Campground Reviews

Jul 15, 2023
The staff are not friendly. They seem over worked and not happy to be there. There is no personal interaction, everything is done by text or email. Even check in Store was never open during our stay. Spots are tight and people are parked all over. We had to back out of a pull through spot. Owners need to check on the place and be aware what is going on with staff.

Very nice campground lots of shade, the only thing is the bathroom (men’s) didn’t have any hand soap and needed cleaning, other than that it was nice.

Very clean campground. Pet enclosures are at many sites. There is a K9 area hidden among the trees. Not all sites have full hookups. They seemed to be randomly placed around the campground. Also there is no cable, so if you are lucky you might get 4 channels . The location of the campground worked for us because we were visiting friends in Cary and Byron Illinois.

Site is very beautifull but we were on a very slanted lot anfmd therefore unable to level the coach. So we were unable to open slides..would you consider a credit for our stay? Thanks

The amenities were good and the staff was helpful and friendly. The camping sites were too close to one another for our liking. We prefer a little more space and having more trees/forestry so we can enjoy the feeling of being in nature. Also being so close to a major road where you could road noise really dampened the experience of being in nature. However we did enjoy our visit.

Staying during the week is totally different than a weekend stay. Next time we will book a weekend stay for our son to have things to do and kiddos to play with. Wish the store would have been open as stated on the sign.

Everything about our stay was great except that our site was very sloped which emptying tanks and leveling out very difficult. But we do love this park.

Stayed there for our annual trip to the union train museum. Always love camping at your place. Quiet,convenient and clean. Thanks for always taking care of us.

A/C unit not sufficient to cool down the Kamp Kabin. Unusually limited office/store hours.

I’m not a big camper and only been to a few campsites. But this one is the best one I’ve been to so far. friendly staff, and activities for the younger ones they enjoy the jump pad, and the candy hunt at nigh. Clean restrooms and showers and the campsite was very comfortable and family friendly will definitely come again with the family before the summer ends.

Two of our grandchildren with their parents spent the weekend at the Chicago Northwest KOA. Loved the Saturday activities (kickball, scavenger hunt and more) that all family members could enjoy. Of course, the swimming pool and miniature golf were big hits. The facilities were clean, grounds were well-kept and staff was friendly and always helpful. This was our first visit but won't be our last.

Narrow entrance, office was not staffed and faces away from entrance. The sites are ok, the water quality was hard, some staining. The sites are not level, be prepared with leveling blocks, some sites grass some gravel. The prairie view sites look at a storage area. Dog park is very small. Chicago is about 2h away. Warning: Not all 50a sites have 50a some have dual 30a. Better for passing though.

Very nice campground with easy access to surrounding attractions. Very quiet and well maintained.

It was a lot of fun. My kids had a great time with the trampoline and playground sized just for them. It was quiet at night for a great night sleep. Everyone who worked there was super helpful and nice

We had a great time winding down from our normal routine. Everyone we met was very nice. The young lady that escorted us to the site in the golf cart was such a nice girl. I forgot her name but she said it was her 1st day! The entire campground was very clean and we just loved it.

It was most enjoyable, as always. So many activities offered and the grounds looked great. Can't wait to come back.

We had the best stay. The staff was friendly and courteous. The grounds were clean. People were great. Pool cleaned. The whole place was perfect. Coming back. Great family spot.

It's a clean, quiet campground but not much to do in the area. The closest fishing/boating we could find was about 30 miles away in Rockford. We spent most of our time there. When we checked in to our RV, we were cautioned about our water usage. We were told that if we filled the tanks, they would have to take the RV to be drained. So, we never used the shower. Stay was meh.

The sites are too close to each other. There isn’t much activity for kids as other KOA’s Wi-Fi signal was strong but internet extremely slow. Advertising theater �� but it’s being used to parking spots.
Jul 06, 2023
Overally priced for not that much amenities at all. The bathrooms weren't all that clean. The camp areas fire pit didn't have a grill so I couldn't cook my food even if I tried.

