Bur Oaks Campground Introduce

Bur Oaks Campground, located at 10303 Oaks Rd, Alhambra, IL 62001, and reachable at (618) 488-7927 or +1 618-488-7927, offers a fantastic camping experience within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category. Based on customer feedback, this campground is highly regarded for its family-friendly atmosphere and affordability.

Customers consistently praise Bur Oaks Campground as an "amazing place for family and friends to hang out." The owners, Dawn, Anthony, and Rachel Finley, are recognized for their attentiveness and commitment to maintaining a safe environment. This makes it an ideal location for families with children, allowing them to "unplug from electronic leashes" and enjoy outdoor adventures.

Key features and services highlighted by reviews include:

  • Affordable yearly rates and readily available temporary spots.
  • A safe environment for children to play and explore.
  • Attentive and responsive owners.
  • A strong sense of community and friendly atmosphere.
  • "Honey wagon" service for black tank emptying.

While the campground is highly praised, reviewers noted a couple of areas for potential improvement. Specifically, the addition of a pool is a desired amenity, and sewer hookups are not available at all sites. However, the available "honey wagon" service mitigates the sewer issue.

The overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many customers expressing their intent to return and recommend Bur Oaks Campground to others. The campground is described as a "little slice of Americana," providing an escape from the stresses of daily life.

For local users, Bur Oaks Campground offers an excellent opportunity for weekend getaways and extended stays. Its proximity to surrounding areas, as indicated by a customer who lives only an hour away, makes it a convenient destination. The welcoming atmosphere and family-oriented environment make it a highly recommended choice for those seeking a relaxing and enjoyable camping experience. It is recommended to call and confirm availability and any specific site questions.

Overall an amazing place for family and friends to hang out. Affordable for yearly rates and the temp spot is almost always available if you want to come in and test out the campground to see if it’s for you. Amazing owners Dawn, Anthony, and Rachel Finley are attentive to concerns and keep a tight reign for unsafe/unsavory behavior in the pro making this a safe spot to cut the little ones loose to adventure and unplug from the electronic leashes that we all wish they spent less time on. Watching your 9 year old run and play and get dirty with other littles makes every dollar spent worth it. Cons to this place are short but every place has them. For Bur Oaks a pool is a definite must and I believe is on their agenda and of expansion efforts. The sites do not have full sewer hook-ups but there is an amazing full-time resident who bring the “honey wagon” around and emptied your black tank whenever you request it. And that truly is the only two cons for this amazing campground. From March-November this little slice of Americana is your escape from the 50 hour work weeks and long days that we all fall prey to in this rat race we call life. So come on out, build your fire, cut the kids loose on their bikes, crack a beer or bottle of wine with your partner and forget about your problems for the weekend!!! Swing by and we will have a beer together! Cheers and we’ll see you soon!!!

Then he says sorry. Maybe he had a rough weekend I don't know. But I do know we won't be back. Good luck to them and you all

Nothing but great things to say about this campground. Our kids are grown and still talk about the great times they had in the lake, all the holiday events and especially Halloween. Great people, great fun. Wonderful memories!!!
