We only stayed one night passing through but it was a nice campground. Check in was fine a little goofy having to walk around the building to check in but no big deal. They tried to meet me with the golf cart before I walked around. Facilities were nice and clean., nice pool, probably the best free mini golf course we have found at a campground. Sites were level and not too tight, about average for a KOA site. Would stay again if passing though the Chicago area.
We went the last week of September and was a blast for the kids since they has a lot of activities related with Halloween.
Kids had a lot of fun.
We had an excellent spot for our trailer.
Bathroom are clean.
I just spent two nights at this KOA and would not recommend this location to anyone who needs RV accommodations in this part of the country.
The RV sites are very overpriced for what is offered. The water has a strong iron/metal odor and comes out cloudy. There is a sewer odor near certain sites. I used the laundry facility to wash a load of towels. Washers and dryers were dirty. I had to remove a sanitary pad that had been left behind from the washer I was about to load. I could not adjust the toggle switch to the hot water cycle because the selector switch had been removed on all three machines only allowing for the cold water wash. I texted the phone number given at check in. The on duty employee arrived and went into the maintenance room and brought out a selector switch allowing the machine to fill with hot water. Why would a campground owner not allow access to hot water after the guest paid the $2.00 to use the machine?? In my opinion this KOA is more interested in money making than providing a positive experience for their guests.
Sites are relatively good sized. We stayed in the premium dog site which have a large dog cage on the site with swing and fire pit so your dog can be with you around the camp for. Extra vehicle parking and really large area for kids to play.
Service here has been great, everyone kind and friendly. And when we had an issue with a washing machine they responded to the text line quickly, even though it was after hours. Bob is the one who helped us and was great.
Location was also good, about 14 minutes from a good sized town with all the stores and places you need to stock up before your next move.
