Rating: 7 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: A nice little park in the middle of an Illinois corn field. There are trees, a pond, playground, tent sites and about 24 pull-through RV sites. The entrance and sites are gravel – not all are level front to back and across. To exit, you pull through your site onto the grass field around the back of other sites to the gravel road out. That is the only drawback for us because it RAINED and RAINED the 3 days before we left. That made the field very soggy. We and the owner determined that to drive across the field was not the best route out. Luckily, we had an empty site directly across and behind our rig. The owners’ staff assisted us with our exit so that any damage to the grass was minimal. Proximity to the location for the movie: Groundhog Day, Woodstock’s town square and environs, was a plus, as well. - zen_letitbe
This is a funky little campground set well off the road on a family farm. The pull through sites look like back in sites at first glance, but the idea is to pull in and face a large lawn area which is used to pull out. Staff is very friendly, the park is quiet, with a fair proportion of seasonal campers. There is a swimming/fishing pond, table and fire ring at each site, and decent room between sites. Wi-Fi works well, but there is a $2 daily fee for Wi-Fi. The park is close enough to Chicago for antenna TV reception. Some of the overnight sites may require a bit of work to level your rig, but I've seen worse. We would stay here again. - DrLewie

Although the spaces between sites is small, it has a beautiful little swimming lake and has lots of open space around it. It is set back from the road by a long lane. It is busy on the weekends with family campers, but during the week is very tranquil. The manager is very accommodating and helpful. Woodstock is a very quaint small town (the movie Ground Hog Days was filmed there) with a large Wal-Mart, and a town square. There was good Wi-Fi and we got an excellent Verizon signal on our cellphone. There is an small charge for Wi-Fi and electricity if you are on the weekly rate. - sunbadgers

Met the new manager and he is a very nice guy, and the staff was very friendly! Just a month after this campground flooded, it is in very good shape. We will definitely go here again. - Rono214
Very nice and quite large park. Signs said under new management and there's a fair amount of construction & renovation going on. Very friendly at the office. We only stayed an overnight while on the way to Minneapolis, but really liked the place. - Walt Bennett

When we arrived there was no packet but the gate was open to let school buses in, so we drove in. After we drove to the other end of the park we met a very nice man that said would help us. He called a woman and then led us to an Electric only site {we reserved a full hook up pull thru]. We told him we needed the full hook up site, another call to the woman and we received what we had reserved. The next morning when we were leaving at 10 am the gate was closed but were able to get out since it had a sensor. Stopped at office for receipt and office closed with no hours posted.
The park is mostly permanent and seasonal and seems to be well kept up. - 210george -

Pull-Thru SitesPool AccessBig Rig AccessPets AllowedWaterfront AccessTents AllowedReviews of Big Foot Beach State Park
Rating: 7 7 5 5 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This campground is fairly quiet, located near Lake Geneva, making it a great place to stay if you plan on checking out the local shops and restaurants. The "beach" part of the park is a good distance from the camp sites, about 1 1/2 miles. The beach is also very small, and about 10 people can make it feel very crowded. The campsites themselves are nice, but in need of a little TLC. Our fire pit looked like it had seen its best days about 20 years ago and I am not sure I would want to actually cook anything on the grate. Other than that the trees were cleared back from the spots and most of the sites weren't too bad for leveling. There are some sites where leveling could be a challenge. We didn't have any trouble in our 24' motorhome, but larger trailers and motorhomes might have some trouble getting into a few of the sites as the roads are narrow and some of the sites are also fairly narrow. Only about half of the sites have electrical hook ups.The only water I saw was at the bathrooms or near the camp host sites. The center of the campground has a nice shower house that is clean and well kept. The water is on a timer so you have to keep pressing the button, but it is free to use, so no big deal there. - Bogie71
While the staff was friendly and showers and bathrooms were clean, the campground itself is very tight. We have a 27' TT and it was very tight navigating the turns. There was another fender bender when we were there, its very tight, while some of the lots are very deep they are very narrow and hard to back into. I did not see any water hook ups, our site did have electric but not all of them do. There were a lot of tent campers which this park I think is designed for. The playground is a pretty good walk but is very nice. There is a beach but I would be very leery about taking kids as it is right on a main road through town. - thegermans
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Big Foot Beach State Park »We were SUPER frustrated with this place most of the time we were there. There ARE some good things about this place, so I'll start with those. Most of the sites are HUGE, like CRAZY huge which is great. Most of them are also heavily wooded which makes them nice and private, which is also good. Proximity to the beach is great, for the most part. It's a pretty solid hike from the campground to the beach. Took me about 15-20 minutes at a normal pace. So, that's about the extent of the good. On to the bad: The woman who checked us in was awful. One of these "all about barking out the rules, even though you didn't ask or have any intention of violating any of them" kind of people. ZERO personality. There was a guy there who was much nicer and seemed to be sympathetic to the treatment I was getting but seemed powerless to make corrections even though he was the one carrying the gun. :) The roads are paved but REALLY tight. I have a 35 foot RV and I'm REALLY glad we didn't tow the car this time. It was like a slalom course trying not to scrape trees on the road side (trade off for the nice wooded sites I know, but just say'n). I felt like I was trail blazing also with all the branches and limbs smacking my RV the whole way in and out. Only SOME sites have power, and are completely random as to which ones they are, so pay CLOSE attention when you book if you need that. The entire situation seems like its setup to discourage trailers/RVs (based on our experience and watching someone try to back in a 35 foot trailer - whew... I wanted to give that guy a beer when he finally got it parked, but alcohol isn't allowed in the park, so a thumbs-up sufficed). Although getting into many of the sites is REALLY hard, the sites themselves are HUGE. The showers are only open from 7am to 11pm which is frustrating, especially in the morning. So forget the early bird showers to beat the rush. Fire pits are rusted out and bent up but sufficient. That's all I got. - Brian Holmes

