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.

I was EXTREMELY pleased with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and shower houses, always well cleans and tended. I was very expressed

Like all ACE campgrounds, well maintained and clean - sort of crowded but sites are reasonably private - many sites on water

Exactly what you'd expect from a campground/boat ramp...

1st camping experience and i don't think it could have been much better! SUPER clean, and well kept. Grass was freshly mowed. Showers/bathrooms were nearby and clean. We had a walkout tent site that was ~150' to our vehicle. There is plenty to do here: Kayaking, swimming in certain places, bike paths, mountain bike trails, hiking, archery range, etc. Plenty of tall mature trees to keep the sun off. Around 10pm it was nice and quiet with beautiful skies. Couple of small towns nearby for supply runs and visiting. We are already planning our next visit here. Very family and pet friendly place.
