Hello. There are some negative reviews of Fossil Rock and there may be some merit to some of their complaints. I think the most valid complaint is that this is not a campground for tent campers. It is absolutely true that this campground caters to seasonal campers as this is the type of campground it is. So, if you have a travel trailer or pop-up, your experience should be much better.

The campground is under new management, and they have worked very hard and made many improvements to the campground and facilities. The public bathrooms have been remodeled and look great. As a seasonal camper or someone with a travel trailer, you have your own bathroom so there is little need to use a public bathroom.

As with anyplace, there will always be people that are problematic and that do not follow the rules. I have personally seen some of these people kicked out of the campground which is great for all of us law abiding seasonal campers. Believe me, those of us that yell at people driving their cars above the posted speed limit are also yelling at those that we know that are violating the campground rules.

I have been a seasonal camper here for four years and it has been a wonderful experience. The people here are great. It is a community. In my opinion, this is not an ideal campground for tent campers, yet. Before upgrading from tent camping to a travel trailer, we camped at Starved Rock and I thought that that sucked. Yes, we have some people that don't know how to act but I think you will find this true anywhere you go. I think that the new management is working very hard to change the image and to get rid of the riffraff. And as far as there being nothing to do, this is partly true. This is camping folks...you spend time walking around, swimming, fishing and hanging with your friends and family around the campfire, connecting with one another. If you want activities, go to Yogi Bear or Disney World!
