This is a very clean and strictly run campground. I did read the reviews prior to making my reservation and I was very skeptical about staying here. I have a 10 year old and a black lab. It seems to me the ones who complained must be used to either State Park camping, which I also do, or a Jellystone where kids are running amok all the time. If you are looking for a quiet and respectful campground, this is it. The sites are very close together, too close for me. The neighbor's power post was at my front door. The highway noise is very loud when you are up front. If you are just spending one night or just sleeping, it's OK. You can not bring food or drink in the enclosed pool area but there is a covered patio on the other side of the fence with tables and chairs where you can bring these items. Most of the workers seem to be retired people who can be much nicer to the guests if they wanted to. We did blow out our power converter the first night and I have to say it was a godsend to have an RV service center on site. We were diagnosed and repaired within 36 hours. Just waited for the replacement to arrive. Kudos to the service department. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The place is clean and quiet. I found the place online while traveling and was looking forward to watching ESPN, because they have cable TV, and getting some clothes washed. We arrived after 7 PM. The kids were looking forward to maybe playing a little put-put ($1/game) or playing on the playground. Well, the whole place shuts down at 8 PM. You can't even wash clothes past 7:30, there is a sign. Speaking of signs, there are a lot of signs. The place is littered with them for every little thing. Well, I thought at least we have ESPN. Not: it says they do on the guide but it is CMT instead. You get about 8 channels. They also have WiFi, but it works poorly. Hope you have an Iphone or an aircard. Like I said, the place is quiet and clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I was VERY impressed with this place for the following reasons: friendly office staff, escorted to site & escort stayed until we were in position to park, very clean sites, overall quiet park, many activities-pool, mini golf, tennis, basketball, horseshoes, croquet, shuffleboard, playground (only fee was $1 for 9 holes of mini golf), incredibly clean shower/bathroom. Only undesirable: slight highway noise-ask for site away from front. A few park suggestions: update croquet equipment, rake dry grass lumps and level ball ruts from croquet playing area (we are serious croquet players), check pool filter (few too many little bugs in pool all day), post shuffle board rules for those who don't know them, update tennis rackets. Loved the Wi-Fi and cable included in park's nightly price. Make sure you read the list of rules when you arrive. There is quite a list, but obviously that is why this park is so well kept. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice campground. It's clean. It is right on Rt 66. Not far from Lincoln's museum. The campground has a fantastic camper repairman who is very pleasant and excellent. He fixed our broken awning, in 1 morning and was very reasonable. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

We happened across this campground as we were heading down to Branson, Missouri for a vacation. It was raining extremely hard and I was pooped from driving in it, so we decided to overnight at the first campground we came across. Fortunately for us it was Double J. From what we saw this is a very clean, nicely run family oriented campground. The sites we observed were nicely laid out and plenty large for even the biggest coach. We very seldom go to the same campground twice, as we like to explore new things, but we would go back to Double J. Two thumbs up on Double J even though they give no discounts for Good Sam. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice RV park. The staff was friendly and helpful. The park was clean and quiet. Cable TV selection was small, but did have the local and national news channels along with the weather channel. The park's WiFi worked and we had very good cell coverage (Sprint & AT&T). One minor problem was standing water. There had been a lot of rain and consequently were large puddles in front of the trash dumpster and also in front of the office. I would stay here again. The park is beside I-55, but there was very little freeway noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were here 4 nights with a group. There are 2 shower houses/rest rooms. One is older and requires the user to hold the handle to get water and the temperature cannot be changed. The second one is newer, is air conditioned and has faucets which can adjust the temperature. Showers in both are somewhat cramped for dressing. We got a downpour while we were gone and when we returned we had a "lake front site". I will say the management was helpful in delivering a couple of boards for us to use to get to our door. Because the group was a bunch of small travel trailers, we were placed on pull through sites back to back. That required a fair amount of work to make our electric and water hook ups, since each site had only a 50, 30, and 20 amp plug for a possible 4 trailers. Water hookups were equally scarce. While we did not mind the traffic noise, the campground does front directly on I-55. We would probably not stay here again unless it was with another group. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was the nicest campground we stayed in on our western trip. We made it our base camp for 3 days while visiting the sites of Springfield. Sites were level and long, good 50/30 amp service, good WI-FI and cable TV. Will stay here again on our next trip west. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nicely located park just outside Springfield, Illinois. Was easy access from Interstate. Had good power, good water, good Wi-Fi. It's mostly shaded, but nicely groomed larger trees did not affect our 45' motorcoach. Has fairly long gravel sites. This is a well maintained park. We would stay here again and would recommend to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We kind of 'hesitated' by some of the Reviews: saying people weren't friendly and Wi-Fi didn't work. We came, and people were friendly with us, assisted us to our spot and made sure that everything was OK and working. There was comment not to park on the grass as it's been raining a lot and more rain to come (which it did, just poured and we had standing water!) you could understand they don't want their grass all torn up. The Wi-Fi worked prefect for us, and they had TV connect with a cable to your rig that offered about 10 channels (ABC, NBC, weather, CNN, etc). They have a quiet, well maintained park, clean restrooms and I would definitely stay here again! Conveniently located within a few miles to Springfield to take in all the Historical Sites of the Abe Lincoln family, any shopping you would want and restaurants. Sites are level and spaced nicely apart. Easy access from the Freeway, but yet not noisy at night and dark, good sleeping. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a clean, orderly and well-maintained RV park. It is located just south of Springfield, Illinois and is fairly close to the freeway, however there is almost no freeway noise. The park is about 2 miles off the freeway on a frontage road, easy access. Streets in the park are well kept. RV site was level and all utilities worked. Property showed pride of ownership/management and the employees were all friendly. We were guided to our site by an employee in an electric cart, he also saw that we were satisfied with the site and its amenities. We stayed here two nights and would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I can't imagine a less friendly campground staff. The woman behind the counter was abrupt to the point of rudeness. I had to remind myself I was a paying guest; I should have reminded her! There was no Wi-Fi the entire week we stayed there. I don't think they should advertise services they don't have. The signage makes one think that you have camped in a prison yard. This is absolutely not a place to bring a family. The spaces are very, very cramped and pulling into and out of a space is a challenge. Heaven help you if a tire accidentally rolls across their precious grass! I would never stay there again and I think the $30 price is ridiculous for what they offer. I would park at a Wal-Mart overnight before I would spend my money at that place again. This place is cramped, overcrowded, over priced and the counter person needs a course in customer relations. She is horrid! We camped here in a Motorhome.

