There was no adherence to the speed limit with trucks pulling campers or cars speeding through the campground which is very unsafe for walkers and kids on bikes. Also many campers kept lights on all night. Our neighbor brought a street lamp and the light was so bright in our windows it was difficult to sleep. He also cut through the back of my camper to his friend on the other side which invaded my privacy when he walked by my bedroom window. There are three campground hosts which are pretty much non existent through the day. We went to report finding a lost toddler and non of the campground hosts answered their doors before locating the child’s mother.
The campground is very beautiful and well kept and the nicest in Southern Illinois but it does have safety issues.
