Quiet, well-maintained, impeccable hosts

We stopped here for a night on both ends of our trip to Southern Illinois. The campground was recently turned into a KOA. The new owners made significant improvements, including a brand new shower house, new playground equipment, mini golf, pool, and laundry. The grounds are lovely and well-maintained and the location is super quiet and peaceful. There was a pretty little pond and a dog run. Plenty of pull-through sites and FHU options, as well as cabin rentals. The hosts were delightful and really accommodating. Will definitely return!

Top notch

Clean grounds, nicest bath house I’ve seen at a camp ground, hands down. Deluxe patio site on the ends nearest the pond are preferable. The regular sites may be considered a bit cramped by some standards. All fire pits seem to have grill grates. Deluxe sites additionally have a grill and large concrete patio. Highly recommended campgrounds. We’ll be staying here and other KOA sites again.

Excellent experience.

Very nice campground. Convenient location right off route 74. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back! Grounds are well kept, everything was clean and convenient. We will definitely be back every summer. Owners are so nice and accommodating. We love this place.

Nicest people

Nicest campground owners / managers we have ever encountered. Such lovely people and the campground is immaculate. Hiking trail was a huge hit with our dog and kids and we even saw what we think was a little blue heron (much more elusive than the great blue heron) in the pond. The sites were too close together for our liking (we generally boondock but needed hookups for the night so probably just not the right choice for us).

Convenient and really well maintained. Great place for travelers with pets.

Right off highway 80 we stopped in for the night on our way out West and wound up staying 2. Very clean park with lots of shade. Spaces are a bit close together but the grounds make up for it. There's a huge amount of green space surrounding the campsites and even a fishing pond on site. Our dogs loved the GIGANTIC dog area. Lots of grass to run off their energy. Full hook ups at a reasonable nightly rate.

The owners were very kind and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend.

Perfect location when traveling

My Husband were traveling to Montana and this campground was right off the freeway. The grounds are well maintained and the hosts were amazing. They helped you get to your site and get lined up. All sites are pull thru with full hookups. The grounds have lots of mature trees so shade is plenty. There is a very large area to walk your dogs and they have centrally located pet disposal can. They have a pond which was nice to walk the dogs around. I liked that the campground was quiet as we went to bed early in order to get an early start the next day. Keep in mind there are no showers which for us wasn’t an issue but some people might not have that option. We will use them again for sure!!

Love this campground

When we first got to the camp ground you can see a decent sized pool and greeted by the host with great hospitality with a nice sized shop with essential items you might need plus stuff for the camper if you forgot it. There’s a stocked pond with fish with a hiking trail threw the forest. All spots full hookup. And pull threw host leads you to the spot and helps you get lined up. Every spot has a tree on it so there’s tons of shade. Camp was always quiet. They have mini golf and cabins on site as well.
