The campground was clean and very welcoming. The sites were nice and spacious. The bathrooms and showers were good. They can’t post was very friendly. There are convenience stores close by we visited the Chellberg Farm,Mount Baldy, Lakeview Beach, and the nature center along with the welcome center. We would recommend them all. We also did a guided hike to the top of Mount Baldy, which we would recommend.

Make sure you bring mosquito spray!

The campground is cut into the woods so you have good privacy, but really no view of anything. Heavy underbrush throughout except on your pad. When it’s warm out, there’s not a lot of wind and mosquitoes are a problem. Otherwise, nice and quiet with acceptable facilities.

Nice campground. We stayed on a tent only walk up site which was really nice to be surrounded by trees. The site we got was still really close to the bathhouse. I appreciated that they had a water bottle filler at the bathhouse and a sink if need to rinse anything off. Would come back to stay again!

The campgrounds were generally pretty quiet although barking dogs were a problem at times. The sites were large with decent privacy. The mosquitoes were a significant problem (late Aug) and made hanging out at the campsite unenjoyable. But, the beaches at the park were amazing so just hung out there instead. The bathrooms were clean with flush toilets which was a nice perk for such an affordable nightly rate. Showers were also a nice perk but too musky and moldy for my liking. Overall a good campground for the price in a nice park with great hiking trails, biking trails, and beaches.

This is my fav campground. The camp host kept the bathrooms immaculate during my stay, it's a very quiet campground with fairly private sites. Close to the railroad station so good/bad with that: you can take the train into Chicago for the day which is super convenient/fun, unfortunately you will hear that train at night. Very close to the beach. Lots of mosquitoes so prepare accordingly.

Terrific campground. Clean restrooms but they need a little refreshment. Restrooms have little changed since campground opened. Showers need help.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
