Wonderful dog park. Sullivan very close for groceries and places to eat when you want a night out. Interesting orchard near by.

Forrest Bo Woods is our favorite Illinois campground, by far. Always had a great experience there, not counting the sometimes rainy weather. Camped there 6 times in last 2 years, and always a great time. Sites could use a little work. Nice and wide, but only level in the center.

Very clean. One of the washing machines didn’t work but understandable. They take lots of abuse not being commercial. Love the dog park. Wish they all had them. Gate attendants were helpful and nice. T-Mobile had poor service out there but not a big deal.

My camp site was very good. Large enough for my 30’ camper, boat, two trucks and still had room. Had a view of the lake. Will come again.

Camping at Bo Woods is always great. I camped on Site 125 last week. However, I recommend avoiding this site in the fall time. Your vehicle will get pummeled by walnuts! I should have parked at the restroom. Wasn’t thinking. Two nice dents in my hood looks like hail hit it.
