Went during October. Lots of activities for the kids. Camp site decoration competitions each weekend (for Halloween). Trick or treating, hay rides, etc. Fire wood delivery to the site. Bathrooms are clean. Cabin was nice. Had heat and AC if needed, a mini fridge and electricity.

We stayed here in a 5th wheel, our site had a fire pit, a dog pen and flower box. The park was decorated for Halloween. The park is clean and has a great playground with plenty of things for kids to do. They also have a mini golf course as well. Bathrooms and showers were clean and maintained. We would definitely stay here again.

We recently stayed for one night. The staff are friendly. The location while remote from many things to do around the Chicago area except for the train museum is quiet. Unfortunately as others have commented the water is brownish and smells of rust. It’s likely iron from rusting pipes that while not necessarily a health risk is not something that’s palatable to most. Definitely didn’t drink it. We fortunately travel with jugs of water just in case we find issues with water at campgrounds. Because of the water we won’t stay again nor recommend it to others.

Stayed in a “Rustic Cabin”. It was nice to have the AC on the humid days we stayed. Lots of activities for kids. People staying at other spots were very kind. Staff was helpful and quick. The only reason for only 4 stars is that the pool definitely could use a few updates, due to peeling spots on the pool walls. Would definitely come stay again.

Brought my kids here camping for their first time and they had a blast! The grate to cook on over the fire pit was good enough to cook on after cleaning it, heating it, and oiling it. The bathrooms are clean and are checked on a schedule. The pool looks nice, especially for a campsite, however, it was early in the season so it was cold. The text message system for wood delivery and other items from the store is nice. They had activities for the kids and we all had a nice time! It is gated. The staff is cruising around often and the grounds are clean and well maintained. I will go back for sure! Bravo to the KOA staff for being friendly, helpful, and keeping the place tidy.

Not sure how one rates a campground for rooms! I guess maybe if you did the cabins. We did not. Stopped one night on our way to Wyoming and again on the way back. Bathrooms were clean, the small trailer sites were perfect for our needs. Would definitely stay again if passing through or staying to see the sites.

Friendly staff and well kept property. Location is near Union, IL, which has a cute downtown and a train museum. Price isn't too bad for full hook up pull through. Each spot has a picnic table and fire pit as well. There is also a well stocked shop with fun souvenirs and essentials you may need.

I've stayed here with my family a couple times now and had a great time. We brought our 21' travel trailer and enjoyed all the activities for the kiddos on the weekend. The staff is very friendly and attentive. And being able to text them and have firewood and ice delivered directly to our site is a nice perk! Definitely recommend and will stay here again. Family friendly and an easy drive from Chicago!

This is a great campground. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and lots of activities for the kids. We stayed a week while also visiting family in Chicago. It is a bit of a drive to get into Chicago - and we found it easier to drive 50 minutes to the Edgebrook station (Milwaukee NW train to union station) to get downtown rather than driving to Woodstock and taking a 2 hour train. The entry driveway is a little tight so be careful entering and exiting that there isn’t another rig in the way!

We stayed here in a travel trailer so keep that in mind when you read my review. Our first impression was a good one when we pulled into the park. As you enter you can see that the campground is well taken care of. We were greeted by an attendant who looked up what site we had and then had another employee escort us to the site. We stayed in a pull through site that was level and the hook up all were in good order other than the sewer hook up was a little far away from us and I did not have a long enough sewer hose to reach it. The campground also has a kid park that was decent, a very nice pool that was very relaxing. The campground also has games you can play, activities on the weekends such as movies and hay rides, and they also have bikes for rent. This is not to mention a fairly well stocked campstore. The showers were clean and free. The bathrooms also were clean and well taken care of. The campground also does have free wifi but it was very slow so don't expect a whole lot from it. Overall this was a great stay. We had a fun weekend at a nice park.

My little girls first time camping and she enjoyed it sooooo much. The staff were super friendly, the lady who works here and only lives 10 minutes away but stays on the camp was out of this world amazing!!! She catered for my little girls allergies and went above and beyond what I would ever expect. The camp was super clean and tidy. To other reviews I do agree that some equipment is a little older and slightly run down but it is all functional and has no negative effects on the fun you can have as a family!! Everything is inclusive so yes things are a little older but you are paying $40 for a night and you don’t have to pay for the facilities, in comparison to great Wolf lodge with the amenities it is $300 a night cheaper. I will definitely return it was great fun! Set your expectations reasonable it is superior value!

Above and beyond. This was our first time here, but won’t be our last. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful. While although the office was closed due to COVID, they have text direct to staff and everything we needed was delivered within minutes to our site and simply charged to the card on file. Being first time campers with small children we thought we were prepared, and were wrong! The staff helped get our fire started, and going, and even lent some of their personal equipment for breakfast. Tons of activities for the family, clean restrooms, and well maintained throughout. Thank you so much for the great memories!

This is a VERY NICE KOA! It's laid out really great with lots of pull through sites. Super clean with lots of kid stuff for the little ones.

Some of the amenities can use an upgrade or repair (jump pillow, miniature golf) but they still had plenty of other things to do and fun activities for the kids. We all really enjoyed the "all you can eat" ice cream social. The kids loved the scavenger hunt and the nighttime flashlight candy hunt. We had one of the narrow sites but it was bigger than we'd expected and we were to set up everything very comfortably. The main reason for the 5 stars though is because of how friendly, attentive, and helpful the staff was. Just a great bunch of people who looked like they really liked their jobs. It was our first time here and we'll definitely be back!
