Campground Reviews

Unfortunately there had just been several inches of snow. The campsite needed to be plowed out a little wider. But I know this was an unusual occurrence, so I am thankful they were able to be open so we had a place to stay.

Even with the snow it was beautiful as always

Cabin was great. The AC/Heating unit was problematic. Although it did keep the cabin warm (very well) I believe something is wrong with it. No matter if it was on auto or set fan speed it would kick in for roughly 30 seconds then off for a couple minutes. This lasted all night long making it hard to get a good solid night sleep. But at least it was warm! Thanks.

We had A beautiful spot right off of the pond it had a nice area plenty of seating with a nice fire pit that you cook it was just very relaxing and serene on the pond area. We are stopping back by in about two weeks and had requested that spot once again

Beautiful setting. We only stayed one night, but had big RV trouble in the morning during a rain storm. The guys there saved us! They were so kind, knowledgeable, helpful. I will head there again .........a very nice campground!

This is the second time we have stopped at the Benton KOA and we would stop again. There is plenty of room to walk the dog and a small dog park. We like the sites across the road from the office, they're father from the highway. We use the facilities in our motorhome and so cannot comment on their facilities.

Very nice KOA, large level sites, great staff. Our go to place when we travel through IL.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. WiFi wasn't working after we got setup, called the office, personnel came right out and got the problem fixed. Would love to come back in the summer for a stay.

Very friendly staff. They are making upgrades to the grounds. They put us in a site farther away from freeway noise which we appreciated! Nice scenery by the pond.

Very nice staff and very clean bathrooms.

Bathrooms totally inconvenient for campers only needing electric hookup. Breaker flipped twice on a very cold wet night since it rained all night.

It's is a very friendly and beautiful atmosphere to be at. Couldn't ask for a cleaner or a better place to stay. I would recommend Benton KOA to everyone. We stayed in one of the cabins and it was beautiful inside and out. We want to say thank you to the owners and staff for making sure everything was good.

Great customer service, even on New Year's Day! My husband even got his hair cut. We stayed an extra night because of the snowy/icy weather but were able to do laundry.

Google maps got us lost. Definitely need to follow written directions they email you. It was hard to find. Once we found our site it was a nice spot. We were right on the pond. We had a nice wooden swing and fire pit overlooking the pond. Some road noise but not bad. Our site was secluded somewhat. Cable was good. WiFi subpar. Overall it was a good stay. We’d stay there again.

We arrived after dark and campground was difficult to navigate. Site was uneven and low-lying. Unattractive by day. Just did not have that welcoming vibe at all.

We stayed in the deluxe studio cabin. Hot water, extremely comfortable beds, very clean, very cozy. Definitely planning a trip back!

We stopped here on our way south. Nice park for an overnight stay. We had a nice pull through site, easy to get in and out of.

We arrived after hours and we had an envelope with everything we needed waiting for us. It as easy to get to and very well layed out. The gentleman came down to check on us to see if we needed anything. Wonderful experience!

We were in site 73. Beautiful setting overlooking a small pond. Even though it was a cool December evening we enjoyed sitting in the swing under the exotic trees.

Little bit of noise from the highway. Open year round, which is great. Sites are gravel and pretty level.

Is there a better place to stay the night than KOA? Nope. And this one's really good. Always love it.

We stayed for one night while passing through. The campground and spots were very easy to get in and out of. The lady in the office was very nice. She upgraded us to a pond front site for no charge which was great bc it was really close to the playground.
