Great alternative to staying in expensive Hotels....2 nights weekend rate only $98.00. Great shower house, and camp sites are nice. Camp here, then it's just a 1 hour drive to Chicago! Check in was easy, and the guy working was very helpful. Pack of Cub Scouts were camping down the way.

Appreciative for a place to stay but better for tent camping- not great for RVers and not well maintained for the RV side. The spots are blindside backins and the weeds and shrubs are overgrown making it really difficult to back in to our spot. There’s also railroad ties so you have to be very specific backing into your site and with the random obstacles of overgrown bushes, railroad ties, and a post with a metal hook that clearly has been hit and bent open, it makes it really challenging. We scratched our car 10” trying to unhitch. They mow the grass but don’t weed whack. I literally cut the weeds around the railroad ties with scissors because they were a foot tall in some places. The bathrooms were TERRIBLE. We always brought our own toilet paper. The one sink clogged in the ladies room and the other one didn’t work. It was also unnecessarily dirty. I actually brought in my own cleaning supplies and cleaned the sink and mirror myself. The shower was barely usable. The one stall had a trickle and was dirty and the handicap stall was bigger but It clogged immediately and there was no place for the shower head to hang on. It was resting on the bar. We used our planet fitness membership for the shower after a workout instead. It’s electric only but there is a hose you can ask the office for to fill up your tanks if you want. You can dump at Camp bullfrog which is 20 minutes away. You’ll be sad when you get there that you didn’t book that location as it feels way more like camping than this place did. I’m glad for a place to stay, but it was definitely more geared towards group tent camping and the RV sites seem like an afterthought. Also if you plan to leave and return after 10pm you need to call to have someone let you back in. Which is fine but was a surprise it was locked every night

Lovely, clean campground/cabins for rent. The bathhouses are spotless and the bunk houses are very comfortable. I rented several of the bunk houses with a large group (50+) and we had a great time. The kitchens are great but do bring your own utensils/pans. Linens are also not provided in the cabins/bunk houses. I also rented an RV site. It was narrow but long enough for a good picnic table/chair area. The site coordinator, Rod, was incredible and helped us book the site and answered our million questions. He was quick to answer emails and phone calls. All around, everything here has made our anniversary party amazing!

Not a well maintained park. Grass around the RV site hadn't been cut in some time and weeds were encroaching the firepit and table affecting use. The picnic table had a large hole in it. Toilet paper dispensers were missing as was toilet paper.

No dump station at this campground. Camping guests are directed to dump at Camp Bullfrog. I looked briefly for potable water but didn’t see or ask as I’d filled up at home.
