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.

An excellent over night site. Great rural CG for a few days to relax. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a really nice campground! It reminds me of a state park campground, but with full hookups. There are tall trees everywhere and lots of shade. The spots are long, packed gravel and pretty level. It is very close to I-57 but quiet and well worth the 15 minute drive from I-64. The owners are very friendly and have obviously spent a lot of time working on this campground. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a nice place to stop for the night. We have a 40' motorhome and were towing. Sites are big so you do not have to unhook. So nice to have such a friendly owner that enjoys her job. Very easy access to I-57. Pretty setting with grass and trees. A real pleasure! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access to freeway although it is QUIET. Beautiful setting.Lots of nice trees and grass with picnic tables,but still has bigrig access adequate for 40ft motorhome towing. Even though they do NOT have cable tv at this time they do have some sites where your rv satellite dish has reception (like ours did).New owners enjoy owning an rv park and act like it. They are friendly and responsive. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Whittington Woods Campground is another private campground that is being brought back to life by hard working new owners. Whittington Woods is a new name and its new owners have made dramatic improvements. The owners have brought grass back to the campground and restored a woods-like setting to the landscaping. They’ve put fresh gravel at site pads and reworked service hookups. All the services we used were excellent (Wi-Fi, water, sewer, 30 amp electric). Some sites are available in more open sections of the campground for big rigs and for satellite reception. Tent sites are also available. The RV sites were level, well graveled, and nicely spaced. Distances are a little bit long for some service hook-ups at some sites. An extra length of hose or cord for water, power, or sewer connections may be needed. We stayed at Whittington Woods as part of a rally event. The hosts were helpful and gracious as they worked with the rally coordinator and participants to make the event pleasant and successful. The new hand laid stone fire ring and the spacious pavilion are ideal for group activities in any weather. The bathhouse facilities were being upgraded and were clean and available. As we left, the new swimming pool had been completed and was being filled. The campground is easy to find at Exit 77 off Interstate 57 and about 1/2 mile towards Benton on Hwy 37. With the woods as a buffer, interstate noise was not intrusive. The campground has a great proximity to Rend Lake and the lake activities, to the Artisan Center, local wineries, antique shops in Benton, and events in Du Quoin, IL. We will definitely be return guests to Whittington Woods. The campground is a great destination place for rallies, family reunions, and social gatherings as well as overnight stops. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is now called Whittington Woods. It has been taken over by new owners and they are doing a great job fixing it up. It is a great campground to just spend the night or stay awhile. Pool is being overhauled. Easy on and off of I-57. Have stayed here many times in the past, but it is getting nicer due to the new owners. They are great and very helpful We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

Just an overnighter. Friendly owners, informative check-in with local attraction info, GSC 10% discount. Dirt and gravel roads and sites. Lots of shade from pine trees. Good hookups (30 amps for us). We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very disappointing. We were put by the odoriferous drainage field, despite the fact that the park was not full. The hosts blamed the smell on the wind direction and were not interested in moving us. We were there for only one night so we didn't argue. We will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park with mature trees that provide a canopy over the entire park. Great pool to relax in. Level pull through sites. Great park to pull off I-57 for the night and relax. Would stay again. Great owners. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful location with tons of trees (like camping in a forest). Very easy to get to from I57. Would be a 10 except: Hookups were very poorly placed (water and electric on right side rear and sewer on driver side 1/2 way to driver door). Had to park with rear hanging in the road. Also we had very loud (drunken) neighbors that were up well past the 11 pm quiet time (2 am) and up again at 6 am for breakfast. We'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Lots of trees. Some marginal drivers with larger rigs may find the roads daunting. Place was sparsely occupied, but voltage was low at our site. Nice store and manager. We would go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice facility that is a short distance from I-57. There is no traffic noise from either the interstate or the local highway. he park can easily handle the largest units without problems. The management is very eager to please the camper and maintains a clean, pleasant, and attractive facility. This is probably the finest facility in Southern Illinois. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The sites are very narrow, a good overnite park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Scenic, easy in/out. Very pleasant and quiet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
