Pros: Owners are very kind and welcoming. Hot showers, microwave, mini-fridge and close to Rend Lake Cons: Carpenter bee's swarming the porch of the cabin was annoying. Large cobwebs in the cabin. Kitchen area needed cleaned before using. Bathroom sink is super small and the light and mirror are down too low. Outdoor amenities seem old (play sets, swings, some picnic tables, etc)

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.

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.

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

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 enjoyed our stay at the Benton KOA. The location was close to restaurants and shopping. The Kabin has a mini fridge and a microwave, which we really appreciated. It was clean and all the appliances worked perfectly. The outside of the cabin smelled (probably urine from lazy campers or dogs) pretty strongly.

Even though the cabin was not clean inside or out when we requested the manager call she was very apologetic for our poor experience. Her apology was sincere and much appreciated.

Good points -One of the best cabins we have stayed in - it was nice to have a microwave in the cabin - clever use of fencing in the showers Needs -We arrived around 6 o’clock in the evening, the office was already closed -The textured paint on the bathroom stalls was kind of weird and probably makes it kind of hard to clean

Cute little cabin to stay while traveling through and Casey was very helpful when I called with some questions about my late arrival. She was awesome with giving tips for parking our vehicles and where to find things. Made me feel very welcome and she cared about our stay.

Service was great, staff was friendly and accommodating. The grounds were kept up very well, rates were good with refrigerator, microwave and TV. Loved the little dog park area! And the many amenities.

Everyone was very nice and the facilities were clean, but there were aggressive bees outside the cabin that stung my son multiple times.

Such a cute cabin. We were right by the lake that had a lighted fountain. I wish we could have stayed longer! Great service, too!

We enjoyed the very clean camping cabin and appreciated fridge and the AC on a warm night. The restrooms were clean and adequate. We appreciated the quiet, wooded campground and the swings on the porch and outside the cabin were a nice touch. Overall a great comfortable stay on our trip.

Beautiful camp, relaxing pool, friendly staff... even got a cute haircut in the store.

Very nice cabin, dog friendly, everything was perfect.

The campground was not maintained, and in disrepair. The grounds had broken washing machine behind camp office, and cracked sidewalks. K9 area had holes in the chain link fence, no grass and no disposal can for dog waste. The cabins were a long distance uphill to the restroom and no efficient outdoor lighting. However, the KOA owners were aware of being the only 2 people running it.

Nasty dirty cabin. Dog kibble on the table, large pill on the floor, from previous occupants. So much pet hair on the door mats that I pushed them off to the side with my foot. Scent of cleaning chemicals, though apparently not used to clean, were overwhelming, and we opened the windows to air out the grimy cabin before being able to sleep, after wiping everything down with our cleaning wipes.

We had a wonderful stay. Great place to hang your head at night. Had fun at the pool too.

We stayed 2nights in a deluxe cabin on the pond. It was small but very quaint and clean. The staff was very friendly. It was only about a mile from Rend Lake where we were spending our days. I will definitely stay there when we go back.

This was my 2nd year. I recommended another couple and they enjoyed it as well.The only downfall was the pool not being open because of a leak. The staff is friendly and will accommodate anything you need.

We have been going there for 13 yrs and have become friends with Karen and the kids (& Walt). Everything was wonderful as always!!!

This was a last minute trip and we booked a cabin for 4 nights. Late check-in and everything was ready for us when we arrived. Cabin was clean, staff very friendly, and enjoyed the view of the pond. We will stay there again next time we come to Benton to visit family.

We have stayed at this location several times and always like to rent the same cabin. This is the second time that the bathroom in the cabin was not thoroughly cleaned, but this particular time was unacceptable. The shower stall had a LOT of hair in it, and obviously had not been cleaned. There were huge clumps of long hair on multiple parts of the shower, as well as dirty stains .

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!

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.
