We stayed here for a week for bow hunting and had a great stay. The park is beautiful, with lots of hardwood trees and decorative statuary. Each spot has its own fire pit and the park sells bundles of wood to use with them and the Ace Hardware 5 minutes down the road refills propane tanks. The owners are welcoming and very responsive to issues, and even refunded some of our pre-paid second week after we had a health emergency. The only drawback was the noise from the chickens and ROOSTERS! (our spot was right next to the coop, so the noise might not be an issue farther away from it). Overall, a great stay in a pretty place.

We were only passing through, in after dark and leaving early morning. We asked for a pull-through so we didn't have to unhook. They provided us with the perfect site. Right at the front, close to the very clean bathroom/showers. Site was level and park was very quiet for a good night's rest. I did chuckle that we were a small, 21' travel trailer parked in between two beautiful class A's. But, that simply showed how much care they took in giving us the perfect site. Will definitely return if we pass that way again.

We stayed overnight in one of the pull through sites. It was plenty long for our motorhome and towed vehicle and was fairly level. The interior roads are easy to navigate and are all gravel. Everyone seemed to go the 5 mph through the campground which was a pleasant surprise. There are a lot of tall mature trees that provide some nice shade on a warm day. You have to take a walk around the campground and check out the tree carvings. They are really good! Nice lady checked me in when we arrived. I would stay here again!

We spent a month traveling across the country, and this was one of our favorite stops. They were able to get us in at the last minute. The site was perfect, and the pool was wonderful! Swimming in the evening surrounded by fireflies is now a core memory. The facilities were clean, and the laundry room & showers were perfect. I didn't have change for laundry, and it was well after office hours. The owners saw me wandering around, opened up the office and made change for me, and we had one of my favorite conversations of the whole trip - they were just fabulous. I wished we could stay for more than our quick over-night.

This is a nice quiet campground. Easy access off of the expressway. It is laid out so that there are plenty of sites for all campers, whether trailer pull, 5th wheel or motorhome. No tenting or sleeping in your car. They have plenty of pull throughs and back-ins. For summer months there is a 'salt' water pool to cool off in. There is laundry, clean bathrooms, dog run and one cabin. Perhaps a claim to fame is a 'chicken barn and run' and great tree carvings. There is a 'small' camp store. Rend Lake is close by. We camped in 28' Jayco trailer, and one camp here again.

Beautiful, quaint campground. Well kept grounds and friendly owners. We were having troubles with a tow vehicle and the owner was more than willing to help out. We enjoyed seeing the chickens and various wood sculptures throughout their campground.

This is our third time stopping overbite going to and from Wisconsin. Wisconsin this campground was nearer ourhome Georgia, we would come here often. Staff is so accomidating, everything is simple and Annie (our pup) dragged my wife to the dog park while I was setting up today. Also, easy on and the Interstate with out being close enough to hear the trucks.

Great campground, lovely owners, cute store, cool pool and level sites. What more could you ask for. Stopped here for the night on our way North. Husband parked easily, lots of grass to play on and did laundry until midnight. Would return again if in the area.

Great spot! Nice and level. Reasonable price. Propane fill. A great store with everything you may need....really delicious pickled goods and if you are a meat lover, then you gotta check out the Mennonite meat freezer that the farm right down the road keeps stocked inside the store. I'm snacking on the jalapeño- cheddar stuffed pork sausage. Crazy delicious! And the folks working the park: super friendly. A really relaxing spot to pull off the highway.

We just left Whittington Woods Campground today after a 2 month stay. We can’t say enough about our wonderful time spent there. A very clean and well maintained campground. Lots of very mature oak and hickory nut trees. Fun to see the chickens and ducks wandering around. Eggs given away for free. A number of cats have made their home at the campground and are well cared for. The owners were very friendly as were the staff. We would recommend Whittington Woods to anyone. Very easy access from Hwy 57. Thank you to everyone at Whittington Woods Campground!!

The owners can’t make this any easier! This is a great stop for us driving from Arkansas to north Illinois. We’ve camped here for a few days to meet family halfway as well. Fair price easy directions after hours to campsite. Love this place! Beautiful chainsaw carvings!!
