This campground is very family friendly with tons of yearly activities and special “weekend’s”. Check out the schedule before you book, you won’t be disappointed! Tent/RV/popup/camper with all the amenities of home.

We have gone twice, we truly love this place. Donna front desk was amazing offered to use her golf cart to give us extra light while we had to pack up at night to leave since we were having a family party early the next day. They also gave us Buds Island when a customer cancelled there reservation. What a treat that area was. Everyone there is friendly not just staff but residents as well. Also really nice activities for kids and adults. Nice playground.

The campgrounds is very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We booked for over the 4th and was told they were full but they booked us on a little used site. The day we came in we were told that a pull through spot had opened up. The staff took us to both spots on their goft cart. And let us pick our place. They have loads of activities on the weekends, and everyone is welcome. One of our weekends included a free will donation pig roast. With bingo after. Food trucks, craft show more bingo and kids Bible school along with Sunday service and potluck were also available. Three things that I was concerned about was the smoking at the pavilion. As non smokers we didn't appreciate that. The other was it seemed that some the goft carts went faster then 10 miles. The bathrooms though very clean the showers could use some upgrades, (very small). Over all this campground is a solid 10 out of a 10. And it's close enough to other activities like Starved Rock. A great ice cream shop in Mendota and don't forget the train museum in Amboy.

This wasn’t our first time staying at Mendota hills and it certainly will not be our last. When we arrived, my husband had some concerns that his truck would rub on our camper when we had to turn around to go to our site. A couple of gentleman that I’m positive own/work there came over and graciously offered to hook their truck up and pull our camper to our site. Super helpful!!! I felt welcomed at every single interaction with every worker and person there. The Mother’s Day activity was adorable and bingo was a blast as always. It seems like they are actively expanding their facilities and offerings while still maintaining very reasonable rates. Thank you for such a wonderful weekend!!

This was our first time at Mendota Hills and it was a great weekend! With our arrival on Friday night, we were greeted by friendly staff and check in was fast and easy. We purchased firewood and it was delivered to the site as we were guided to the site. We really like the cement pad on the pull thru sites and we’re set up in no time. Everyone around the camp grounds were friendly and it was a beautiful setting with the open fields and healthy lakes. There are great activities for everyone to enjoy and everyone seemed friendly and welcoming. Our son was quick to make friends and there was a lot of space to play and different activities to try. His highlights included the frog jumping contest, basketball knockout games, Bingo, volleyball and playing with other kids. The camp ground and showers are clean and quiet. We look forward to our next trip and making more memories as a family. Thank you Jamie, Michelle, Donna, Glenda, and John for your hospitality. See you again soon!

This place is amazing. My wife came across it from a Facebook group and we rented one of their campers in May. The kids (12 &10) loved it, and my wife and I found it relaxing. Friendly people, incredibly friendly and kinds staff. Fun activities, and even a church planted on the grounds. We fell in love with this place and just bought a seasonal camper there. I highly recommend a stay at Mendota Hills!

Love love love this place! Our family stays here together every year and have a great time. The setting is peaceful and quiet to be one with nature while still offering activities for those interested in participating. From fishing to axe throwing to archery to the frog jumping contest, there is something for everyone. If you forgot something just visit the quaint office/store where you can also grab a treat or rent a golf cart. It's wonderful!
