Rolling Oaks Campground

My husband and I went here for our honeymoon and we enjoyed it. Check in was easy and the people working there were friendly. The only problem we ran into was that quiet hours weren’t enforced. Besides that, our site was clean and although there was no designated fire pit at the site, we made it work.

Very nice place!!

Nice little campground. Friendly folks.

This Campground is literally garbage. Don't waste your money.

The park is old, but the people running it are wonderful. My husband fell ill during our stay and they have been more than accommodating. It is not posh, but very homey and friendly. And quiet as well. You can hear birds almost all the time.

Campground was a bit disappointing. The sites are close together, the swimming pond was closed and covered in algae and the buildings/equipment are ancient. I believe at one time it mustve been a great place, but we got to lots of campgrounds and this one needs updates. For the price it was fine, but if you have kids go elsewhere. We paid for a daily pass at a nearby campground just to take the kids swimming, that is highly unacceptable. They should tell people on their site the pond is closed. Also, the water pressure was awful, our neighbors were having the same issues as us with their water.

Very family friendly place. Most of the campground is permanent sites so people take care of and are protective of the place. Has a good throw back feel- not like the modern “resort” campgrounds. No one ridiculous list of rules- basically be kind and respectful and you’re left alone which was awesome. I was bummed their swimming pond was drained and not in service but there is a boat launch right on the Fox River so we were able to swim there. Fun activities- a craft market, tye dye for the kids, bingo, dj at night and quiet hours were generous- midnight on weekends. Our pull through campsite has amazing electric box, sewage and water, but it was a new site this year so no Trees around, a tiny strip of grass between you and the other campsite and the grass really wasn’t established so it was mainly mud but there were many much nicer sites farther in that weren’t pull through sites that we’ll grab next time.

We stayed here over Labor Day weekend and probably won’t go back. We reserved a full hookup site and ended up with a pull thru site. The pull thru sites are newer as of 2019 I think and are about 10 feet apart. This is way too close. So immediately we were unhappy with our site. There’s no trees and they are kind of separated from the rest of the campground. After setting up I realized there were no fire pits in any of the sites. I asked the office and they said they had them but they “walked away” and we could make a fire on the gravel in front of our camper. Not ideal, but it worked I guess. Other reviewers have said the same thing about the fire pits a year ago. It rained pretty hard on our second night and the grass in front of our camper was a flooded. Every step was under water. One of the reasons we went to this campground was because they have a swim pond, which turned out to be closed and overgrown with almost no water. It looked like it hadn’t been open in at least a year. We planned on swimming most of the weekend so this left us with very little to do. And there’s no other planned activities for the kids. The campground itself has been around since 1969 and it definitely shows. There’s a lot of old, run-down campers and buildings here. The campground needs some updating. Most of the sites here are permanent and also need some upkeep. Bathrooms weren’t terrible, but some of the worst I’ve seen. Most of the campground slopes toward the river and gets pretty steep the closer to the river you get. So it’s not easy walking or biking around. Some positives. It’s on the Fox River so there are tube trips that you can take from here. People were friendly. The grounds, while old, are nice and established with lots of big old trees. Just not around the new pull thru sites. The price is lower than other campgrounds. We decided to leave a day early, which we’ve never done before. We’ve been to a lot of campgrounds and would have to put this at the bottom of our list.

I was very disappointed in my stay. The "pool" is not maintained. There was no "beach" to make sand castles. Purchasing firewood was close to impossible to figure out. But the absolute worst, "Quiet Hours" are NOT enforced. 2am and I was still awake due to the many children screaming and acting like fools. I will not waste my money here ever again.

I had a great experience. There was a storm, and the power was off leaving the restrooms useless. I would probably have had a better experience if there were a couple of actual outhouses, but other than that, we really had a nice time.

We've driven by many times but first time stopping. Bad thing is we knew there were two entrances, & missed the first & second one is permanently closed. Had to find a way to turn around with a 35' fifth wheel--not easy. We needed a pull thru camp site--those were all up front no shade--felt like we were on display for all seasonal campers. Every one was friendly & we walked around the campground and found it to be steep in some areas. We looked for other non seasonal sites but didnt find any. Was cheap compared to Yogi Bear--$80-$90. I can see us coming back if we only want one night.

The sight was ok but my arrival ruined it all for me. I followed signs to “store” to register. I prepaid but had no idea where to set up. The drive to the store included a sharp turn where a partially removed branch which I did not see, caused about $1000 worth of damage to my roof. All this to get me to the “store” which was closed. A worker who had earlier seen me lodged under the branched came by on a cart. When I asked, he knew nothing about my arrival but after clarification from me, he informed me he would lead me back to my site which it turns out I had driven past on my way in. Either you operate a campground or you don’t. It should not be half assed. I will never return and never advise anyone to go there. Shame on these owners. I should sue but I will let my insurance company make that decision.

Had a pull thru site. No campfire available-who goes camping without a fire? Very disappointing. New sod laid by the pull thru campers. The staff had water sprinklers on so you stepped out of your camper and it was under water!-plus it rained and they still left the sprinklers on! The water smelled like a sewer, it made you smell when you took a shower and your dishes!

Love Rolling Oak’s Family Owned campground

The people were really nice & friendly, both staff and the permanent campers there who stopped by our site to say hi. We stayed on the brand new weekender sites that were evidently just put in over the past month or so. There was brand new sod which was very nice although the sizes were quite small/narrow. There were about 6 of these new sites right up in front of the campground with no trees for shade. There were no fire pits which was disappointing; who goes camping without a campfire? I am hoping this was just because the sites are new. Again the sites were very narrow as well so not much space for a fire ring either so they may need to invest in some portable ones. The price for these sites is way too high given the lack of amenities (small site, no campfire, no WiFi, smelly water); I’ve stayed at nicer state parks. The campground was quite large after taking some long walks to check things out. This campground is definitely geared towards permanent campers. And I do mean permanent with full roofs over the tops and extensive porches; it looks like many of the campers haven’t been moved in 20 years or given any TLC based on the looks of them and the overgrowth of weeds, shrubs, etc. It was disappointing to see some great lot opportunities wasted on the junk that is put in them and not kept up. My husband and I are looking for a place to make more permanent and this is a prime geographic location for us but it is unfortunately too run down. The swimming pond looks really gross and under-maintained; I definitely would not swim in it nor is it even relaxing to sit around. It looks like this place may have been a camper’s paradise back in the day but it needs a lot TLC.
