I stay here fairly frequently and have stayed in pretty much every cabin at this point. I also stay in KOA cabins around the country. These are very top rate. Not all are. Having a microwave and fridge in even the camping cabins (no bath cabins) is a real plus as is an extra couple of seats and reliable internet. I had none of those at the one in Georgia last night. Keep up the great work Benton.

Great scenic view of the pond. Although raining we were able to our dogs out for a walk. Gentleman saw us and took us directly to our site. Very friendly and accommodating. We had a great stay aside of the rain.

This was not our first stay here. We called ahead to ask for a specific tree’d spot because it was cold and due to be windy. The gentleman on the phone took very good care of us. Our stay was indeed bitter cold but we enjoyed our spot by the pond and letting the dogs exercise off leash. Bathrooms were warm and very clean.

Convenient location for our trips to and from the south. Very friendly staff! We had to stay an extra night due to winter storm but owners helped fill our propane and offered extra help if need since it was well below freezing temperatures. 4 stars for the campground because we have only been here in the off season. Highly recommend!

One of our favorite stops. When traveling in winter and water system is winterized Benton KOA has clean, warm restrooms. Staff is great. Nice to have propane available.

Friendly, accommodating staff. Clean bathroom. Only problem was accessing the WIFI.

Very nice park with large pull throughs. Easy hookups. The staff is very accommodating. Easy access from I-57 but also traffic noise from I-57. We were there in January so the leaves were off the trees contributing to the noise.

Wish I could give it a four and a half. The grounds and cabin are clean: I love having the dog park. We didn't get to use amenities since it was winter in Illinois, and we stayed twice en route to another destination. With fewer check-ins and short days, I understand limited office hours. After-hours check-in was clear, but it would have been nice to have a call box in case we had questions.

Nice campground. Dog friendly. Great customer service.

Very nice KOA. The staff was also nice, as well.... My only complaint is the site I was in was very uneven for a motorhome, and aside from my leveling system, I had to also use 2 leveling boards so that my tires would not be off the ground.

Very friendly staff. Good for a night, just a little to close to the highway..

The site was advertised as having full-hookups, but the water was turned off in the campground. When we got there around 3:30 PM, the office was closed and there was no staff, so there was no way to get the water turned on. It's poor customer service to not let campers know if there is no water when the site is advertised as having water. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend this campground.

Very friendly and friendly staff. We were only there for one night but everyone was great and the store was clean as was the campground.

Very good.

Disappointed. The bathrooms and showers did not have hot water due to a gas leak? The campground hosts were awesome.

Came to town for the Thanksgiving holiday. Traveling from Texas with our Catahoula. The cabin was wonderful I wish it had a bigger bed but other than that it was great
Nov 27, 2023
Convenient, it was on our way. Sadly no hot water in bathroom, even after 7 or 8 minutes. Cute place with creek though and it was clean.

Just a suggestion: if you have a coffee maker in the room, and filters, you should probably provide coffee. Hair in the toilet, dead jug in the bathroom sink. I usually love KOA cabins. This was the odd one out.

We specifically called 4 hours ahead to be sure bathhouses were open, as our rig is still winterized. We were told yes, the bathhouses were open. Went to shower in the morning, let the water run a LONG time, standing naked in the cold water for 10 minutes. NO HOT WATER. Also, we were not able to wash our hands with warm water after using the toilet. It was a very filthy start to our day.

It was not good. The person running it just wanted to leave. He just told us to go to a certain spot. When we got there the stench in the air was awful. Nobody was there to help us move to another spot. We had paid already and didn’t know if we could change our spot. We couldn’t even sit outside the the smell was so bad. Not a friendly place.

This is a great campground and the staff is super friendly and helpful!

Easy to access off highway. Mixed up my reservation dates but it was fixed by the kind staff! Thank you!
Nov 21, 2023
Overpriced, and the pond needed to be cleaned, slips are too close to each other.

We stayed overnight and it was very nice! The manager moved us closer to the bathrooms since we had littles and the bathrooms were clean as well! Nice quick stay!
Nov 20, 2023
The bathrooms could have had hot water, a cold shower in November was painful.

We arrived after dark and left at first light so didn’t see much! Turned in wrong entrance on arrival! A better sign would help those unfamiliar and arriving late. We figured it out! Sites however were well marked even in the dark. Water and electric hookups all great. We were almost on the highway but are used to that with KOA - it was pretty noisy. Great for overnight.

Quick stop on our travels. Gentleman in office very pleasant and helpful.

This is a good RV park for one to two nights very close to Rend Lake Recreation. Facilities - ok.

Without a doubt - the KINDEST staff of any KOA my husband or I have been to. We stayed for the Eclipse and we're welcomed with a late check-in and amazing service from Becky the following day. Excellent amenities and our children LOVED the parks. If you're considering staying I am confident they are more accommodating than anyone in the area.

We spent a week traveling from Ohio to Kentucky and to Illinois, we stayed at KOAs exclusively and this was by far the most amazing KOA we have been at, and genuinely one of the best campgrounds we've camped at. The staff was friendly, the owner was wonderful, and the pond view was just awesome. This is a hidden gem of Benton for sure.
