  • Cross-Country Stopover - Taking the classic Mt. Rushmore to Niagara Falls summer road trip? Kankakee South KOA is a great stopping point, keeping your caravan out of the heart of rush-hour traffic and the aggravation it brings.
  • Your group retreat or reunion will be welcomed by classic Midwestern hospitality. Close enough to the action and far away enough to enjoy the peace and quiet.
