This was okay, but we were driven away by a bunch of tiny flies. No biting, just swarming all over everywhere. Pit toilets, no showers, best for self-contained only. - Janjanjan68
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Buffalo Park Forest Preserve »We have stayed here many times in 2004 and 2005. There are flush toilets at the Ranger Station. No reservations, but always a site except for holiday weekends. On holidays arrive early in week and get a great spot. Each spot has it's own water, elec, and fire ring. The wildlife in area is beautiful, crane, egrets, and several other fishing birds can be seen all day long. Additions of more tent sites expected soon. Residents of Kane County pay 10, others pay 15. - beckolette

Rating: 9 5 8 6 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We are from this area & stay at this park every year while visiting friends. The sites are large & the grass is thick. The campground hosts are friendly & fair. There is no sewer but there is a dump station. There is no cable or WI Fi. 99.99 percent of the sites are satellite friendly & the Chicago are provides a wealth of over the air stations. There are plenty of shopping & restaurants in the area. There are no other real campgrounds in the area. So we are glad to have this one. Sites are on a first come first serve basis & you can only stay two weeks at a time. - Connie's Co-Owner
Have stayed here before but has been a few years. Sad to see that they continue to have rude and unfriendly attendant return again this year but wont hire back friendly and helpful woman they have had for many years there previous. Nothing for children to do here but ride bikes or fish. Same campers hog sites for up to 2 weeks at a time. Is OK for an overnight stop. - LanieG
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Burnidge Forest Preserve, Paul Wolff Campground »Very clean campground, with only Water & electric available (we used 50 amp) It has 2 dump stations that are easily accessible. Concrete pads are pretty level, but we did have to dip our front end pretty heavily to level front to back. Large fire rings with firewood available for sale on site. They do have a rule about mat size and we did have to bring ours up, as I looked at all the tents pitched in RV sites (with no RV), so not sure what that issue was about. There are a lot of retailers pretty close by. - TimothyR

Rating: 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Camp Reinberg »This is a tiny gem in Chicagoland with a lot going for it. Only five RV sites, plus tent sites and cabins. We have only camped here in off season, $50/nite in the summer is not worth it to us when we only live 6 miles away. But they have a lot of activities in the summer, check the website and reserve early. The good: 1. It is in a forest preserve with an extensive network of hiking trails and a paved bike path. 2. The Metra station is less than 3 miles away, you can be in downtown Chicago in less than one hour. 3. Restaurants and shopping nearby at Deer Park Town Center. 4. Propane, ice, other supplies are also very close. The bad: They need to work on their logistics. Much of the information on the website is wrong, like hours and phone numbers. On some sites, the fire ring is too close to your trailer for a safe campfire. The electric hook up is on the wrong side of the pad (really). No water hook ups (oddly, they have sewer though) and no spigots. You will be hauling water, unless their hose will reach your site. They told when we reserved that we could have it (hose) for our stay but then someone pounded on our door at 9:00 at night and told us that was wrong. He did allow us to fill our fresh water tank before he took it though. This place is geared for giving an outdoors experience to locals. They have classes like Camping 101, they rent equipment like bicycles and snowshoes and even a complete tent set up with sleeping bags. If you are not local, the main reason for going there is to have a convenient way to visit Chicago. - janci

Rating: 7 5 8 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice park. Interstate noise is pretty bad. Big issue is the high price at $73.00. - sandawilliams
The entry/exit a big JOKE and caused major back ups in & out of facilities! Office location up a hill & around the back is not friendly for folks with walking problems. Trees need trimming and we had a tree overhanging the coach. $5 per visitor not using any facilities is crazy. Facilities are marginally big rig friendly. Got soaked in a major rain returning key card. Staff was friendly and helpful with the limitations they're stuck with. Power seemed stable and sufficient. There was only 1 dumpster that was overflowing. We have a 44' MH with toad. - Athuddriver

