The standard 120V outlet I was at did not work. I had to use an adapter from the bigger one

A beautiful scenery campground that is on one of the most beautiful lakes in Illinois. Sites are spread out and roomy. Animals especially deer are abundant. We have camped here since it open in the 1970’s

Very nice. Lot timber. Campsites are spaced apart so you are not right on top of your neighbor. Saw deer everyday. One of our favorite spots.
