Very friendly and caring staff at check in. Friendly staff throughout stay answering my questions. So glad to have cabin with shower and bathroom. The bed had the best mattress I have ever slept on (better than any hotel I have been in). Thank you for a GREAT campout. Fire pit large and appreciated. Grounds well cared for. Nice areas to walk and enjoy lake.

I enjoyed the entire stay. The only thing that was a minor issue was the sewer connection in the ground was a little high which was higher than my connection causing it to be up hill.

Our site was very unlevel, not what we expect from a koa. The washroom building was under construction and was a big inconvenience as we were so far away from the other bathhouse. We were told there was one shower available but the bathhouse was so dirty they shouldn't be used.Something going on with the water as well. Full of black stuff. It clogged up our filter.off season but expect better!

We appreciate your feedback, Site 305 is one of our most requested sites, the only pull thru on the fish pond. During your visit we were performing our seasonal water startup in accordance with IDEM guidelines which does include sanatizing and flushing of all pipes.

Très beau terrain de camping, c’est malheureux qu’on soit resté qu’une journée,mais nous y retournerons.

I have been using koa cabins for years. The cabin we stayed in was listed as a deluxe cabin but did not meet the normal level of koa cabins. The heat was inadequate probably due to the grate in the floor that you could see outside. Most of the electrical outlets were non functional. The shower head was hanging from the wall. The TV was not working correctly. No amenities in the kitchen. And other.

People running this place need terminated. They make up lies about their customers and tell untrue things about finances to people. Even if I wanted to come back, I wouldn’t because of the management team. They owe my husband and I an apology for lying to our son about us. Please share! Happy for others to read this and protect themselves from the drama. Would love to elaborate more.

Overpriced, the staff is very rude. Half of the campground is flooded.

We understand your frustration after deciding to cancel your seasonal site after the deadline. Angola did receive more rain in 8 days this spring then all of 2024.

Stay was as good as expected. Office staff very friendly and site was clean. Workers driving carts around need to slow down as everything is not a race. Trash pickup slow but it was the off season so I'm sure staffing not at peak yet. WiFi still not up to par and have been told every year for the last four years I've stayed here that they are working on it. I will stay again.

We appreciate your kind feedback during the winter stay. Wifi across 45 Acres can be difficult. We are working with our current contractor as well as exploring more options to better meet the park and camper needs of 2025!

We are in the process or looking for a new wifi provider to increase guest satisfaction, We thank you for your patients as we find ways to better improve the park.

Very disappointed. We had stayed for many years on our way home at this park when it was Circle B. We came in with a 42ft fifth wheel for an over night stay and had to back in on some small site not suitable for that size rv. We were told nothing else available when we got there at 11:00 in morning although there was at least one spot on a pull thru that evening and when we left at 6:45 am.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize for your dissatisfaction, We did accommodate you same day on a 50' Long back in At the time of your arrival a reservation existed for all other pull thru sites. We hope in the future we are able to better accommodate you with our limited winter sites.

We are looking forward to posting images of our newly renovated bath house to better meet our campers needs. New fixtures, better hvac and ventilation, and faster hot water times! Thank you for your patients and pardoning of the work as we improve our facilities.

Great Campground with tons of amenities. Beautiful views, wish we had more time to spend there than a quick overnight.

We use your campground for an overnight stay while traveling. It is clean, the sites are large pull-throughs and the people are always friendly and helpful.

Just stayed 1 night, but the camp site was awsome. We travelled the U.S the last 5 months and this place was in our top 3 sites.

Beautiful park. So spacious. Great place for families.

Was disappointed we were placed between a motorhome and trailer with big piles of junk and garbage outside of the units. (site #103) We did not want to go outside because of this, and the office was already closed. Luckily we were just passing through the area. We drove through the campground and it looks like it would be nice in season.