Rating: 5 1 5 4 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Roads in park are old asphalt with lots of pot holes. A bit pricey for no sewer or shade. Camp sights are wide and deep. The Security gate they say they have is in rear of park to protect seasonal. There free wifi and cable has been removed. - geo cong
The park floods, roads are full of pot holes; fire pits are located inconveniently on your site where you park your vehicle. Walk ways and roads are not shoveled properly. I witnessed someone slip and fall on a road thick with ice by the laundry room. Rent was just raised in the past month with a bare minimum done for park maintenance. They advertise spring water, Wi-Fi and cable in the brochure, but do not have theses amenities and its well water you do not want to drink. Some sites do not have electric. The first night I pulled in I was told by the Park Manager the electric company had just come that day and it was my rig; her solution was to go to a hotel for the night after paying a month rent and a $300 security deposit. When I left the Park I was told the park manager was in Florida and that she would send out a check for my security deposit. It's been over a month that I moved out; I have not received any money (security deposit). I have called the office several times, no one answers the phone and no one returns my voicemail. I hope you do not make the same mistake I did. - MKZ

Cable services did not work in the park, laundry was well equipped, but machines didn't work consistently and brown well water ruined clothes. The roads inside the park are full of many holes. There were a few bad storms while we were there, downing trees (on a neighboring camper) and severe flooding. Has dump tank services weekly, also there is a dump station. - pamMJR

Rating: 5 4 5 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed for 2 weeks in a full hookup site near the pool area. Site was small and mostly gravel. They do not clean the sites in between campers as I had to spend the first 15 mins picking up cigarettes butts and shoveling ash from where the previous campers had moved the fire ring. Picnic table was bent and we had to put torn up boxes under the legs to level it. Staff mowed on/off everyday blowing grass on campers and anything left out in your site. Rained one day and everything flooded. Pool and lake have ridiculous rules and require everyone to get out for 10 mins at the top of every hour. This is fine for kids but for adults? No food or drinks (except for bottled water) in the pool area - even though the pavilion area near the pool is filled with garbage. No water balls except for 'soakers' which are heavier when soaked and would hurt more if taken to the head! Lifeguard at the pool wore sweatpants and was covered in a blanket looking hungover. Not sure how she'd save anyone?! Beach area is small but nice - but having to get out every hour is ridiculous. Lifeguards are constantly blowing their whistle and yelling at people but allow kids to splash each other violently and throw sand. One day my wife and kids couldn't stay at the beach because they had 3 bus loads of kids from an outside day camp and they ran around like animals unsupervised. Overall okay experience but needs improvements. - Thinkr2
Planned this trip to visit family in the area. A majority of sites are permanent. The so-called overnight sites are very close and unlevel. I attempted to sit under my awning and the smell coming from the neighbor's sewer hookup (5' away) drove me back inside. We'll be staying at the state park nearby in the future. - laughing.crone
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Fish Lake Beach Camping Resort »As others have mentioned, this has a very charming, mid century feel to it. The lake is a wonderful amenity. The staff was helpful and friendly. The majority of the campground is taken up with park models, seasonals and rentals. The overnight section is small. We have a 43 foot motorhome and jeep tow and found this place to be very challenging. To say it is big rig friendly is just not accurate. Low hanging branches at entrance had the tv antennae spinning and the vents and AC units scraping. The check in area across from the lake was very congested. Kids running everywhere and no great place to queue. Found out later that the campground beach and beach amenities are open to the public, for a fee, and not exclusive to the registered guests. After registering, you need to loop back to where you started to find your site. Tight, narrow roads. No good place to unhook your toad, or hook back up. Our back in site was just long enough for the rig, the toad went sideways in the street. The site was uphill, too steep to have the leveling jacks do any good. The right rear jack sunk eight inches into the gravel base. The water connection is located on the site behind you, which you share. No chance for satellite, not even using the portable. No cable. Over the air channels were 8 lousy stations and Fox, and with all of them the picture tiled badly. The only saving grace was the Internet, which was excellent. The charm wore off with a visit to the restroom. They are old, and not in a good way. Mosquito infested. Tried to take a shower but gave up after five bites. Ingress and egress off of busy Highway 12 is a challenge. - VegasVagabonds