Stay was okay, didn't feel like a holiday KOA becuase of not lot activites, pool was small, grounds around cabin were small, minor trash around cabin, fire pit to close to road to sit and cook, not much space around cabin, air condition stopped working, not much in store, did not like had to haul or trash to dumpster, had to ask a couple times for bathroom to restocked.

Very nice, beautiful weather, Sylvia and team always overperform, facilities superb. THANK YOU!!

Stayed at a cabin 4th of July weekend. Cabin was well appointed and the staff were all very nice and accommodating. I only wish the area had better trails for hiking and or biking.
Jul 05, 2023
We had such a wonderful time. It was our first time at a KOA and loved all the amenities that made camping with children way more relaxing! We can’t wait to camp at a KOA again!
Jul 04, 2023
It was a very nice campground with many good family acrivities. The staff was extreamily nice and helpful the entire stay. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the campground really needs another driveway exit to the road. Twice I got stopped either entering or leaving camp because 2 vehicles can't fit down the entrance road at once . The wild west town next door would be a neat addition

As always, our stay at Chicago Northwest KOA was enjoyable and relaxing. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The expedited check-in process was smooth and got us to our site quickly. Many fun activities were planned by the KOA staff for this weekend leading into the 4th of July even though the weather did not fully cooperate. Our go to place to stay when we are in the Chicago area.
Jul 04, 2023
Certainly not the nicest KOA we’ve been to. The sites are tight, and the amenities are lacking a bit. But the owner is very nice, and the location works well for us, so we keep coming back.

Busy..

The bathrooms need to be updated, but it was quiet, spacious, and a lot of space for kids.
Jul 03, 2023
We chose this KOA due to its proximity to the IL Railway Museum. It was satisfactory for a Holiday but lacked amenities like kiddie pool, concrete pads, paved streets of a Journey. Staff was extremely pleasant. Overall it was OK but not outstanding like the other KOAs we have stayed at
Jul 03, 2023
Although it rained throughout most of the weekend, the KOA was a lot of fun! My grandson had a blast! So happy that they had the flashlight candy hunt in the rain. My grandson would’ve been disappointed if it was canceled. We will be back.

So nice since it has been fixed up, new bathrooms, separate showers, nice little shop, friendly staff, great place for kids to play, love the new playground, jump pad, Gaga ball, love the mini golf. Our cabin was nice just wish there was an outside plug for cooking, and the mattresses were a big hard for my husband. Close to lots of kids places to visit. We loved our stay and would love to stay

The amount of traffic is insane! If cars aren't driving by your site, staff in a golf cart is every 2 minutes.If you are looking for a nice relaxing place this is not it! It's very noisy, no nature trails, or ponds and you are right on top of the site next to you. At one point there was a construction vehicle going back and forth with beeping for at least an hour to add to the chaos. Pool was cold
Jul 03, 2023
Staff was great & easy to order firewood with quick delivery. Bathrooms were always clean and our sites (30 & 31) were spacious with 4 larger tents and a large screen tent.

This is the nicest koa we have stayed at! This is on our top three list of the best koa campgrounds we have stayed at!

We stayed in the new rental trailer. It was on a lovely site that offered great shade and was near the swimming pool and bathhouse. The campground was quite full when we were there but was quiet, especially at night. The staff was very timely in responding to texts regarding questions or requests. The campground was clean and well maintained.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. We liked our camp site looking out over the field. Thank you.

I have never stayed at a KOA that doesn't have full hookups at every site.

We decided to stay at the Chicago KOA so that we could visit our friends in Chicago along our way. The campground is well, set up and well-maintained, and they have a great system for entering and exiting. Even with a shortage of staff, there was absolutely no problem with anything. We felt very safe and secure and enjoyed our stay.

I love that you are located away from the city but still close enough to local grocery store and restaurants. Owners are so nice. We always have something fun to do while we are there.
