Great KOA! Nice spots, plenty of shade, very friendly owners. Only gripe was the $10 "deposit" on the key for the gate, meaning you can't leave early and get your money easily. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This KOA charges a $2.00 walk in fee to people without reservations. The showers are old and the bathrooms are not well kept. Some sites have steep drop-offs. To top it off the Wi-Fi went down for the weekend and nobody in the office could fix it. They charge a $10 cash deposit for a electronic pass key to get in and out of the gate so if you have to hang around until they open to get your deposit back when you leave. I don't get what KOA is doing with getting rid of there discount program and adding these garbage fees. I do know they are not seeing me as often. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed for holiday weekend. Nice, clean park. Operators were friendly, and VERY watchful. We would stay again here over other parks in area. They could use a gameroom for the kids... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed at this park for eight days, and were very pleased with our stay. Very well kept facility, many trees, owners play very active and interested role. Laundromat very clean, close to the toll road making it easy to get around. Very quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our second time at this park. We were here the week before they closed for the season. The owners were cordial. The pull through sites are very close together. The campground is clean and nice and quiet. They ask you to deposit 10.00 for a passcard for the gate, which you get back when you leave. This campground is nice and just what you need when traveling, just not overly friendly IMO. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed at this park before. It is as close as you can get to Chicago. We stay here when visiting family. We don't spend much time at the park but just sleep in the rig. They really need to fix the road coming into the park. We came in just after a 2 inch rainfall. They helped us get to our spot and took our tanks up to the propane for us. They came back a few hours later to help us get Dish connection. They were very helpful and friendly. The site was level and in the shade. The park is away from all the interstates and in farm country....this is a good thing. We would stay here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Site where very small and pull though site had no shade. Our electric box was under the neighboring TT awning. Rest rooms where clean and staff was cordial but not nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park about an hour outside of Chicago. It is a country setting however housing developments are cropping up nearby. They seemed to have a lot of rules but were not draconian about enforcing them. We had a nice stay while visiting relatives in the Chicago area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very quiet, peaceful campground. The staff are very friendly and helpful, leading you to the campsite so you can pull through. We had a 50 amp site with sewer and water. The sites are gravel, as are the roads, but well marked and mostly level. Bike riding would be better if the roads were paved. We had decent TV reception, but not a wide selection of channels. The store is nice, as is the pool. We would come back again. We camped here in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites were extremely small. Nothing here to justify price as pool was not open yet. Charged extra for visitors that came only for lunch. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for one night on our way to the east coast. The park was well maintained, has large sites, and also had a fair amount of shade. Since we were traveling with our dog I must note that it was very pet friendly. It had a nice dog walking area that people obviously respected and picked up after. It was a nice place to spend a night, and if we needed, even longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great campground. It has a security gate which made us feel very safe. The owners were friendly and helpful. They had all sorts of neat information for when visiting Chicago. The mini golf is great for the kids and they had banana bikes too. Great fun! The wifi worked great and was free! We will camp here again in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Seemed nice but the septic hookup's were in the neighbors site, right in the middle of their site , they would rather have the hook ups than care about the campers site use. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice location about an hour out of downtown Chicago via one of their many tollways. It's location is away from the tollway on a secondary road that is very peaceful. I expect you would only here some road noise if you are at the front of the park and this area seems reserved for tent camping and tent trailers. This park is next to a Wild West Town attraction but you only here a small train whistle during the day as the park is only open 10 am to 6 pm. The entry drive is only wide enough for one rig at a time so you have to be alert when coming in and out of the park. Park sites were reasonably level with a few trees, all cut out of the way. My only complaint was a very metallic flavor and scent to the water. I would recommend using your water filter here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We traveled here in a 31' fifth wheel in June of 2005. The facility was nice and clean, the employees were very friendly, but the sites were painfully small. This place is receiving updates under new ownership. Hopefully they cut the number of sites in half so people aren't parked awning-to-slideout. We enjoyed the local attractions so we didn't take advantage of daytime activities at the campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had the place pretty much to ourselves, which was nice. There is some road noise as it sits on a country highway. Grounds very clean, as were the baths, and everything was in good repair and looked great. Pool looked nice, but we didn't use it. Owners keep sharp eye on the place and it shows. It's about an hour train ride into Chicago and makes a good base for sightseeing. We would return. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Sites are very small, little privacy. Bathrooms were clean but needed some repair; we walked to the farther-away BR as it was new and in good shape. Separate areas for tents, popups and hard-sided units; large shady playground. Next door to Wild West Town and near RR museum, so there are fun things to do close by, despite being out in the country. We've been here a couple times when we couldn't get reservations in nearby state parks; ok in a pinch but not a place we'd choose to spend much time. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very nice, clean campground in Northern Illinois. The only drawback is the very limited
amount of full hookup sites. Very helpful staff and nice activities for the kids. Next door to a wild west town which can be mildly noisy during the day
but otherwise fun. We will go back again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