They have a store with some basic supplies and gift shop, tennis court, basketball, croquet, horseshoes, shuffleboard, game room, mini-golf, pretty pool. I would stay here again if passing through.

Visited park for the first time. Followed host of signs to office where the staff gave an appearance of being overworked and not attentive to the information I provided. We were escorted by many signs into our site which was located in the n/w corner of the pull throughs. When I exited my coach I asked the escort how I was going to exit the park (my site was too close to the corner to make a right turn without backing up. One couldn't make a left turn out of my site as there was a "visitor parking" area, identified by a sign, that was full.) The escort stated the cars would probably still be there in the morning as the cars belonged to residents and not visitors. As a compromise he stated he would get the owners to move their cars and cone off the four spaces in front of my site although I told him it would take 8 spaces to turn out. This gave me room to go forward & back up so I could exit. Of course I had to unhook the tow vehicle that I told the staff I had at check in. The 26' rig next to me could not make the right turn to exit either without going forward & back. The roads are narrow & had mud visible as it had rained. The roads are too narrow for big rigs to swing around and you will rub the untrimmed trees. The park had a very nice pool. The park had a children playground with a very large rule sign. I don't have a pet, but thought the sign "pick up after your pet or leave them home" was a rather rude approach. For smaller rigs we felt this park was a good value. We will not revisit this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a really nice park. We stayed twice in two weeks. Some reviewers have panned their rules - I did not find any oppressive rules mostly they were along the line of the "Golden Rule". They did have a lot of signs to keep you well informed (probably a little German Heritage) but our three girls had a lot of fun with the pool, mini-golf and playground without getting called on any rule. They have a good parts store if you break something on the road (geared mostly to towables) and prices were not out of line. Our sites were plenty long and almost level enough to keep the jacks stowed. We will keep this one on our "return" list. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I should have noted the previous posters note about being very strict on rules. I would not stay here again as it is not a family oriented campground: management is very strict, not friendly and overly intrusive. The highway noise is very loud all the time. They seem to go out of their way to make sure you camp exactly how they think you should camp. Here are the things we did wrong. We parked slightly crooked, required to park behind our camper which prevented me from hooking up my sewer line due to the long distance to my hookup at the front of the rig. My child played basketball 5 minutes too long and prevented a worker from leaving exactly at 8am. We were not allowed to place a door mat outside on the dry cracked mud as it may damage the ground. We were 7 minutes late removing dry clothes from the laundry and were locked out. Bottled water was not allowed in the pool area, it may contaminate the pool water. Kids cannot go to the bathroom without an adult unless you are 17 years old. No bike riding after 8pm. The office person was not much help locating a grocery or convenience store, did not seem to have one in the area. The bathrooms were somewhat clean, although we had to hold the water on for showers and sinks. It is obvious why this campground is only partially full and the others are booked. Spend your time at the KOA which has spotless bathrooms and very friendly and knowledgeable people willing to help and make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. This campground felt more like a WWII prison camp than a relaxing campground to enjoy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I have never seen so many signs with rules on them and felt like I was being watched to see if I was breaking any of them. The campground looked "tacky" due to the extensive signage. The overall atmosphere was unfriendly and intimidating. I was afraid I, or one of my kids, would break a rule and be asked to leave. This is not a place for kids. The park was clean but more like a morgue than a vacation site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very nice campground except for the noise from the interstate. And the rules, lots of them. Shady pull-through spots and spaced far enough from your neighbors that it isn't a problem. WI-Fi signal was adequate except the actual internet connection was pretty poor. I wound up using my phone as a tethered modem which gave me a much better internet connection. Relatively close to historic attractions and right on historic Route 66. Cable TV available with 10 channels available although 2 of them didn't work. Most of the sites don't appear to be satellite friendly, I might have been able to find a hole through the trees if I wanted to spend some time hunting. I would definitely stay here again should our travels bring us this way. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I would have given this campground a higher rating if not for the close proximity to expressway noise, and bathrooms are very clean but need updating. We were comfortable here with friendly organized staff; they had their act together. Good spacing between sites. Most sites are pull through and shade. Nice pool. Close to Lincoln sites with lots to do in the area. There are not a lot of choices for camping in the area, but we were here for touring so this campground fit that need.

