Camped at site 31, lots of traffic noise from highway bridge over lake. Steep slope on this site. We biked on Rend Lake bike trail, long, (mostly) paved trail. Laundry and groceries in nearby Sesser, nice little town.

Nice kept campground, clean, large sites, beautiful sunsets. Warning***Turn around loops on the lake are not adequate for larger campers and fifth wheels over 36 ft. Larger Class As and Cs also scraped rear. These loops are tapered, tight and narrow with low sholders. Do not stay in BlueJay loop if over 36 ft.
