This is a great spot by the river. Met the owners one day who told us it went through a huge renovation after they bought it recently. They cleaned up all sorts of trash. You can't even tell. This place is well taken care of and the staff is very friendly and helpful! Rockford doesn't really have much going for it, but there's some beautiful hiking around this campground.

My wife and I came up for a free weekend. Daisia (Day) was our tour guide. She was fantastic. All the staff is very nice and helpful with any needs. Day answered all our questions and had a great sense of humor. The campground is very clean and the scenery is beautiful! We really enjoyed the weekend and look forward to many more visits in the future!

This is now a membership only campground. While it is in a great location, there is not a lot to do...yet. They say they are going to be adding a great deal to it in 2025. At this point, it is not a worthwhile option for us to join the membership.

Amazing site with VERY friendly staff. They were so flexible with us at check out during a storm. We stayed twice and had great experiences both times. Rockford isn't that great but it's so close to Chicago and Madison it makes for a great stay!

Rating this a 5 based on our RV stay. What a nice campground, surrounded by lots of shaded trees, and the Kishwaukee River in the back of it. Extremely friendly and helpful management, who cooked a great meal for everyone on Saturday! Lots yo do for the kids: playground, miniature golf, basketball, and volleyball courts, as well as Frisbee Golf! Internet isn't the best; but doable. Sites are gravel and level. Space in btwn can feel a little tight off your back side; but very open in the front facing your neighbor. We've definitely stayed in much tighter spaces in other places. We will definitely come back again to Blackhawk!
