The KOA was nice and the people were incredibly friendly, but it is located very close to the highway with very loud truck traffic.

Quick in and out on our way home. Site was super level and host was great. Very interesting site and can't recommend enough for people get out and visit Benton itself. Locals are super friendly and great little winery just up the road. Would be a great site for a couple RVs traveling together as the patio configuration lends itself to groups getting together. Will be back!

The campground was another 6 miles from the exit. Driving in a motorhome through the streets of Benton was precarious.

It is close to the highway so it's a bit noisy but not too noisy to get a good night's sleep. The man I checked in with was very nice and escorted me to my site, which was level and long enough with room to spare. Nice little store and fantastic WiFi. I will definitely stay there again.

We stayed in a deluxe cabin and loved the set up and bed. Also very clean and enjoyed a fire. Staff was also great and very hospitable.

We have been staying at the Benton KOA every other year as we travel from Michigan to Texas and back. It is exactly in the middle of our trip. I appreciate how clean everything is and after hours check in is very simple and easy!

Very friendly, Great location for KOA Journey, near Walmart. Near Rend lake. We stayed a few days to get our camper organized in mid December. Quiet that time of year, We were placed by the pond which was quite nice. Will stay there again.

Nice and quiet

Glad to find a campground open all year! Small KOA very close to the interstate, so it’s loud. WiFi worked really well; we were even able to stream Disney+. Clean restrooms. Dump station closed for the winter. Though office hours were listed as 9-5, it was closed and dark when we arrived at 4:50. The check-in email didn’t arrive until after we left the next morning.

Very close to highway noisy. Very clean,

We’ve stayed here several times in the off season on our way to Texas. Until this stay, we never knew about the really nice sites across the road from the office. My only complaint is that the directions to the sites are not clearly marked, especially for after dark arrivals. Other than that, Benton KOA fits our overnight travel needs in the off season.

This was our first KOA. As such, I can’t do a comparison however we plan on returning as we appreciated the hospitality and facilities.

We love this KOA. We always stay on the pond side and it is peaceful. The shower house is nice and always clean.
Nov 22, 2022
Ok stay, some upkeep needed. Showers gave alternating hot/cold water, unacceptable. My wife and I could not shower. Also, no one available to discuss with, office empty. Never again!

Highly recommend. Checking was so easy. They even iffered to bring firewood and ice to our site. All personnel were friendly and helpful. Get the site by the river. Beautiful.

Small but clean journey, read lots of reviews about the road noise, which is present, however if you want a quick on/off spot for the night, this fits the bill. We RV full-time so road noise is not anything we even pay attention to any more! Staff was friendly, site fit our 36' Class A + tow without a problem. Follow KOA directions not GPS, and you will save yourself a ride through town:)

Very pleasant. Wonderful personnel. Loved our cabin. Looking forward to our next stay. Thanks Ed for a good stay.

Karen is very unprofessional. I got site 50, surging and then triggered GFI outlets. Moved to another site after not hearing from anybody after leaving emergency voicemails. Karen argued with me saying I never left them. Why would a VIP status lie? And I thought the customer is always right. Do not stay here. Go to the state park and other campgrounds in the area. Still waiting for my refund.

Just an overnight stay but a perfect location. The campground host is friendly and efficient. Beautiful outdoor surroundings and easy in and out. We have stayed there twice and found it to be a quiet, safe respite after traveling many miles down south and back.

They were very nice and worked with us on last limited changes

We had a wonderful pull thru RV site with a beautiful patio area. It was far ore than we expected. Our pup loved Camp K-9 and would have spent all of her time roaming free there if we would have let her. The bathrooms and showers were also impeccably clean and spacious. We will be back!

Only there for 2 nights, but this was my second visit.

We’ve stayed here a couple times and have nothing but good things to say about this KOA. The cabin we stayed in was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and the water was hot! Going to stay on the pond next time and add a couple days and just fish!

This was our 3rd stay in Benton. As always it was a great stay. The staff is so friendly. Our site overlooking the water was awesome. Sad they weren't serving BBQ sandwiches, maybe next time. This is a great stop over leaving or going to Chicago. We keep saying we will come back and spend more time here. One of these trips it will happen. Best recommendation I can give is "we'll be back again"!

We had a pond view site. It was great except the area around our utilities had mud/standing water.
Nov 04, 2022
Always enjoyable! Great stop over on the way south. Pleasantly surprised by parks improvements.

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.
