Overall this is an average private park close to the interstate. The good part is it is far enough from the highway that you do feel like you're away from it all. The campground is set in some trees, but you don't feel like it in the camper. There seemed like a few long-term campers were there, and the music was very loud until past 11 pm. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a nice campground. Despite the trees, there's not a whole lot of privacy between sites. The owners were friendly. They had Karaoke one of the nights we were there, and our family had as much fun as if we were at a wedding! I felt the Karaoke should have ended sooner than 11 though since we have little ones. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We were not overly impress with this park. We were on our way home from Florida so it was only overnight and close to I-57. We arrived at 6 pm and the office was closed. You could not use a credit card since the office was closed so you had to use the night deposit with an envelope with cash. Had to use the intercom which was hard to understand since they were cutting down and trimming trees. It was muddy and soft. The rest rooms and shower was locked so you could not use them. There were only about 4 of us staying there. Never did see the owners. Will not stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed just before the July 4th weekend for six nights and loved it. The sites are well spaced and some have waterfront views. Although with being all first come first serve it's hard to get the ones right on the water, but we were able to (got there on a thursday AM). The shower house was clean and maintained. Trash was picked up several times throughout the day/evenings. The loop we were in had access to the lake nearby and a small beach so we were able to swim close by. There are two public beaches nearby also. The Campground is located two miles away from I-57 but it is easy to find. You are on the northern edge of Rend Lake. Being our first time here I would say we would come back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

All sites and roads were black topped. Well spaced. Nice big playground located by the large bathhouse. There are two other bathhouses. There bathhouses could be a bit cleaner. (this is why I did not give a 10) They have two hosts. The swimming area is located away from the campground. There is a nice bicycle path. This is a nice campground with veiws of the lake. We would make the trip again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I only reason I don't give this park a 10 is that it does not have full hook-up. However, it also has a lodge, cabins, boat rental, and a restaurant. All of these are clean and affordable due to that they are operated as state facility. Get there before Thursday afternoon to get your waterfront sites. Definitely worth your while stay here! We camped here in a camper.

The vast majority of the sites are large, paved back-ins with 30 amp power (central water and sewer). There are a handful of 50 amp sites. Lots of mature trees, so satellite access can be a problem. We were there during a very wet time of year, so the ground was pretty soggy and muddy in places. The ranger picks up your trash from your site each day. Not all sites are suitable for big rigs, but plenty were. A very attractive park, at an excellent price. We would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to stay! Large sites, lots of grass and trees. Deers, fox, quail, squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, lots of wildlife to view! Also have close by restaurants for good eating out! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The is a great state Park on Rend Lake! But there was water everywhere as two storms had just come thru the area. More rustic than most State Park now, as they had no water or sewer hookups, but the beauty of this park far out weighs that as far as we were concerned. Lots of trails for biking, hiking, horse back riding, etc. Sites were large and level especially the lakefront ones. There was grass every where with fire rings and tables. We will stay again for sure! We camped here in a Motorhome.