Rating: 6 8 9 7 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Just a so-so park. Primarily manufactured homes and seasonal sites. Several cars blasted past our site at an unsafe speed. Our transient site was grass and far from level. Bathrooms/showers are in the basement of the office building. Not dirty, but also not immaculate, being in the walk-out basement area, just felt rather damp and probably prone to mildew (an exhaust fan running would help). There are not many campgrounds in the area to choose from--definitely better than a Walmart parking lot, but a bit pricy for ammenities. - RagTopDay
Its all about location this park is the closest to our son's house that has full hookups - this is mostly a permanent and seasonal park with only a few transient sites We had a huge pull through site with a clear shot for our satellite dish on top of the MH - rr2254545

Rating: 4 6 7 2 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: There is a pool but they don't fill it. There is a playground but it's old and missing boards. There is a "kids barn" with activities which was a plus, but this is not a family friendly campground. The noise level is ridiculous & the seasonal campers are bad examples of how campers should behave. There are rules, but none seem to be enforced. There were many unleashed dogs, tons of people in the river when the rules state "no swimming in the river", there is a curfew for teenagers, but there were roving packs of them everywhere at all hours of the night, and there are quiet hours that everyone seems to ignore. We had to complain twice about the noise after quiet hours and to the owners credit, they did come out and take care of the loud people. The fact that anyone would loudly blast music at 1 AM and think that's OK, is ridiculous. This campground has a lot of potential, but you can tell that they just don't spend money on it. Everything needs remodeling and painting. The roads need paving and the bathrooms and showers need lots of work. Many of the toilets were clogged all weekend. The showers were old and we couldn't regulate the temp on any of them. It went from screaming hot to freezing cold within seconds. If you like to party and not be bothered with rules, then this is the place for you. If you want to camp with your family in a nice quiet campground, with nice facilities, then this is not the place for you. - MeMee4
Nice sized campsites here. The catch and release ponds were nice; but the bathrooms leave something to be desired. People were frendly and our stay was quiet. Overall we had a nice time. - Bob & laurel

Rating: 9 9 4 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I think we have found a new favorite Thousand Trails park. Pine Country is a gorgeous park and very well kept. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I drive a very large truck to pull my 5th wheel and I am always concerned about getting into and out of places without getting into difficulty. One of the staff took me around to see the roads and site. I had no problem with either. They assign sites here which is a little unusual for Thousand Trails parks but 90 percent of the sites are seasonal sites. All sites have 30 amp electrical service but there is an an expansion being built that will offer 50 amp service. Those sites should be open by July 1st. - KD7UCH
This park is 90% seasonal or annual visitors and hard to get a reservation. They assigned us to a spot and we were told to drive across the grass not thinking that it would be soft and we would sink. Two hours later the maintenance people were able to pull us out. The park is very quiet during the week and the people running it are helpful and very nice. They are building new spots which might help getting a reservation. Very quiet and roof top satellite and Verizon wifi worked well. - rolling homeless

