Campground Reviews

Location is good, staff was friendly, site was adequate, facilities like pool and other areas are in severe need of maintenance. Many areas, paint is extremely faded and flaking. Guard rail over creek is rickety and waiting for an accident resulting in injury or worse.

Managers were very nice but campground is a mess. Pool has no water in it and the pool area is a total disaster. the roads in the campground are terrible and the grounds in general by the office side looks like its been closed down for a long time The whole campground need vast improvement We stay at KOA's offen and they have always been great but not this one.

We had a beautiful spot on the small lake. It had a huge brand new picnic table and a beautiful log glider and large fire pit with benches. Very serene…..a hidden gem

Clean, quiet sites. Too early in the season to rate amenities, but we'd definitely come back.

One of the nicest campgrounds we've been to. Cabin was clean and nice. People are friendly. Had a restful stay there.

We love the Benton KOA. We have stayed here twice a year for many years. The facility is great and the people are very friendly and helpful.

We spent only one night at Benton, just passing through. We felt badly for the older lady that was managing everything. She has lost most of her help. Grounds were okay. Luckily we were away from the highway traffic.

Nice park, secluded in the woods. Only problem was that it’s right next to the interstate. Overall, a good stay.

Tend to stop in for a night while driving to/from Fl. Just at a glance looks like lots of improvements being made. Always friendly staff and clean facilities.

Super friendly & accommodating! Surrounded by a bamboo grove and a pond - an oasis in Illinois!!

Very clean and pleasant management

Barely adequate for an overnight stay. Despite park being mostly empty we were placed in a site furthest from restrooms and closet to interstate noise. WIFI useless if more than 50 feet from office so we had no access from our site. Facilities were basic but clean. Not the standards we expect at a KOA.

Arrived about and our paperwork was ready, and had a nice long pull in spot. Not happy about wyfi…didn’t work at all!

Boomed online Deluxe patio site. No solid surface patio had limestone that was impossible not to track in Motorhome. Sewer inlet 1 foot above ground and higher than outlet on Motorhome. Beware pulling in or out big incline so front and back may scrape the payment. The place has junk scattered everywhere. Will not be staying there again. Paid top site price and received second rate site.

Hi, hate it that you didn't enjoy your stay was trying to cleanup. I've got everything cleanedup and looking great now. Very short handed doing the best I can. If you decide to come back hope you see a defference. Thank You Karen

Great campground conveniently located near the interstate. Sites are large, and the team is very friendly.

Fantastic staff, great location, clean facilities, ample room at the site. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great RV resting place. We were just passing through, but would have loved to stay longer (maybe when the weather warms up)!

Always a pleasant and quiet stay. We stayed in Cabin 1 and it was clean and the cabin bathroom was spacious and lots of hot water! The bed was firm and you have room on both sides to enter and exit the bed. The porch is large and this cabin is handicap accessible. We will be back, again!

Very nice people. We needed to stay a few hours later then normal checkout and they were very gracious about letting us at no additional charge. I would definitely recommend this campground.

Beautiful KOA. More space between sites than most Journeys .

The staff was so friendly. They say they treat everyone as family and they do. We were in town to care for a relative in Benton. Since our away from our RV time would be long, the owner's father offered us to park nearest his home to keep an eye on our trailer. Very comforting. But super friendly people. Feb in Illinois the camp ground is pretty quiet. So yes, absolutely recommend.

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.
