Visit the new Lincoln Library and Museum, the IL State Capitol, etc. 1 mile to restaurants, grocery's, hardware, repairs, shopping. On site well-stocked RV store, great propane service. Easy access from interstate. Nice quiet place to stay while visiting Springfield, IL. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Call before making your way to this campground! We didn't and had to unhook the car and back up our 31' RV down a one lane road because the road in was suddenly covered with 2-3 ft. of water! The host was very nice as she guided us down backroads until we saw that yellow KOA sign! The park was very water logged. We had to wear waterproof shoes to walk our dogs around the park. The bathrooms and showers were clean. Overall, it's nice, but I don't think we'll trek in to this particular campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here in a travel trailer. The KOA is a small one located out in the country. It is one of the quietest we've stayed in for city and highway noise. The sites are close together yet it seemed that the owners take that into consideration as they make site assignments. The bathhouse and campground are showing their age. The pool was clean and had a playground and mini golf course nearby. We noticed several tent campers and lots of families with children on the weekend. The bathhouse ran out of paper towels mid afternoon one day and had not been refilled mid morning the next day. We had WIFI connectivity all but a few hours one evening yet it was a slow connection. Our power cord was not long enough to reach the electric hookup and the owner lent us an extension cord during our stay. When storms came through and the tornado sirens went off, the owner came out in the storm to let us know that we could seek shelter in their basement. The owners were very much on site and available during our stay. The KOA appears to be a weekend family destination. We were able to find the campground with a map and by following the KOA signs along the way once we left Interstate 55. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small, but clean pool. Dirt/gravel sites were badly in need of gravel. We arrived while it was raining and encountered lots of mud. Trash was picked up at site each morning. WiFi was broken the first several days we were there. I am not sure we would have been able to locate the campground without a GPS. Electric for adjacent site was two feet from our front door, limiting the minimal privacy available. We will try the Double J next time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Spent forever trying to find this park. Waaayyy off the highway in a remote area in the middle of a corn field. I reserved a 50 amp spot (I always make sure I verify that this is available before reserving a spot) and upon finally arriving in the dark, was told by the host/owner, that they didn't have any available because I didn't reserve one (per his wife, the lady I spoke with to make the reservation). They were not really rude, just abrupt. After much discussion, he agreed to loan me a 30 amp adapter for the night although he reiterated that he could really charge me for it. The park was ok, the amenities, ok, etc. Roads were not paved, slots were not paved, but it was shady and pleasant. There seemed to be amenities for the kids, but because it took us forever to find this place (scary driving down small two lane roads with limited areas to turn around) that we didn't arrive until after dark. We left early the next am so didn't have time to use facilities. Doubt if we would stay here again unless no other places were available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
