Had an AMAZING time here! Owner was great and extremely nice and helpful! The kids had a blast running around and fishing in the river. Will definitely be back! Only downside was no water/electric for campsites, but we have a generator and water jugs for that!

Great campgrounds with acceptable portapotty. Close enough to amenities in town but private enough to relax and enjoy nature. Our site had a fire pit and picnic table, and the 7 of us had a lovely weekend. It looks like a large grounds with sites in the woods or along the river. Candy was a great host and recommended we drive up river with our own tubes and float back to camp which was the right move. They had a wonderful 4th of July fireworks and bonfire celebration to cap the night. Highly recommended as this is such an easy drive from Chicago & suburbs.

I stayed at this campground two years ago and then stayed recently the first people to stay for the season we had our own picnic table our own fire pit beautiful next to the fox river a porta potty that was cleaned out every few days the lady was super nice who took care of us always offered extra firewood. I definitely recommend this campground to anybody. I’ve never had a problem the two times that I have stayed and it has always been so peaceful and the wildlife is beautiful !!! I also know that it is a dog friendly campground so you can bring your doggy friends with you!!!
