    Down to the coals
    Jeremy H.

    We reserved a spot for three full hook ups on Wednesday and were given site numbers. As we would like to be close together. On Friday (2 days later), they had moved us and we were all separated. So after some work, they were able to get us a little closer together. The grounds are well kept, staff is very friendly and you see them often. I was impressed with how quiet times were followed. The place rolled up by 10. By 10:30 most fires were out. Very quiet over night. No cars in and out. The sites are a little close. But roomy enough to have a group around the fire. All sites are pull through and pretty level. Which was very nice for set up. Some are concrete slab. They have a well built and well maintained dog park. A small fences area where dogs can run free and play together. This is a NICE added feature for those with animals that love to be social. Watch out for the SQUIRRELS!! They are everywhere. So don't leave any good out over night and put garbage in a bin with a lid. Which the park has a lid for every garbage can. Which was nice to see. Campers are very friendly and talkative. They are very respectful not to be really loud and partying. Even though is saw lots of drinking at people's sites. They managed their own. Which was very nice to see. No loud parties or things like that. The campground is small and not a lot to do. They do have a pool. No place to fish. But there are lots of local places to venture out to.

    Do not stay at this campground. We are a full-time family who's been on the road for a year and a…read morehalf. We have never in all of our years of camping or traveling--and we travel a lot--we've never encountered anyone as rude as the general manager and her daughter who basically run the campground. I don't think they own the place, but whoever owns it needs to change management ASAP! The staff at Lost Acres is not liked by locals and they had my family of 4 escorted off the property by local cops because I complained to the daughter about how rude her mom was. They need to be replaced and the owner needs to have more say in what goes on in their campground and if they are the owners than I hope this impacts them because no one I talked to is happy with what's going on under the new management even the poor seasonal people whom most were so kind! We stayed there from August 23-30th. We were supposed to stay until Tuesday after Labor Day. In fact, they enjoyed having our family there so much last weekend, that they let us take a seasonal spot and gave us a discount for staying over the holiday weekend. So we were fine until we complained it seems. I told them we were going to stay in Cincinnati for a couple days and we set up and left our trailer in the new seasonal site they gave us and all was well. We were still paying per night so they weren't giving us any discounts by letting us keep our trailer there. We got back to the campground today August 30th and the lady who works at the front desk and is the general manager --who's been the most unfriendly to us since we arrived and whom the seasonal people and other campers don't seem to care too much for-- was at the booth and we pulled up and asked if we could get a flyer for the events happening this holiday weekend. She wasn't friendly and she looked at us like she was bothered we had our dirt bikes in the back which we'd had every other time we've pulled in-- she told us she didn't have a print out of the fun events our family was looking forward to-- but made sure we knew again that we couldn't ride our dirt bikes and off we drove with that nice "welcome" ringing in our ears. So I walked over to the office and got the flier the person who was welcoming campers said she didn't have and I thought I'd mention what happened to the two woman at the front desk. I happened to bring up the fact that the lady at the gate (general manager) wasn't nice to her daughter who works the front desk and the lady I ori talked to who was kind the entire time. I explained to both of them what had happened and the daughter didn't like what I was saying about her mom and told me if I have further complaints than I'm welcome to leave the campground to which I was very surprised and continued to talk with both ladies as to why I'm being told to leave. As I'm asking for clarification, the daughter asks me to leave because I'm being combative and then she has her mom come over to talk to me while she's on the phone with the cops. The mom comes to talk and I start explaining she wasn't nice to us and she didn't want to hear it and left. Her daughter then tells me to leave the office and I tell her I will wait for the sheriff and my daughter who was playing video games. She said we can both leave and then called the local cops and desc what I was wearing and told them I was being combative so 3 cop cars showed up for this. They apologized for what was happening and were nice to our family. It's too bad the city's resources are being used to be called to this campground for reasons like this. We heard this happens a lot and it's not a good look for the nice town. We luckily ran into some kind locals at the campground who offered for us to stay on their property because they knew we wouldn't be able to find anywhere for the holiday weekend. So there's still good people out there and they were what our family needed and they give this town a good reputation. Let this be a warning if you go stay there. In our opinion, I'd pick anywhere else to stay before having to deal with management at Lost Acres.

Heated pool and pickle ball court, volleyball court. Cornhole tournament all weekend. But there is also just sit back and relax with a fire or by the pond with your pole. Endless things to do..

    We spent the last 2 summers at Fox Bluff as seasonals. Here is my honest review…read more The Good: Mon-Fri morning are great. Quiet, very little activity, access to pool and hot tub good. Nice group of full time rvers. Management is trying to put together weekly events for everyone enjoyment. Proximity to Chicago and the Fox River access is great. The bad: dusty roads, failed electrical and water mutliple times. Sewage system really bad, we went three days without being to dump because system was overwhelmed and over flowing and the only employee could so anything was at another campground. Very little maintenance activity on bathrooms, dumpsters (always overflowing after weekend, just need one extra dump on Saturday) or common areas. The Ugly: The deal is this, rules are published and agreed to but there is zero enforcement activities by the management. Come Friday night the seasonal weekenders show up and it gets really crazy. Golf carts speeding, some music blaring, around well into the night (at times 2:30 in the morning) being driven by not only adults, some intoxicated, but also by underage drivers (same ones over and over). The common areas as well as pool and hot tub are overrun by adults, drinking, smoking and swearing. In fact passing out jello shots and some drunk guy in the hot tub talking about how big his privates are. Not a safe or desirable place for children. More then once, high schoolers making out in the pool, children in the pool area unsupervised, and constant food in the pool area. It basically is a party place on the weekend. Can no longer recommend as suitable place to camp.
