Beautiful and well maintained park that was great for an overnight stop. Gravel pull thru with full hook ups. Quiet, clean and safe.

One of the most beautiful sites at Rend Lake, always so well maintained by the stewards of the lake the US Army Corps. A true gem.

Our favorite campground in Illinois, everything in clean and well maintained, the tent sites (especially T-14 and T-08) are awesome. We love the lake and bike path.

We just got here and we like the place. Water and electric hookup. Right on the lake and on a very specious site. Most of the ACE campgrounds are very specious. The only negatives; does not have the full hookup (dump station on exit) and the sites are the most leveled. Otherwise, great place to stay in So. Illinois.

This was our 4th stay here for ten days and it was great! Beautiful trees and abundant wildlife, especially deer of all ages. Our dog was "skunked" on two previous trips, so beware of those stinky critters for your fur babies. Lots of hiking and just enjoying nature. We had #81 this visit and it was good. Fairly level and good view of Rend Lake. Our friends were in #82 had a great lake view, but site was absurdly unlevel. They had to purchase a fence post to prop under the tongue of the trailer and park diagonally. Spaces are well spaced and most had cement pads. They park is close to Benton for all your shopping needs. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.
