It's been many years since I camped here with an ex. Rates were good for tent camping but bathrooms were cold and nasty. No hot water in the showers. Roads were too bad then. Didn't really get harassed but this place definitely wasn't the best to stay at. Wound up getting bit on my back by something while sleeping and got sick. Overpriced firewood bundles available but plenty of dead trees laying around. Definitely lackluster. It definitely is primitive camping but I can could get better peace and quiet somewhere else.

Only campers there were us and camp host. It was a good location. Very quiet. All gravel. Not level sites, but not unmanageable. Water and electric. Fairly easy to get to, a little confusing, but we found it. No traffic noise. Bathhouse needed the spider webs wiped out but were clean, needed an update. It was an overnight stop for us. Didn't even unhook from the truck. Our choice of over 50 sites.

I love this park! It has beautiful views along the Sangamon river. The park crews are housed here as well, and they are friendly and helpful when you have questions. Tom is the fella that will check you in, and he takes care to make sure your camping needs are met. I gave a 5 star review. Somebody should give Tom a hat with 5 stars on it!

Wow I read reviews and was very glad it was perfect for me! Family in hospital 10 minutes away! ... Close to lots of fast food & dining. There is a club with food down at the end of the road. No It's not a koa w/pool ($80+ per night) but plenty of space, shade & picnic tables. $25 per night! Very spread out. All shapes & sizes campers & tents. (Not payed anywhere ) Also the bath house is handicap with a code to enter. I felt safer at night. Well lit up

Avoid. Campground and facilities are not well cared for. The road to sites is crumbling and very hard to see at night. Our first couple days no electricity until maintenance could come out. Site management has weird vibes as do the guests they attract. Families cussing and yelling at their kids and hovering around your campsite. Overall disorganized and dirty, trash overflowing from dumpsters not being emptied, loud music from a nearby bar until late hours. We were hoping for a quiet nature experience, the only part of that we got was swarms of mosquitoes and sadly that was the hilight of our stay. There's better locations for campers in the nearby area. We moved sites and are much happier and comfortable.