Rating: 7 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: A nice little park in the middle of an Illinois corn field. There are trees, a pond, playground, tent sites and about 24 pull-through RV sites. The entrance and sites are gravel – not all are level front to back and across. To exit, you pull through your site onto the grass field around the back of other sites to the gravel road out. That is the only drawback for us because it RAINED and RAINED the 3 days before we left. That made the field very soggy. We and the owner determined that to drive across the field was not the best route out. Luckily, we had an empty site directly across and behind our rig. The owners’ staff assisted us with our exit so that any damage to the grass was minimal. Proximity to the location for the movie: Groundhog Day, Woodstock’s town square and environs, was a plus, as well. - zen_letitbe
This is a funky little campground set well off the road on a family farm. The pull through sites look like back in sites at first glance, but the idea is to pull in and face a large lawn area which is used to pull out. Staff is very friendly, the park is quiet, with a fair proportion of seasonal campers. There is a swimming/fishing pond, table and fire ring at each site, and decent room between sites. Wi-Fi works well, but there is a $2 daily fee for Wi-Fi. The park is close enough to Chicago for antenna TV reception. Some of the overnight sites may require a bit of work to level your rig, but I've seen worse. We would stay here again. - DrLewie
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Willoaks Campground »This is a small family owned campground positioned on a 100+ acre farm. It is clean and well maintained. Although the spaces between sites is small, it has a beautiful little swimming lake and has lots of open space around it. It is set back from the road by a long lane. It is busy on the weekends with family campers, but during the week is very tranquil. The manager is very accommodating and helpful. Woodstock is a very quaint small town (the movie Ground Hog Days was filmed there) with a large Wal-Mart, and a town square. There was good Wi-Fi and we got an excellent Verizon signal on our cellphone. There is an small charge for Wi-Fi and electricity if you are on the weekly rate. - sunbadgers

Rating: 3 7 9 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Maybe I just happened to pick a bad weekend, but this first visit to this campground was completely miserable. Perhaps had I come to tent camp and never expected to leave the campground the whole weekend, I'd have a different opinion. First the good points-- nice graveled campsites (and all have electric), plenty of shade and privacy between the sites in this heavily wooded campground, fairly clean bathhouse, and a nice lake nearby. If you happen to be a resident of DuPage county, the $20/night rate is not bad either. Sadly, the good points end there. The campground is located at the very back of the park and requires driving over 6 large speed bumps to come and go. The campground roads are narrow gravel with tight turns and hills. Most sites are only suitable for tents, pop-ups, vans, or RVs less than 25'. The only available water is from non-threaded spigot pumps. The dump station is small and tilted the wrong way to empty most RV tanks. The campground is only open 2 or 3-night weekends from May through Sept. But perhaps the biggest negative-- both the campground and forest preserve gates are closed and locked just after sunset every night. If you want to enjoy a nice dinner beyond the park boundaries, or visit friends in the area, forget about it! One final negative-- when I visited, the park was literally overwhelmed with mosquitoes. So bad I had to wear a bug jacket to cover my head and upper body! In the future, I'll stay at the Kane Co. Forest Preserve campgrounds-- much MUCH nicer parks that have been built with RVers in mind. - WinnieViews
This park is a bit hard to locate. It is actually located in Warrenville. Any RV campground in the Chicago is a rarity so even with some drawbacks we were glad to find this one. It is a large, beautiful and heavily-wooded oasis in a pretty congested area. Staff very friendly. Restrooms were immaculate even with heavy usage on a holiday weekend. The drawbacks are: (1) it is only open for Fri. and Sat. night camping except on holidays, (2) no and or sewer connections and the few water spigots will not allow for a hose to be connected so to fill your tank requires carrying water in containers to your RV. Sites are level and very spacious with site #64 being best located for the restrooms with showers. One unusual plus is that those over 65 get 1 free weekend per year. We would camp here again. - judb
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Blackwell Family Campground »We've been visiting Blackwell for almost 40 years, but this is the first time we've camped there. We only live about 7 miles from there so it's an easy weekend. This is an oasis in the middle of suburbia. Heavily wooded sites, with level crushed gravel pads and now, electric at all sites, according to the attendant at the gatehouse. There are no water or sewer hookups, but there are spigots throughout the park. There is an adequate dump station, although it is not all that level, so your tanks may not fully empty. I remarked to my wife that whether we traveled three hours to Wisconsin or drove 7 miles to Blackwell, the end result is the same. Quiet camping in a lovely area. The one downside to this campground is that it's only open on weekends, except for holiday weeks when it's open for the entire week. Also making reservations entails calling the District HQ and booking over the phone. There is a three day reservation window which pretty much eliminates spur of the moment camping. The camping permits arrive by snail mail, so very last century. Still, it adds to the charm I suppose. We'll be back often. In the summer the crowds in Wisconsin can be frustrating, so this is a nice alternative if you just want a quiet weekend to camp without dealing with all the traffic. - baraff

