I was greeted warmly and registered right away. I didn't have a reservation but was able to get a tent site. I was just passing through so I didn't use many amenities but the site was clean, safe and just what I needed.

GREAT STAFF! Beautiful place. Right against the freeway, so noisy.

Great location. Close to lots of great attractions.

Very nice. Pool looked great. Came in from the North, tough time finding. Highway marked and neither was roadway. But felt very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Price was good.

The campground was conveniently located close to the interstate for a one-night stay. The ground was swarming with ants. The restroom floor was flooded with water when we went to shower. Not clean. A little disappointing compared to other KOAs we’ve stayed at.

It was fine. We were just spending the night so it was fine. Nice property but lots of freeway noise

Karen, whom I think is the owner, was great. Campground had everything you need. They need to update their website, as they don’t serve food on the property any longer.

We've been going there for 14 yrs now. Absolutely love it! We know the owner, her late husband, and their children, and they are the most wonderful people!! We love going down there! Just wish we had more time to spend there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BENTON KOA!!

Only stayed overnight but shower house was nasty and backed up. If you don’t have to use it, you would be fine. Sites on the side of the road with the office can be tight for a larger rig & difficult to turn around. Book the full hookup sites across the road for ease of stay.

The staff was very friendly to assist us with a late check in for 1 night during our travels. The spot worked for our needs and we were able to get a good night's rest. The bathrooms were clean although they do need to be updated and the men's room had an odd smell.

Staff are super friendly and guide you to your site. Sites are gravel but not too unlevel. Laundromat need work - dirty and multiple machines not working. Sleep wasn’t the best due to road noise and multiple trains blowing horns throughout the night. This isn’t anything koa can control but just an fyi for light sleepers.

Great one night stay at Benton KOA. We needed a last minute RV site due to storms and flooding at our original reserved KOA and Benton KOA was able to accommodate us. Super nice and helpful for these weary travelers that needed a place to rest our heads:)

Grounds need to be better kept up. Weeds growing in many areas, more gravel needed in pull thru area/buddy site. Bathrooms not that clean.

The staff were friendly upon arrival. The pull through site was ample sized and quiet. The pond view was pretty. There were paddle boats to use, but we didn’t have time to use them. We saw a young man fishing on the dock every day. It was a pleasant place to stay. We enjoyed walking in the park downtown with our dogs.

It was dirty and very run down. Dog poop all over our site, kids cutting thru our site all night long. Just not a very pleasurable camping experience

This is our favorite campground. If you are on the lakeside it is absolutely beautiful. We actually saw a doe standing watching us. We thought it was a statue until it moved. It was healthy, gorgeous and happy in its environment.

Easy after hours check in. Owners very accommodating.

Across the street from the office is much nicer than the office side. Sites need to be better maintained and bathroom needs a facelift. Pool is nice.

Park is a little difficult to find…in a very small town. But it was a lovely campground with fishing lakes and nicely kept grounds. Staff is small but friendly.

It was only an overnight rest stop but here is an honest review of what I saw. All the sites are overgrown and the bathrooms need to be gutted and refurbished.

The only problem were ticks the people are friendly and welcoming

We were late check in so there was no interaction with the staff. The campground appeared unkept and in need of TLC. The guests on the upper hill seemed rather sketchy. Truck loaded with junk and trash around the trailers. Our site was not level and needed gravel.

Dog poop in the campsite, bamboo on one side and tree limbs on other side scrape the RV on leaving site 73

One of our favorite overnight stops on our way to see our grandkids. Nice sites. Friendly staff. Love the pond. No complaints.

3 night stay. Mostly permanent dwellers or overnight stayers. Good points: cable TV connection, easy in and out pull through spots. Bad points: office smelled musty, very close to interstate so loud truck noises can be heard 24/7.

Friendly and helpful staff.

Unkept . Located practically on the interstate . Night noise intolerable.

I had the best view of the pond. The patio was outstanding. An evening walk around the pond was perfect.

We are spending Labor Day weekend at the Benton Illinois KOA Camp. They have activities for the kids and families planned all weekend. Have beautiful lights on the catch and release pond. The staff met us on our late arrival and got us all checked in and then guided us to our cabin. Will further update after check out but so far we are loving it!
