Customer Reviews
I'll start by saying my three stars has nothing to do with the quality of the campsite. Camping was really nice and the staff was helpful. The park as a whole is pretty and bathrooms are well maintained. However, I paid $49 for a tent site arriving on my bicycle (as a non-county resident). Midwest parks need to do better to cater to tenters arriving under their own power... nearly $50 for a tent site with no vehicle is borderline ridiculous.
Excellent camping ground not far from the city and in close proximity to coffee shops or fast food places whilst giving the feel of camping in the woods and nature preserve. Good for folks getting introduced to camping. Very helpful staff, the only issue we faced was that the lack of water in the rest rooms and some frantic calls were made by the staff to get the water going again. Please call ahead and ensure that the water issues have been taken care of before you camp. Sand Ridge nature preserve has hiking trails that can be accessed between 8 AM to 4 PM from the camp grounds. You can also sign up for activities and nature preserve tours like the Frog Watch tour etc led by naturalists. Dogs are allowed on the camp sites but must be kept on a leash at all times. Overall, we enjoyed the camping but for the water issues in the rest rooms. I hope FPDCC and the camp site management take care of resolving this immediately.
Heart of the Lamb Christian Academy youth group enjoyed three days at Camp Shabbona. The campground was well maintained. The staff was superior. We look forward to returning next year. Thanks for a fantastic experience.
Well done. Great bathrooms, furniture and ambiance. And not too far from the city!
Very nice little park, well maintained and facilities all clean. Camping is mainly cabins or tents as there is no hookup, but we enjoyed staying over night in our camper van on our #AcumaticaRoadtrip
