We got back yesterday after a great two night stay in a heated cabin here. I took my teenage son…read moreand three of his friends. We camp a lot and were looking for a winter adventure over break. Bullfrog was 45 minutes away and definitely did not disappoint. First of all, the area is gorgeous. I have never been to Willow Springs and was amazed by the landscape. Hills, woods, lakes, the Des Plaines River, huge Cook County Forest Preserve areas, with ample shopping and restaurants nearby of needed make this an ideal camping destination. The campground has a welcome station with after hours gated access. We were the only campers in the cabins and our first night there were a couple other groups using tents. It was amazing basically having this place to ourselves for about $100 a night. The cabin is accessible for those with special needs so it has a roll in shower and ADA accessible routes and features, for those seeking those amenities. It had 4 bunk beds in the main sleeping area, a separate bedroom with two beds, and the aforementioned bathroom. There is a wall unit for AC and heat in both sleeping areas so our comfort was at peak level. Those babies put out the heat and fast! This was especially great after we took an 8 mile hike which included a trip to the Little Red Schoolhouse Nature Center. The cabin and surroundings were immaculate. There are also a couple heated bath houses, dining pavilions, and docks for fishing or enjoying the beautiful views. In addition to the large cabins they also offer smaller ones without heat for warmer trips. Boat rentals are available when warmer out, as well. I saw canoes and other manual craft behind a fence by the welcome station. Inside the station they sold ice cream bars and much needed firewood bundles for $5. I would guess in the summer they offer more treats. The cabin featured a large fire pit with a swing out cooking grate, which was much appreciated. We cooked many a thing on it! A picnic table is also provided at each cabin. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place for your next camping and hiking adventure. We look forward to returning this summer!

I just bought a place there and we bought a park model its like a tiny house. I find the place…read more very clean and the activities, the beach & the pool and hot tub are very nice. All the people we met have been super friendly. The showers I have never used but the bathrooms are always clean. And believe me I would not use a bathroom that was not clean. They do let people rent park models and they let campers in on certain days I believe. Look forward to relaxing there in my days off.

My husband has been with Fish Lake Beach for 40 years. We've been there for about 6 years as a…read morefamily and it's time to leave. Management is terrible. The place is honestly a dive. Slap on an extra thick coat of 'new' paint for pictures. Pool is dirty and gross. Playground equipment is a liability due to age and basic safety. The rate of speed, that may not be allowed but a blind eye is turned too, is dangerous for anyone, especially children and animals. The little store is cute but completely underutilized, so another disappointment. There are plenty of other places out there that are better worth the experience, time, and cost. I do have to say that Fish Lake Beach is a great place for anyone who doesn't have the littlest of expectations and just likes to be drunk. That's about all the place has to offer.

Staff is ALWAYS friendly. Great place for a family to camp. Lots of activities for kids and adults.read more

Sometimes, life is cruel…read more It certainly was for the family whose son drowned when I visited the Happy Acres Kampground this July. Fire trucks, ambulances, and searchlights scanned every inch of the property on Saturday evening until the authorities made their tragic discovery. The incident took place in the "private pond," which is (or was) open to guests for swimming, boating, and fishing each summer. The water appeared to be treated with a blue anti-algae solution, which made the water opaque and all but impossible to see through. Young children splashed around and slung mud at me with no supervising guardians in sight. I flinched and jumped as imperceptible fish bombarded me underwater, leaving red marks on my skin. The pool on site is a tad less disconcerting, complete with a sunny lounge chair deck and plenty of tolerably clean water for children and their families to enjoy. The nearby shower facilities are less ideal; the showerheads will activate only if you insert a quarter first. My traveling party did not bring any coins with us, and the front desk never warned us that we would need currency to clean off at night. I advise management to warn guests ahead of time that their tokens will be necessary, or else install a shower system worthy of the 21st century. Despite its flaws, it's hard not feel fortunate while taking in the Happy Acres' miles of wooded hiking trails, or enjoying a stroll past ornate trailers and RVs all decked out for the warm season. The atmosphere is joyful--even giddy enough to hold a "Christmas in July" festival complete with decorations, Santa hats, and a holiday movie screening. Needless to say, little kids will have plenty to do while visiting this property. The location of Happy Acres is conveniently close to the Richard Bong Recreational Area, and just a few minutes further from Kenosha. Chicagoans looking for a place to relax for the weekend--or longer, based on the many permanent-looking motorhome setups I observed--need only drive an hour to reach it. What's more, firewood and other camping supplies are sold in a gift shop for flighty travelers such as myself who forgot to pack a few essentials. The indoor bathroom facilities appear to be well maintained, but the portable toilets could do with some hand sanitizer and fly traps. Electrical and water hookups at each site make for a convenient camping space. While bug spray is useful, I never found the mosquito situation to be bothersome. Furthermore, I commend the management for their environmental stewardship in collecting recycling from every camper. This service is more than many businesses bother to offer. To their credit, the staff here did their best to ensure dignity and privacy for the family who lost their son. My deepest condolences are with them. As a swim-at-your-own-risk institution, no lifeguards are on duty anywhere. As one of only a handful of camp grounds in the county, the site is assumedly vital to the local economy. I don't believe the business is personally responsible for this tragedy, and hope Happy Acres survives to see another year.
