The staff was very friendly, and the grounds are well kept. Other "lady" campers made a mess out of the bathrooms, although they were cleaned daily, I guess with some people there needs to be a 24 hour staff. A train came through in the wee hours of the morning, but otherwise the camp was surprisingly quiet. Good food at the local diner, too! Wi-Fi worked. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice people run this campground. Even ask that you don't park or drive on the grass, which to some might sound picky, but really, it tells you they care. Loose stone sites, but very level, and mostly pull through, too. Their Wi-Fi is excellent, but not from most sites. Best to take a seat on the picnic table next to the office, and you'll get excellent reception. Satellite reception was easy, especially with a portable dish. Within a few miles of Bloomington, and less than 30 miles from Peoria. It's a Passport America campground, so weekdays your rate can be as low as $13. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I don't believe this campground lives up to its GS/TL rating. There is non-existent wireless internet at site. I was told to try at outside picnic table next to office; still did not work. Neighbor's sewer was at door of next site. There are small sites. It is difficult to maneuver with 35' fifth wheel or motorhome. This was a one night stopover; I will not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice friendly owners and sites were nice. Bathrooms and toilets could have been cleaner. We were disappointed because everything else was nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Turns were tight for rig 62' long. Road and sites were firm enough to support 32k. One short train passed by about 3 a.m. Very good place to stop for 1 night. Probably very busy in season. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is our favorite campground. We stay here once a month during the season. The hosts are friendly, the campground is beautiful and clean. There is a nice clean pool, and shaded spots to park. It is quiet (except for some interstate traffic noise), and there is help available for any problem. The shower house is always clean and hot water is plentiful. The owners are very good about keeping up the campground and keeping it quiet. There's not a lot for kids other than the pool and a basketball hoop, but for old geezers like us, it's perfect! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a good park to spend one night in while traveling. It was easy to maneuver in and out of sites. THEY DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS....so be prepared. We received a 15% Escapees discount, making the total $20.40. There is a lot of traffic noise.....interstate highway on one side, and train tracks on another. We had the A/C on all night, so we really weren't bothered by it, but if your windows were open, it would be difficult to sleep. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Water was yellow. We were in new section with 50 amp. Weather was very hot, and the new asphalt was melting and tracked into camper. Did we say the water was yellow? We were glad we had bottled water with us. Access and exit road was very narrow, with drop-offs right at the turns--so be aware. Full hook-up was $26, and they added $4 for 50 amp service, and WiFi was another $2, even though you have to walk out to the picnic table with your computer. No discounts available to us. Unfortunately, it is the only campground around, but we won't stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed in the new section of the park - very new, no shade. Our choice so we could get satellite service. Once the grass grows out and the roads and sites get compacted some, ought to be nice, but until then hope it doesn't rain. Some water pressure problems. Daily trash pickup at site. There is highway noise, but not louder than our air conditioner. No laundry. Passport America honored during week, not on weekends. FMCA discount any day. Doesn't do credit cards. New section has 50amp service. Never heard any trains, but the tracks do run along the park boundary. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our favorite little campground. I hesitate to recommend this place for fear there won't be room for us next time we camp here. The owners, Cliff and Krista are very cordial(and their kids are so cute), and Will is friendly and helpful, too. This is a beautiful shaded and quiet campground. It is near the interstate, so there is some travel noise, but a white noise machine does the trick for me. The showers and restrooms are roomy and always clean. The pool is clean and inviting. There is a small playground and a nice shelter for groups. This campground is the best kept one we've ever been to, and has become our favorite! They are in the process of adding more campsites. Our 37 ft. motorhome had no trouble negotiating the turn into the place. We look forward to our times here! It is a "Komfortable Kamp!" We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have a dually/36' high-profile fifth wheel. Our pull-through site was only just long enough and needed levelling. Old Park and 30 amp service only just adequate (looks like an old KOA Park). Owner pleasant and helpful. No cable TV and limited channels with antenna. OK for one night stopover. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wow! this has to be one of the cleanest campgrounds I have ever been in. It's apparent once you hit the gate the owner keeps a well manicured lawn. The park was once a KOA and just as clean with out the price. We belong to FMCA so we got a 10% discount on top of the rate and the host threw in Wi-Fi. There was an older man named Willie who escorted us to our site and pointed towards his rig and told us if we needed anything to just knock on his door. Like any KOA the sites accommodated my 40 footer with tow and it was a breeze getting in and out. The next morning I failed to lower my antenna when I was pulling out and Willie came storming out of his camper reminding me. I will go back this fall heading south. We camped here in a Motorhome.
$13.00 for 30 amp, water, sewer with Passport America. Very skinny road to campground. We were in site #6. Right next to I-74, bring ear plugs. On the other side is train tracks. Water was undrinkable. Hadn't passed some test. Notice on the front door. Side by side electric. Needs more gravel on sites and roads aren't made for big rigs. Branches need to be cut back. Water pressure was low. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We love this park. Safe, Clean and not too many permanent sites. The owner is very hands on and friendly. Lots of space and overall, a great place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground is very clean and quiet. There are many features such as an in-ground pool, a large pavilion, a play area for children, a small store and a dog walk area. Wonderful place to stay awhile. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice but strange campground. VERY tight turn into the park at the road for Big Rig. Waited and watched for sign of life at the office but no one seemed to be around. Was finally greeted on this busy July 4th weekend by a 10-year old girl. She totalled up the "ala carte" menu of services that I requested and cheerfully asked for cash and informed me that there were no discounts offered. The wifi was charged at $2, I was given an access code and informed that you could only get it at the picnic table near the office. Probably the longest check-in ever but OK. The site was level and very pretty. Wifi in coach was just fine at my end of the small campground! (Why would I be instructed to sit outdoors at the picnic table?) They had a nice clean dog play area with designer baggies provided. But OH--the TRAIN! I did not know that the train tracks were 50 feet from where I slept! I thought the world was coming to an end at 2 am. I hardly know how to rate this nice campground but must take at least 2 points off for unusual delay at checkin, misinformation about wifi and THE TRAIN! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a former KOA and caters to travelers and local camping groups. Located right between I-74 and a RR track, it's a bit noisy, but not as bad as we expected. Sites are quite spacious for this type of campground, both long enough for most trailer-tow combos and wide enough to allow some elbow room between occupants. Sites are paved, with wide grassy areas in between, lots of shade trees, and many have concrete patios for the picnic tables. Very clean and tidy, with pleasant owners. Bathrooms standard KOA-style and older, but clean and functional. Good overnighter. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Paid the $13 Passport America rate. Pleasant, large sites, lots of trees, apparently some 50 amp sites. Iron in water discolors it. Next to the freeway; you can hear it but not see it. We barely made the turn into the entrance with our 40' MH and toad. We would happily stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We paid Passport America rate of $12 for w/e site. Neat as a pin with friendly hosts. Driveway gate may be a little tight for really big rigs, but we turned in just fine. Newly asphalted drive in. Appears to have been a KOA but is in much better condition now. Everything looks refurbished and clean. Nice hostess. Sites are gravel and could use leveling, most have a slight hump in the middle from years of use. Ours was a bit on the lumpy side, but the jacks found their mark. Would definitely use again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
