    The entire park is well maintained and groomed. Nice paths to walk along. Facilities are very nice, only downside is there is no pool.

    Well, I have to say it is a beautiful campground! Well manicured, Scenic, laid out nicely. Sites are a little tight, intermixed with big old oak trees! Several seasonal homes/trailers here, but beautifully maintain and landscaped! A beautiful walk along the river. Even a small “beach“ for swimming in the river.

Several seasonal homes/trailers here, but beautifully maintain and landscaped! A beautiful walk along the river. Even a small “beach“ for swimming in the river. Ultimate camping experience! That is until 2 AM. Nearby Rockford airport has a very large UPS and Amazon hub there. The night we were there, UPS had 23 flight scheduled from 2 AM to 3:12 AM. And naturally we heard one take off every seven-ish minutes. The wind was from the west, so of course we heard them as if they were taking off in our bedroom! I checked with the cargo dispatchers and they say yes that is a regular schedule. Unfortunately, despite all the beauty and great camping that we enjoyed, we will not be going back.

Nice little playground for the grandkids with mini putt though we did not play. Really nice open grass area behind the site. Views of the Kishwaukee river were nice. There was lots of rain and mosquitos though. Sites have the usual gravel base that were just barely big enough for our rig. Some sites had some mud though no one got stuck. Some sites are clear enough to get satellite tv. Ours had too many trees. Cell was a little spotty and data was “extended”. The campground did have free wifi though it was the usual “campground” speed. Guests that visit are required to pay $2.00 per person to visit. Full hookup was nice though no cable. Air TV did work well. We will visit again.

    Large well kept campground. Friendly staff. Beautiful scenery everywhere you look alongside the river. Sites are grassy and may have issues with soggy ground due the amount of precipitation this area gets. Beautiful nighttime sounds with chirping frogs. Bathroom and showers are marginal. Our site was water/electric pull-through

Some of the nicest seasonal sites I've seen - back up to the river and all very neat and well landscaped. Level sites, good FHUs with 50 amp. Good water pressure.Nice open space for events they have every weekend in the summer - fun and friendly staff and campers. The only ding is the sites are close together on the sides. It helps that there is nice open space in front and back, but awnings would touch if both were out in the facing sites.The park is at the end of the road and at the bottom of a small, tree lined drive. Daunting the first time you approach, but really easy access.We had good coverage for our MiFi, park WiFi didn't work for us.
