It was great to be back and be there for the season opening. We were there for the last weekend last year as well. It’s always a great experience here and I love that the owners and some of the staff recognized us from our previous visits. We already have multiple other stays booked/planned for Union and can’t wait.

It was our first time out with our travel trailer. The check in was easy. Site 101 is beautiful and secluded. The staff, especially Jim, and the owner, Sylvia, were very welcoming. Going back in a few weeks.

Great one night stay. A little bit on the chilly side so we had a cabin all to ourselves. Owners were very nice and approachable. They checked on us along with their staff to say hi and asked if we needed anything. Will be back here for quick getaway

We have stayed here many times and enjoyed each stay. The fall festival weekends are so fun, the pool is always clean and there is so much for kids to do! Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Really bad water, strong iron smell. Ok for bathing but wouldn’t use it for cooking or drinking. Park was quiet until the weekend. Camper beside us had 4 kids, 4 adults and 2 dogs. They were outside until 11:30pm and up again at 7:30am. Constantly slamming their camper door, dogs barking and children yelling. There were 2 vehicles & TT on site. Don't make rules unless you plan to enforce them.

We have had a seasonal site for two years and will again next year. We enjoy our time there. The entire staff goes out of their way to make sure that we are comfortable.

I decided to take my sons camping right before the end of the season and picked this KOA. This was our first time staying here. I thought the KOA staff were very helpful and friendly. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the bathrooms and that they were heated and well lighted at night. I would have no issues staying here again.

They do such a good job for being a smaller camp ground. Everyone is SO friendly.

Lovely campgrounds and activities for kids. Like the mini golf. Bathrooms by the RV sites smelled like cat pee all the time & cleanliness does not seem to be a priority for all the bathrooms. The bathrooms by office both soap dispensers were empty for 24 hr period until I messaged. I thought someone would have let office know before then. Bathrooms & shower area, doors should be wiped down daily.

The entire staff is extremely nice! Place is clean and pleasant to stay. My kids love it there!

this was a fantastic visit, the fall theme, kids trick or treating, and spooky hay ride were all just awesome! My family had so much fun everyone is asking to make sure we can come back next fall already.

Wonderful campground and staff! We love camping here and they offer so many activities for young and old.

It was great. It was a last minute trip on a busy fall weekend. Turned out to be Halloween party weekend and closing weekend. One site left so we took it. Usually the leftover sites are not the best at campgrounds, but it was a great site. All the sites are good, roomy, and well maintained. It was a great weekend. Staff are great, friendly and very helpful. Thank you!

We have been going here regularly for a few years and this past year we traveled around a bit more staying at some other campgrounds along the way and they just don't compare to this one. Chicago Northwest KOA feels like "home". The staff there is wonderful & they really do treat us like part of their family. Special thanks to Kevin, Bob, Jim, & of course Sylvia for always making us feel special.

We had a fantastic weekend, enjoying all of the fall festivities offered. My kids loved the magic pumpkins, the trick or treating and the wagon ride. The location was clean, the staff was very attentive, and friendly. We will absolutely come back again! Thank you!!

Grandkids had a great time with all the activities. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely going back next year!

LOVED it there.... activities need more organization, maybe add a few more haywagons... very popular and very lon-n-n-g lines ....impatient little ones ..... otherwise we'd give a 5. We'll be back.

We had a fantastic stay! The dog-friendly accommodations were outstanding. From the fenced areas at each site to the off-leash dog park where our pup could socialize, and the walking trails through the prairie and forest, our dog had an amazing time. My three-year-old also loved it! The playground, inflatable jump and the fun Halloween decorations were all excellent!

This was a great little campground. No big bells and whistles, but that's okay. The camp staff was very good - warm and friendly, but attentive. We had a really pleasant stay and will definitely be back again.

Was our 4th stay this season and as always a great experience. Clean facilities and easy check in and out.

Very friendly and helpful

Very nice campground. There were a variety of site choices available to the camper. The online booking process was a breeze and the best part was you knew if something was available before heading there. That’s something other campgrounds in the area did not provide.

Staff was great! The view of the woods lovely. And the new patio was great!

Very nice campground for a quick get away. Staff is very friendly and super helpful.

This was a great place for our family reunion. Our RV site was great and the tent site where our family stayed was spacious. Not having any kids/grandkids we get tired of KOA's Halloween events every weekend in October but we recognize we're in the minority. And thank you Silvia for working with us when we had to shorten our stay.

Very nice campground. Clean and lots of activities for the fall season. I did not utilize the facilities. Great dog walk area! The staff were quick to respond to requests as well.

Wonderful stay. This is the second year I have come in October with my grandkids, and we plan to camp here again next year.

The campgrounds are very nicely kept. We were admiring the flowers in the pots at all sites in our row. Staff was very nice and friendly. We travel with dogs and this place is very dog friendly with lots of sites with dog pens and you can put up your own dog fence too. We loved the haunted Halloween hay ride. We will definitely return next season.

Stay was great. Employees were all friendly and helpful. Property was clean. Lots to do. We had fun and will be returning next year.

I've stayed here with my family a couple times now and had a great time. We brought our 21' travel trailer and enjoyed all the activities for the kiddos on the weekend. The staff is very friendly and attentive. And being able to text them and have firewood and ice delivered directly to our site is a nice perk! Definitely recommend and will stay here again. Family friendly and an easy drive from Chicago!

This is a great campground. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and lots of activities for the kids. We stayed a week while also visiting family in Chicago. It is a bit of a drive to get into Chicago - and we found it easier to drive 50 minutes to the Edgebrook station (Milwaukee NW train to union station) to get downtown rather than driving to Woodstock and taking a 2 hour train. The entry driveway is a little tight so be careful entering and exiting that there isn't another rig in the way!

We stayed here in a travel trailer so keep that in mind when you read my review. Our first impression was a good one when we pulled into the park. As you enter you can see that the campground is well taken care of. We were greeted by an attendant who looked up what site we had and then had another employee escort us to the site. We stayed in a pull through site that was level and the hook up all were in good order other than the sewer hook up was a little far away from us and I did not have a long enough sewer hose to reach it. The campground also has a kid park that was decent, a very nice pool that was very relaxing. The campground also has games you can play, activities on the weekends such as movies and hay rides, and they also have bikes for rent. This is not to mention a fairly well stocked campstore. The showers were clean and free. The bathrooms also were clean and well taken care of. The campground also does have free wifi but it was very slow so don't expect a whole lot from it. Overall this was a great stay. We had a fun weekend at a nice park.
