This is one of many times my husband and I have been to this campground. It is always clean and well kept (although dog park could use a mowing). Peaceful and quiet area.

The people who checked us were very nice! The establishment itself was clean, beautiful with several flower gardens, and the deluxe cabin we stayed in was wonderful and very clean. One of the bath towels that was folded up on the shelf looked like it was dirty, otherwise there was other clean towels. Enjoyed staying there and would stay again if we were in the area.

This was just a one night stop over for my wife and I, but the staff were as courteous as any place we have been, and the facilities were very clean. Having the option to get a pizza there, as we arrived somewhat late was a big plus. It was delicious, and a good value.

Each visit to Kankakee South KOA is better than the last. Rob and Julie continually add valuable features to this campground! The heated pool is exceptional. They will deliver supplies directly to your campsite. The game room, mining, scavenger hunt, hay rides, playground, and basketball court allow every family member to enjoy their stay. Let's not forget the free WiFi with TV channel access! A++

Our first cabin had AC that didn’t work on a very hot day, but they upgraded us to another cabin where everything worked. The beds were comfortable and it was super cold. The workers were very accommodating and friendly. The location was quiet.

We had a smooth, lovely family reunion utilizing all the cabins and a couple of campsites. Two cabins were situated with a great lawn area which provided a great gathering spot. Prompt attention to propane gas grill needs was super. Facilities were well kept and clean.

Clean, quiet and a good location to visit Chicago. Staff was helpful to recommend how to get downtown Chicago

Came in late after a long day. We actually had booked the night at a different campground (non-KOA) that when we got there made us very uncomfortable and left right away. We immediately left and called this KOA to see if they had room which they did. The two people on-duty were very helpful and accommodating. Although we got in late and left early the next morning, we felt very safe here!!

ALWAYS A PLESURE STAYING HERE THE STAFF AND OWNERS ARE ALWAYS THERE TO MAKE YOUR STAY A PERFECT ONE.

Our favorite KOA. The staff is always willing to help however they can and are always polite and cheerful. During our stay a severe weather system passed through the area. The staff were genuinely concerned about our safety and they kept us apprised with multiple text messages. We will definitely stay here whenever we are on the Kankakee geographical area.

Based off a quick 1 night stay. I wish when someone meets you as you get there, that they'd bring a map and go over where things are located, like shower houses with more than one in it. Biggest complaint is that we didn't dump our septic because it was located 1 foot from the neighbor's picnic table, and they were cooking and eating breakfast. The other neighbor's was 1 foot from our table.

Lower bathouse at the main building is not adequate for the number of people using it at this CG. Train tracks right across the road, makes a noisy stay.

Great KOA Met by Julie even after hours to be sure we fit in our spot. Facilities very nice!

Erin is great! Everyone should meet her!

It was amazing! Had a small gathering at their deluxe cabins and the staff was so helpful and courteous. Erin, Jackie, Vince, and Mac were amazing and helped us with anything we needed. Pizza and wings were a big hit with my group (we ordered 9 pizzas and 115 wings) the staff got them out to us crazy fast! Highly recommend staying here and we will be coming back!!

A hidden gem, very nice shaded campground. Stayed in a pull through patio spot. Showers and restrooms were very clean, extremely friendly and helpful staff. Pizza was awesome,thank you Madison! This is a great layover location if the Chicago area is the end of your day, plus to get here it forces you to use back roads around the Windy City, which was an added bonus. Very quiet and peaceful setting

The campground was clean and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating! We appreciated the wagon rides, scavenger hunt, and mining station for the kids.

Everything was great. The grounds were well maintained, the staff was very friendly. I just would have liked more grass at our site for our dog .

Wonderful. Campground was spacious and the people were very friendl.

Very clean and quiet. OK for overnight stay however the 30 amp pull through needed leveling help. Extremely friendly and helpful Staff will escort you to your site.

There could be a bigger pool. It was very crowded.

Better than some KOAs we have stayed at. This place was on a quiet country road away from highway road noise. Our site was large and well maintained. Close enough to Chicago for a day visit too. Would stay again! Thank you

From the moment you are greeted at the door upon arrival, the staff, Jessica and Madison, made you feel at home. Prompt, professional service, the best service I have seen at a KOA thus far. They escort you to your accommodations and even deliver Hunts Bros pizza and wings to your location if you want it! All you have to do is text the number that texts you welcoming you to the grounds and order what you want. The wings were delish! The cabin I stayed in was wonderful! They even had linens on the bed with pillowcases and towels in the bathroom for us. Very clean, very comfortable! Bonus, the A/C unit works tremendously well and kept us nice and cool. There were some tornado warnings throughout the evening but the owner lives on site and makes sure everyone on the campground is aware of the situations via a group text and radio communication with their staff. This text does not allow you to see other phone numbers and vice versa. It was very comforting to have that resource during the evening. The staff say that the owner is so kind and generous and it really is showcased in the customer service and care that goes into managing and maintaining such a beautiful location. Our doggo enjoyed the dog run, tucked away in the back of the location, away from any road, so he wasn't getting distracted left and right. If you know, you know hah. Bonus fire hydrant for those city dogs that love them. :) All in all, please stay here. It is the quietest KOA I have stayed at but just a hop, skip and jump over to a Loves gas station and some early morning coffee drive thrus for the road warriors. Thank you Kankakee KOA, y'all are rock stars and I will most definitely be staying here again on my next cross country trek! 💪😍 PS: ignore my luggage sprawled all over the room 🤣

What a great campground! The team was super helpful. Madison came out to meet us right as we pulled in, didn't even have to get out of our rv! Then she showed us the route to our site. They even have food on site! Alice made a delicious pizza dinner and delivered it right to our site! The grounds are beautifully maintained, nice level sites. They popped popcorn and texted everyone staying that night to come watch a movie! Highly recommend!
