We love Bo Wood and camp here a couple times per year. The campground is well kept, and the staff is pleasant. Site 7 had a nice view of the water and was level. There is a path down to the water, but it is a bit steep. This loop was super quiet, with a clean bathroom. We filled our fresh tank up at spigot by site 8 and it had great pressure, actually turned it down a turn. I wish there was a wider shoulder on route 32 since we are cyclists. There is no way to access the quieter country roads without riding at least a mile along this busy route heading north toward Sullivan. We use blinking taillights and stay as close to the edge as possible.

Second visit to park, Very clean with some of the longest and widest spots we have seen. Not real busy during the week. There is boat rentals available. A little pricey.

One of the best COE campgrounds in Illinois!
Such a great deal with the Senior Pass.
The hosts and volunteers are so awesome.
Love visiting the Amish stores in the area.
