Very nice and helpful gate attendants again this year. Also kudos to the couple that clean the showers/restrooms! Always kept clean and nice! We spend between 30-40 nights a year at Coon Creek Illinois and have for 30 years, It is in my opinion the best on the lake. I would not have any problems of paying 2 or more dollars a night to help pay to these people and also the mowing contracts.

Very well maintained and super nice staffing, will be back very soon. Verizon cell service is not the greatest.

Well kept, clean, friendly staff. The only problem was that apparently somewhere in the woods behind us was a septic pump or something for the bathrooms? When the breeze was a certain direction the odor was a bit uncomfortable. Learned a bit about those sites for next time.
