Prairie Pines Campground

We had a mishap with our truck. Our tire snapped off on the highway. I called the campground to tell them and we were told they could help us with towing our camper to the campground. They never did. Then we couldn’t get there that night because of the tire and when we explained this to the lady on the phone she said ok we’ll see what we can do. We never stayed. Never got a refund. Never received a call back with any update. Would not recommend to anyone. Very unhelpful in any aspect.

First off, we are weekenders. We don't travel and live in our travel trailer so that plays heavily into this review. This is the first campground in 10+ years of camping in multiple states that picks your site for you. Some sites are spaced nicely, but we had other folks placed pretty much on top of us. There are also street lights that light up everything; we had one immediately in front of us that kept our site, and our trailer, lit up all night. The layout of the place makes me wonder if it was once used as housing for the nearby - now decommissioned - Air Force base. On the plus side, I believe all sites are full hookup. The downside to that is when an electric-only site is all you really need for a weekend, you're still paying $40/night. We had no problems with water pressure, and the sewer connection was... well... a sewer connection. There are also shower and laundry facilities on site, but I can't comment on those as we had no use for either. Most sites appear level, and the grounds are mowed & tidy with a lot of mature trees. The hosts were friendly and allowed us to leave our trailer parked well into the afternoon on our check-out day due to a late soccer game. They even held onto my brand new Leatherman I foolishly left behind in our site until we were able to return to pick it up. We chose to stay here for a weekend soccer tournament rather than find a hotel, and could see doing the same in the future. It's fine as a travel stop, but not someplace I would necessarily choose for a getaway weekend.

Nice campground, big spaces lots of trees and fairly quiet. There is a small playground for kids and a ping-pong table in a room, which is kind of nice $40 for one night. They charge even if you don’t use them. There is one washer and dryer and four shower rooms. They are all up-to-date and clean.

Prairie Pines Campground Rantoul Illinois: This is s very low key and quiet campground.  This is NOT a resort and that's just fine for us.   The sites are gravel with a concrete parking area in front of them for your vehicle. We had a full hook up site and our water, electric and sewer all remained constant.  The WiFi is much less then stellar and we just gave up on it and used our Hot Spot. The one odd thing of note here is that to get to your pull through site you will follow the friendly fellow from the office with your rig up over a curb and on the grass possibly traveling behind other campers.   Having said that the sites are nice, level, wide and everything was clean and well maintained. Other features include a large bathhouse, pavilion and paved roadways.  They seem to be very dog friendly as well. All in all when passing through again we will be happy to stay again.

Quiet campground for an overnight stop or longer stay. Facilities are very clean and sites are well kept. Full hook up sites, gravel but mostly level.

This is a very good campground. Our site was level. The bathrooms and showers are so spacious and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The other campers were very pleasant. It's really convenient to have electric, water and sewer right at the site. Also the site is gravel (not the white dusty kind) to park your rig on and there is beautiful green grass all around. Also lovely trees filled with robins and song sparrows. They are dog friendly. It's very peaceful here at night. We got a good night's sleep. We will definitely be back.