We appreciate your feedback, We have extremely limited winter sites with water service all year long, we were happy to hear we were able to fit you in for your stay. Many of our winter campers are here on a weekly or monthly basis. We hope you swing by during our main season.

We arrived last minute from Texas to a great pull thru site with running water and 50 amp service. It was very cold and a recent rain and ice storm welcomed us coming from the south. Very nice experience.

We appreciate your feedback during your winter stay. We are happy you made it in safely with the icy conditions. Travelers link you are why we keep a few sites open all year long.

Highly recommend staying here. We were able to enjoy full hook ups in January. The gentleman we spoke with on the phone when we inquired about staying was very kind and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again when in the area next.

Rented a cabin for 2 nights with 3 others and cannot say enough about our stay. Staff was great and helped out on a few small issues. The cabin was so cozy and warm, and everything was right there for us. Thank you for everything!!!

Everything was good but our water line froze up from the heating plug didn’t work.

Great location just a few hours from Chicago and plenty of activities for kids. They're open year-round, unlike other Midwest campgrounds. In the winter, you almost have the place to yourself. I suggest that you pack your own drinking water. The sulfur smell in the tap water is strong.

Great site and the staff was fantastic!!

Our pipes froze in our cabin and the team went above and beyond to try and fix it for us and make it right. There was nothing that could have been done on their part to prevent this and I know they ensured the cabin had running water prior to our stay because we did for a bit. They had every single maintenance person on the issue and comped our stay and gave us an upgrade. They were amazing!

glad to find a place ,but without amenities except electric hook up ,very pricy, and a very long walk to a rest room

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate your winter stay, and were glad we could find a space for you without a reservation. Our water in our winter sites stays on all year with our heated frost free spigots, and our bath/ laundry is open 24/7. We recommend having a reservation to meet your specific camping needs better.

Was difficult checking in. No answer on all 3 numbers, but got there in the end and Barb was very nice.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Both of our after hours phones show no attempted calls during your stay, Our office hours in winter are 11A to 4P. and our 24 hour reservations call center does not show a call from the number we have on file for you. Please reach out to 2606655353 so we can assist with your concern.

Would have given you a 5 star rating, but the wifi was not working during our stay.
Nov 22, 2024
Staff was friendly & helpful. Water frontage was beautiful, spacious, peaceful with multiple docks. Buildings were well maintained. The reason we rated so low & are unlikely to recommend staying there is because of the multitudes of seasonal & annual renters who have been allowed to personalize their sites with outbuildings, lawn ornaments/furniture, self built patios/fences & plan ol’ junk.

Hogback KOA is a unique campground with a large number of sites both long term and short term stay. Our long term guests contribute to a great camping atmosphere and community often supporting our great seasonal activities like cornhole tournaments, bingo, and live music performances.

Stay was great. Would only suggest updating the text messages that go out if possible. They were conflicting with times the camp store was actually open.

Nice campground. Very large lake and quite a few sites. Late season stay so really didn't get chance to explore everything. Nice staff. Very clean shower house.

We were thrilled to find out this KOA is open in January, as we were in a pinch needing a place to stay with hook ups. They were very friendly when we called for info. They had everything all set up and super easy to pick your spot and settle in. Very accommodating and friendly. Will definitely stay here again when we are in the area!

Our pipes in our cabin froze (in December) and the team went above and beyond to correct the issue for us! They did everything possible to correct it, and they were super professional and nice when I first reported it, and they got on it ASAP and offered a discount for our inconvenience without me having to ask or complain. When the issue couldn't be resolved in a timely manner, they gave us an upgrade in another cabin and comped our stay. The whole team was great and even though the situation sucked and inconvenienced us, they were obviously doing everything they could possibly do which included digging under the cabin, using heaters on the pipes, and a camera to diagnose the problem. This was our second stay here and we will absolutely be returning!

Great place to get away for the weekend from Chicago. The amenities are good for kids and I love that it's open year-round. My only small complaint is the golf cart traffic on the weekends during the summer.