Rating: 7 1 8 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The desk staff (a woman) was nice when we got there and checked in. The grumpy man who took us to our site was another story. We were put in the area with other big rigs and the spot was dirty. Cigarette butts were all around. A fee is charged for day visitors. With as many permanent residents as they seem to have I can understand; for someone from out of state it seems crazy to nickel and dime you. The water pressure was ok, no cable. Didn't use bathroom or laundry-they again wanted a fee. If you need a place around Chicago to stay to go do other things this might work. - HitNdaRd
The owner is very disagreeable! Our plans changed and we had to leave a day early. No refunds. (Them there are the rules.) Said he'd "consider" a refund but we knew it wasn't happening. Wanted to let him know my husband had just gotten out of the hospital but it wouldn't have mattered. Not one good interaction with him. The park itself is well maintained and lovely. The older section is very tight and had many perms. We stayed in the big rig section. - BobBonS

Rules, rules, rules with a side of rules. This park has more rules than any other we have stayed including Yellowstone. We arrived just after 10pm due to an issue with a flat tire. We had communicated along the way that we would be cutting it close due to the issue. This is the first rule we had to deal with (No arrivals past 10pm). We were greeted by a surly gentlemen who promptly informed me that my wife could go into the office to check us in but I needed to pull my 40ft 5th wheel back around because I was too far to the left. He said I needed to u-turn around the office, exit the park and come back in. Never mind the fact that there was a policeman doing paperwork in the right lane which I didn't want to box in. I refused to move and the man's wife eventually told me that I would be ok where I was. It took my wife 20 mins to check in largely due to the presentation of the rules of the park. There are some 24-27 rules that you need to acknowledge. Pulling in, the sites were tight and getting my rig in was a chore. The sites were not well taken care of either. The grass was long and the above ground fire pit was full of ash/burnt wood and trash. No water hookups and only 30 amp service. The park itself doesn't offer much in terms of activities and would be more aptly named chain-o-swamps as water access is minimal due to the marshy wetland area in which the park resides. Bring ample bug spray or you may need a transfusion when you get home. Pit toilets in the campground. Shower facilities were a hike. - Ben Keethler
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Chain-O-Lakes State Park »Stayed here while visiting Chicago. People in the check-in building were very friendly. Showers were clean, but the type of shower heads and water pressure was awful. They shower head was too high, so you barely got any water on you unless you are very tall. Also its the annoying push button type. The mosquitos were HORRIBLE!!!! We could not even sit outside. Each night before going to bed we had to kill mosquitos inside our camper. Approx. 10-20.I know the campground is surrounded by water, but surely they could could fog/spray throughout the campground occasionally. Also did not like the gritty stuff on the site.It rained while we were there and it was hard to keep from tracking it in the camper. We will not he returning here. - Gary Stanton
