Narrow access roads, interior roads gravel. Pull-through sites were long enough to not unhook, but we needed a block to level. There were many permanents and a nice playground. The bathhouse was old and in need of work. This is a good spot for an overnight if one is self-contained. We did not choose to use any facilities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a real campground, not an RV Park. It's located off the same exit as a state park. Take the state park exit near Cloverdale and follow the Blackhawk signs, it's well marked. Good spacing between sites. The full hookup sites aren't really in the shade, but have trees behind them, so they get shade in the afternoon. They also have some primitive, water only, and water/electric sites, but I didn't get to check them out. There are 19 full hookup sites. There is a laundry, but I didn't get to check it out. Nice place for an overnight. Wilderness Cafe just down the road a bit, good food. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was FILTHY. There were dirty diapers, beer bottles, cans, all sorts of
trash scattered EVERYWHERE, even our fire ring had to be cleaned out because of trash. There were alot of loud campers. This is a shame, because this could really be a nice place to camp, if only they wouuld keep it clean. The campsite that we had was pretty small. (Definately a tent-only site)! The bathrooms and showerhouses were dirty as well. We will NOT go back there unless there are improvements to the park (clean it up)! People, PLEASE leave your campsite cleaner than when you arrived!!! We camped here in a Tent.
We stayed here overnight while traveling. The office was closed when we got there (8pm) and was not open by the time we left around 7:30am, so we never saw any staff. There was a self-pay system. The campground had an awful sewer smell in some places, we never could figure out where it came from. There was a pond, but it was covered with brown film. The garbage cans around the campground were overflowing. The hook-ups were inconveniently placed, so you have to run a long water hose...we never hooked up and didn't trust the water. The bathrooms were fairly clean. We would not stay here again. It might be OK if you were in a pinch, but I would rather stay at a Wal-Mart. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly people, they helped us into our site. Because it was off the Interstate a mile or so, it was very quiet. The bigger sites are wide enough for a four slide motorhome, but may not have worked in some sites. good grassy area for a pet to run around. A good stop over when heading across I-70 in Indiana. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The single lane intrance is a pain. I had to swerve to miss oncoming traffic. Water and Electric were on the correct side of my unit, but I had to run the sewer hose about 40' under my trailer. There were big black dogs wondering around the park, I don't know if they were mean or not. The water was brownish-orange and smelled like eggs, I think it came out of the pond. The owners were nice and helpfull though. I would stop again if I had to. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
All of the other reviews are right on. Wished I had read them first. Stopped here while on the road and tired. Dog crap everywhere, barking all the time. Couldn't find proper hookups, Very dirty. Could not see the water in the pond because of scum. Narrow access roads with low trees. Next time I'll keep driving. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Previous reviewers in 2002 were right on money. Extra comments: Sites are unreal--water and electric one side, septic hookups, if you can find them, on other side 40 feet away. Road I tried to take to the site we picked out on night deposit ,we could not make the turn and had to unhook toad and back up and take another road to site. The dogs constantly barked and growled at me while i tried to figure out how to hook up, finally went in the wrong way to be able to reach water and electric hookups for my rig. I tried to take our puppies out this morning on leash and their three dogs immediately went after us. They might not be vicious but they sounded that way. I didn't bother to check the rest of park cause I am getting out of here as soon as I can get around. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean and friendly park. Restroom and showers where some of the cleanest I have seen at a campground. Could use more hot water in the showers. Lake was covered with moss, would be hard to fish. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The Cloverdale RV Park is beautiful! There's a lake where you can fish, trees for shade, it's wonderful. It's a great family place. They keep it very clean; the people are the friendliest people you will ever meet. They even have a church there! Unity, Faith, and Fellowship church; I loved it there. A wonderful little church. I'll definetly be going back!! Excellent! We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Unless you enjoy the smell of raw sewage, do not camp here. They have a quaint covered bridge with a creek running under it and that poor creek reeks of sewage. Its a shame because the park is pretty with lots of big shade trees but the sites are unorganized with hard to read site numbers, dogs are constantly running loose and the bathrooms are not the best. They were clean enough to use but not unless you had too. Not sure about the price either. Went to check online but their website did not list the prices. I would highly recommened going down the road about 10 minutes to Hickory Hills campground. They have a really pretty place and the people are so nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a run down place. Access roads in are very narrow and poor. Owner/manager had three dogs running loose even in office and laundry room so other dog owners were also letting dogs run about off leash. And people were not picking up after their dogs and dog crap was all around. We camped here in a Motorhome.
