Our stay was great! As great as the light show was, I miss the more haunted night time version of the hayride in past years for the Halloween theme weekends. It was still a fun time. This is our favorite campground and the owners/employees are great too!

The employees and hosts were very nice, prompt and accommodating. My son and I had an amazing time. We will definitely be returning. Very clean pool and bathrooms. Showers never ran out of hot water. Plenty of kids around which was awesome because my son is an only child. Great activities for the kids. Friendly campers. The entire experience was perfect. Thank you all for the amazing experience!!

We had a wonderful stay. The bathroom and showers were amazing. The campground is very nice and clean. The only thing I would change if the fire pits. they are way to deep and it was extremely difficult to keep our fire lit, finally giving up. I noticed around the campground people had lifted and placed rocks under the fire pits for some air flow. I would replace those fire pits or lift them.

Camping was great...staff was wonderful and very supportive... however, the firewood was wet or green, I'm not sure but it didn't want to ignite. ... I had to make cowboy coffee with kindling.

This KOA is a wonderful spot to camp. Our group had a great weekend. There were plenty of activities for the kids and the dog. Quiet hours were strictly enforced which created a peaceful & enjoyable experience for everyone. The amenities are very well taken care of and it’s clear the owners and employees love this campground. We will be back!

I found a lot more shade than most campsites - even KOA ones - than I was used to (a good thing). The staff was very helpful. The site was quiet and clean

Everyone was so nice ! It was a quiet and well maintained campground. We’ve been to a lot of KOAs in the last month and this was one of our favorites! They also have their office open late so it’s very convenient!

Staff was very nice professional. The campsite for tents were very well maintained and clean. I was very happy with my stay. And the staff taking there time to pickup garbage and delivering wood was a big plus. Thank you kankakee South koa!

Primitive campers will have difficulty sourcing water if the RV sites are all hooked up. There are no standpipes available to anyone other than RV's. Also the restrooms are located furthest from the tent sites. The pool/showers/restrooms/site was clean and neat. Quiet at night too. The staff were helpful and friendly; they even guide you to your site and will deliver firewood.

No activities planned at all for any age group until October, by the way they close in October.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

The state of Illinois fully reopened to pre-Covid levels on June 11. Out of an abundance of caution, we are holding off on planned activities until 4th of July weekend. The pool, playground, and game room are open and our Halloween weekends are our most popular dates of the year.

I didn’t like that campsite one was by a huge asphalt rubble pile. During the day when the sun heats up that pile is smells very strong like tar. The pavilion behind it has a lot of potential, but looks like a junk storage pile ? It wasn’t worth $47 to stay at campsite 1. The smell of the asphalt make me feel light headed especially in 90 degree weather. Just a thought.

It was a great experience! We enjoyed everything we just were expecting a little bit of activities, or a minigolf or something to do besides our own plans

great accommodation! Clean bathrooms and over all very nice. The game room could use a makeover though :)

The primitive site, & facilities were better than we imagined it to be never having camped at a KOA before. Thank you for a beautiful stay. Your staff were absolutely amazing, my family and friends can't wait to revisit.

Best place to camp that's not super far from the suburbs, I've been coming here with a large group for over 15 years and it gets better each year. Lots of memories to be made. Owner and staff are amazing

This is by far the best campground to do Halloween at! They go above and beyond. Kids absolutely love it and so do the adults!
