This was an amazing, private campground right on the river. There is no management office, bath/shower house, or general store. There is nobody on site, but that's the way we LOVE to camp so it worked for us. They were even kind enough to leave our water on a little longer after the season had ended. It's really close to a city park and walking trail. We will be back, this campground is definitely a keeper for us.

Great functional campsite. wide spaces. If you are a big rig make sure and get one of the spots that you can pull through on the grass.

We tried multiple times to cancel our reservations but they were not cancelled. Rover pass site kept sending an error message each time. So sadly, we were charged for a stay that we did not attend.

Things were very pretty quiet while we were staying here, not many other campers, a few were either there overnight passing through or stayed for a couple of days to rest then moved on. I assume this place would be busy in the summer time with the river right there. Lots of locals using the boat ramp but wasn't a bother since it is before the campground. On the second day there was a storm and the electric was knocked out but I called and by the end of the day it was fixed, not their fault but glad it was resolved quickly. Other than that all hookups worked great (full hookups at each site), water pressure was good. Sites have typical to good spacing between each one. River created a nice setting, grass seemed to be well taken care of. Airforce base nearby so there were some helicopters that flew overhead but not an everyday occurrence. The highway 13/15 is close by so you get some road noise but it also provides convenience since the town is small and if you need provisions Freeburg is close by, has laundromat and grocery store. If we come through this area again we would definitely camp here again.

Functional site. Full hookups, fire pits. No picnic tables. Easy to get in to spots when empty. If the park was full there is no way we could have gotten our 44' 5th wheel into the spot.

Fantastic family centered place! I would definitely come back again! No sewer hook up at sites, but full 50amp and water. They have a great playground, private lake for fishing, and a swimming beach.

I've been here for 3 weeks and have atleast that to go. So far, everthing has been great! Grass is maintained well. I see a police patrol car patrolling the area every once in a while. Which is nice. Only complaint is the pvc sewer hook up sticks up too far out of the ground causes some difficulty while dumping gray and black water tanks.

just the bare basics---would be nice if the city could have an employee go thru park and talk with the campers every other day The park really needs a bath house and picnic tables at each site

Turns are WAY too tight for big rigs. 3 insanely tight turns, lined with giant rocks that force you to inch forward and backward til you squeeze through. No office or check in or anyone to ask questions or for help. The place is pretty and utilities were fine. But the poorly designed hairpin turns left us stressed and frustrated.

Nice campground with a nice view of the Kaskaskia River But we made reservations during the music concert and after 11 am that day we could not get to our camping spots because they closed off the entrance I had reserved 3 spots and with 2 cars to be parked at each spot, I would like to have my money back due to this issue

It was a horrible experience. I spent my morning loading up. I got there at check in time. They refused to let me enter because a band was setting up. I was told I would get a refund but no one will return my calls.

Wonderful campground!! We weren't sure what to expect as reviews were mixed but we noticed many were several years old. The owners have worked to update the place and it's very well maintained - there is a pavilion with several picnic tables as well (one review said there weren't any - I guess she missed the pavilion). Views are BEAUTIFUL, river is gorgeous and full of fish. Half of the skies have trees and shade, the other half are on a little peninsula and are open with new saplings planted (we stayed in the open area). We will absolutely stay there again.
