It was awesome

We have 3 dogs so really loved having the site with the dog fencing.

Campgrounds were okay, but spot 112 was not good...it was so far away from level made the use of our primary starecase impossible. Thankfully in the wood pile there was a box we could put under the landing feet for our staircase, otherwise we would be forces to enter and exit through the garage.

the staff @ Chicago NW KOA were amazing. Everyone of them friendly and helpful. Sites were a little narrow, but overall in great shape. Weekend activities for kids were fun and plentiful.

We brought 2 of our grandkids and the amount of activities was perfect! They loved the trick or treating, the playground and the mini golf! The staff was friendly and attentive! We will be back! Thank you for making memories with us!

We love this campground.

I would have rated it a 10 and 5 but the showers could have been cleaner. The toilets and sinks were fine.

As always, we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at our local KOA. Always clean and our hosts are very informative. Always great events going on during the last 4 weeks of the season, especially for the kids!

The facilities were very dirty. Kamp K9 although nice, was off into the back of the camp and is pitch black at night. It was a little scary.

We rented the rv. It was very nice, roomy and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

WiFi was fluctuating too much. Lost connectivity frequently and process to reconnect wasn’t easy. Fresh water had over abundance of iron that clogged our filter and discolored our water hose. We will need to replace both. If improvements made, we may come back again.

My son and I loved our stay in one of the camping cabins. It was very clean and had even more space than we had expected. It was hotter than expected during our visit and the AC plus ceiling fan kept the cabin very comfortable. I found the porch swing to be relaxing. The bathrooms are very close and also kept very clean. We would definitely stay here again on a return trip to the Chicago area.

Was ok. No wifi for tv. No cable. Site 50. Bathrooms and showers were good.

Nice campground. Chicago traffic stinks!

Nice campground, we love it here, friendly staff.

Very relaxing, secluded and friendly staff. I had wished they would have had a photocopied map of the area showing fuel stations, restaurants etc. A map showing the back-way to Navy RTC (Bootcamp) would have been helpful. If they were to "advertise their close proximity to the Navy Base," they could significantly increase their occupancy. Those that have pets take them with us thus, the Camper!

Great place to stay. Very clean and staff very friendly.

We had a nice site with a swing and a steady breeze. Not too far from restaurants and stores but far from Chicago. Friendly and helpful staff. A bit on the pricey side but loved the full hookups!

ok

Enjoyed our stay in the deluxe cabin. The cabin did not come stocked with hand washcloths and only 2 bath towels which were well used. The liquid soap dispenser in the shower did not work. It did have soap in it though. Shampoo and Conditioner dispenser worked. These are the only negatives of our stay.

Pulled in after hours around 9pm and was still greeted and assisted to site. Nice level sites also.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Bob especially was helpful when we had trouble with our one slide-out when we were setting up camp .

Wonderful owners and staff. Everyone is warm and welcoming. The park is clean and there is plenty of program for the kids on the weekends. We have been going to this Kamp for 30+ years under 3 different owners and look forward to returning every year to see what improvements have been done in the off-season ( there is always something!).

Campsite was very nice. Staff=excellent. Amenities were clean and well cared for. Pool was clean and lovely at the end of a hot day. We do not travel with children but for those that did, this campground does a fantastic job of providing fun/interesting things for the kids to do. Store well stocked. Laundry room clean. Machines in good working order. Very enjoyable.

I enjoyed my stay. Employees were polite when asked something but no one went out of there way to be friendly. The check-in outside was very impersonal. I've never experienced that at any other KOA where I've stayed (at 12 different one) except the Milton, Wisconsin KOA. After hours I can see using that method, but during business hours it's nice to be welcomed personally by a staff member.

Just an awesome place. Staff is super friendly.. camp ground well taken care of. We had such an awesome weekend. See you next year!!

Always a pleasant stay at the Marengo KOA. People are friendly and the facilities are always clean, and in great shape!

Very nice hosts. Loved our patio site with new table & chairs and a swing big enough for 2 adults + 1 child. Our son enjoyed the mini golf in the afternoon and at night with glow balls. The train museum just up the road is fun too.

Great KOA, people are nice and very helpful. Plenty of shade around perimeter sites. Sylvia the owner is very good at working with you when you need a site last minute.

Park is nice and bathrooms are clean. I've never stated at a Campground that doesn't have propane available. The firewood is very overpriced. The constant texting is also annoying, I'd much rather just walk to the office and ask for what I need than to have a baraage of texts from the Campground all weekend.

Staff here is awesome, Sylvia has an awesome crew. They are all very helpful. The facilities are clean and there is plenty of grass and activities for the kids. Thanks

Every thing was wonderful. We brought the grandkids and never once did they say this dreaded words, I'm boarded. The only negative I have is the times for the ice cream social on Saturday and the root beer float on Sunday. Have to choose between ice cream and dinnertime, dinner will always come first.