Rating: 8 5 9 8 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park fills up on the weekends, when the Wild West amusement park next door is open. During park hours, you can enjoy (or not) the screams of kids, the fake gun battles, and the train whistle. It's a reasonable KOA. It seems pricey for where it is, a full hour from Chicago with no traffic via the tollway. The wifi worked better than some, and so did our T-Mobile service. There doesn't seem to be anything around so be sure you get what you need before you come. One more thing: the mosquitos are fierce. It was impossible to take the dog for a short walk without being swarmed. Everyone had smokers to try to keep them away. Not sure there's much the park owners could do about that but it made it impossible for us to sit outside at all. - Pull Toy
Not big rig friendly. Entrance/Exit road is single lane. Had to back out of our pull through site due to a clearance problem. Site not level. Stayed in a 44 foot motorhome towing. Good park for smaller rigs, however. - Ftharrisiii

Rating: 4 3 8 1 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Overpriced for mediocre, flooded campsite, road to site was flooded and full of big potholes. Would not recommend. - HollyLouise
We arrived around 9:30 when it was dark. We informed the office that we would arrive after they close but it wasn't a problem and we were situated right by the office which was good because it is close to showers. The poor review comes from 2 things: 1) the water is absolutely disgusting! It was so bad that when we went to get water for the dogs they wouldn't even touch it - mind you they eat goose poop and drink from puddles! At one point my husband was washing dishes and the odor was so bad I literally had to leave the camper or I would have vomited! Try taking a shower in that and you feel worse then before you took it. 2). When we could see the park in daylight it looks like a basic trailer park. Nothing redeeming about it. Lots of old "trailer trash" types of campers around. Showers were pretty gross. Place is in serious need of an update. $50 is way too steep for this place! Oh yeah - and if you want to cook out bring your own fire grate - our "ring" had nothing. - Stacey Painter
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lehman's Lakeside RV Resort »(Rate based on a monthly stay and includes extra electricity charge.) There sure are a lot of negative reviews about this place. Thankfully our stay was apparently much better then most.
We stayed for a month and got a great spot with full hook-up and clean power. The water was well water and did smell, but all the water in the area is like that. On check-in day, we called to verify the time we could arrive. We were told the wrong time but the office staff went out of their way to get us checked in early so we wouldn't have to sit and wait for hours. We found the staff and groundskeepers to be very friendly.
We didn't use the bathrooms, showers or laundry, nor did we opt for the cable TV. The internet was typical for campgrounds, not very good. On-site propane is a HUGE plus!! Some of the roads are bad, but we simply avoided those.
If I could change one thing it would be that they don't accept credit cards. You also have to pay by cash or check and give a separate electric deposit upon arrival, from which they deduct your electricity use and mail you the balance in the form of a check. Our arrived a full month after we left. I'd love to see them move into the 80s and get a credit card machine. All in all, our stay was very pleasant!! - Julie and Ray -

Rating: 8 9 6 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a nice state park close to the Illinois/Wisconsin border with easy access from I-90. The camping loop that we stayed in was pretty open, with a lot of spaces really close together (great for groups). The other loops we walked through, Staghorn and White Oak seemed to have some sites with a lot more seclusion if that is what you are looking for in a campsite. The park is a nice size with plenty of forested hiking and biking trails. There is also a lake in the center of the park with boat ramps. Lots of kayakers and fishers here so I would guess the fishing is decent, but I didn't get a chance during my stay. The park is close to I-90 so at night when it quiets down there is some traffic noise if the wind is right, but at the campground it was not bad at all. Also a bit of light pollution in the area from nearby Rockford and Loves Park, but still some nice stargazing is possible. The bathrooms were cleaned daily. The camping loops also offer a shower house which was in good shape. Spread out around the campground are also the standard Illinois State Park pit restrooms, not the greatest but there when you need them. - Bogie71

View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Rock Cut State Park »Snow camping at it's finest. - only electric available. We needed an overnight stop on the way to warmer weather. There had been recent snowstorm in the area so called ahead to make sure they would be open for camping. They confirmed they would be open and were in the process of plowing the roads. They explained the process for self-check in, that only one section would be open and that the entrance is off 173 (note that google maps is wrong). This is a huge park and the camping is quite a drive into the interior of the park. While the interior roads were plowed very well, the campsites were not. Other than a few folks walking their dogs, we were the ONLY people in this state park. Only 2 sites appeared to have been previously plowed. We were able to unhook our toad, shovel out the electric post and back into one site through 5" of snow. Oh well, nothing like making memories! - Nautical Wheelers
