We had a great pull through site, clean bathrooms, and generally a clean campground. We will be back for a longer stay.

On site 21 nite loop. Very difficult to get my 40’ 5th wheel lever, ended up with right side wheels 2” off the ground and couldn’t use back set of steeps because bottom step was about 2’ above grade, had to place 3 1”mats at front door and still had high first step. Terrain around fire pit very unlevel, wife just had knee replacement and very scared of falling. Timbers barried created trip hazards. THIS SITE NEEDS MAjOR IMPROVEMENTS

Only had a 1 night stay as we were passing through. We weren't disappointed. Typical well cared for well organized COE campground.

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.