Pretty nice place. The place was clean. The lots are all level packed gravel. It is close to I-55 and you do have plenty of highway noise. They are sticklers on rules though. Also, I had to pull the camper half way through the site, disconnect my tow vehicle and pull around to the other side of my camper to park. Just seems weird. The childs playground was small and did have some damaged swings still hanging. No pets allowed in play area. I guess if people always cleaned up after their pets they wouldn't have that rule. Also had a $5 per hour early check in fee. That seems alot to ask if you have empty sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here just one night on way through. Didn't even unhitch. Easy in, easy out, level, and big beautiful shade trees, nice fire-ring in ground. Good playground and swimming pool and store. Good WiFi and hookups. Spotless campground and nice long sites, if a bit close together. Downside - too many rules! We are a pretty quiet family with 2 small children. I didn't like feeling like if they did practically anything that we might be told to leave. This is definitely a campground for planning a quiet stay with no intention of kids riding or playing on their own. However, it is certainly easy to find, right by the freeway, and rates were reasonable, although the number above is just a guess. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Camp was extremely well kept, however we were not comfortable here because the owners were constantly riding around "looking" for rule infractions! You are not even allowed to carry a bottle of water into the pool area. Very uptight, not recommended for families. Retired, or those without children would probably really like it here.

I agree that the sheer volume of signs and rules are a bit over the top, however, the park is clean and maintained. One very big issue would be the bath/showers located at the rear. Unless you are able to shower/shampoo and use soap with one hand, you'd find it difficult to use these facilities since you have to hold the handle to dispense water. Hot water does not exist at this bath location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Cleanest RV park I've seen in our 10 years of RV'ing. There are several signs but they didn't bother us and I believe that's what keeps this park so nice. We had great WI-FI connection and we parked towards the back of the RV park. Lots of areas to walk dogs and they have dogie bags available. We parked in a 38' Fifth wheel and had plenty of space. Staff very friendly and a park host guides you to your site. Will stay here again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pros: Very clean and well kept park. Nice amenities including playground and pavilion. Unusually wide sites. Dog walk area with clean up stations at both ends. Easy access to/from the Interstate. Close to Springfield attractions. Cons: Close to I55, thus constant freeway noise. Upon entering the park, you are inundated with signs and rules to the point of amusement. Extra charge for those visiting you at your campsite. Some sites are not as long as the big-rig sites. Our long bed quad cab truck would not fit in the pull-thru site with our trailer and had to be parked in visitor parking. Overall: I recommend this park if road noise is not an issue and will stay there again. Few parks I've seen are as clean and well kept as this one. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a private campground south of Springfield, convenient to tourist spots. It is clean, well kept, and the folks running the place are pleasant to deal with. We did not find the "Keep Off the Grass" signs, etc to be intrusive or irritating. Points off for closeness of sites (-.25) and for proximity to I-55 (-1.75). We knew the campground was close to the highway and expected the noise, but be aware that the sounds from the highway is a constant. We would stay again if in the area.

The price stated was for full hookups. This is an exceptionally neat and attractive, well laid-out park with nicely graveled sites and mature, healthy shade trees. The office is also a gift shop, but has no RV supplies. The staff is friendly. It is quite close to the highway, and road noise may bother some folks, but not us. The laundry is somewhat small (two washers and two dryers) for this size campground, which may result in a delay in accessing its use. There is a $2 per additional visitor to the campsite charge, with a maximum of four guests. We will gladly return if again in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After researching reviews on this site, we decided to travel here as part of our vacation. The grounds were extremlely clean, the staff was extremely nice, and the location was very easy to get to. We decided to stay an extra night, as we enjoyed the campground that much. We stayed here with our 4 month old daughter, so didn't get to use the pool on this stay. The sites were large enough for the truck and fifth wheel to sit. We had enough room for a campfire and outdoor sitting. It rained when we pulled in, but the grounds quickly dried. The owner releveled the gravel each day after other rigs left. The only downside was that there wasn't a lot of room if you like to walk around the campgrounds. About 10 minutes and you were back at your starting point. All in all, it was great. We will definitely return!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a big rig friendly campground. The sites are gravel, level with grass between. The area has trees, but all are trimmed for access. This is a very clean and well maintained campground. It is right on Rt.66 and very convenient to I-55. Stayed two days and visited the President Lincoln museum, Statehouse, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice RV campground. It has city water with good pressure as well as good electric and sewer. The campground is well laid out and has the option of shade tree sites or open sites for satellite reception. They also offer free Wifi. This is a great location for visiting Springfield, about 10 miles from downtown. There is some noise from the highway but it wasn't objectionable. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the cleanest RV parks we have been in. The spaces are wide and long. Bags are provided in the pet walk are as is a waste container. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Our only complaint is the laundry area is extremely small with only 2 washers and 2 dryers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

All we wanted in an overnight stay on our way south. 1) close to motorway (I-55), 2) far enough from the road not to hear the traffic, 3) level site, 4) friendly staff (helped with parking), 5) WiFI, 6) very well maintained, 6) RV service shop, 7) dog friendly Really nice place to stay...clean, safe and helpful. This will be our primary and last stop on any trips south. We stay here in a 42' MH....no toad We camped here in a Motorhome.

Except for a very spendy wifi ($12/day), the park is very nice. Lots of shade but still good satellite access, minimal highway noise, and for those concerned about weather, two designated storm shelters. The tennis courts were being resurfaced in June 06. On-site RV service and sales nearest the highway, then transient spaces, with the "seasonal" spaces at the very back of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stopped at Double J Campground on our way to our devastated home in Louisiana, after Hurricane Katrina wreaked her havoc on the Gulf Coast. We were worried, scared, anxious, in a hurry to get home, and not the richest folks on the planet, having been forced to leave a Workamper job early because of the hurricane. Well, the folks at Double J couldn't do enough for us. Imagine our surprise upon going into the office to pay the next morning only to be told that it had already been taken care of! One of the residents had generously paid for our site and the owner reimbursed him out of the goodness of her heart. Not only that, but Double J gave us ice, cases of Diet Cokes, bottled water and even offered us a job come next summer and offered to send me to RV tech school! They would not let us pay for anything. Talk about wonderful folks! And add all that to the fact that the campground was meticulously clean and manicured, and you could have eaten off the bathroom floors, no joking. The pull-through sites are long and very level, and all sites are nicely paved and have a lot of shade. There are some semi-permanent RVs in the back row, but their sites are kept super clean with no debris lying about. Garbage cans are emptied every day, if not more often. The owners take great pride in their RV park and it shows. I heartily recommend this campground to anyone traveling through the Chatham area as you won't be disappointed. The cleanliness alone rates a "10". We are so appreciative of Double J's kindnesses to us that we will never forget how good they made us feel, at a time when our spirits were rock-bottom. Now, THAT'S a great RV park, in my estimation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very attractive park on a freeway frontage road. Large level sites with lots of mature trees. Any size rig will fit. Excellent 50 amp power. The small laundry is only open 9-5. They have RV service and parts/supplies on site. If it weren't for the freeway noise, it would be perfect, but at least it isn't next to railroad tracks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a well maintained campground with large camp sites. We stayed here for three weeks. It is a few miles from Springfield, the capitol of Illinois, and Lake Springfield. Lots to see and do in the Springfield area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
