This is one of the cleanest, well-kept campgrounds I've ever been to. The showers and bathrooms…read morewere spotless and updated. The kids loved the pool and jump pillow! The playground is clean with new equipment and a Gaga Ball pit. There's lots of space to walk dogs. The vibe is casual and laid back. My mom stayed in a cabin and it was VERY nice. The RV sites are level and have large "backyards". There are activities (ice cream socials, kayaking/paddleboating, pool, jump pillow) to keep kids busy for days. Great place for everyone!

Also, you can only stay two weeks per month. In September you can stay three weeks. We are in the area for the months of June and July. Even without a sewer hookup we'd stay the entire time, if there wasn't a time limit on it.

Staying here was my first camping experience since moving to the Quad Cities, and we had a great…read moretime! We camped with four adults and three preschool aged children and there was plenty for all of us to do. We stayed along the river at a tent site, and had plenty of space. The campgrounds were clean and quiet, and only $16 for the night. With little ones, it was especially great that there are clean, stocked restrooms. We really enjoyed being on the river at our site, but also the easy walk along the bike trail that connects to other parks. Overall, I highly recommend this site for easy, nearby camping.

We were just travelling through looking for a place to stay for the night. We found this place at…read more8 pm. They had an after hours checking drop box, but they didn't give us other information like the bathroom code. The phone number provided just went to voicemail and it was for reservations only. The next morning a lady came to our site asking if we needed the code for the restroom. We said we got it from someone else. She got upset with us that we did that. I said it would be nice if there was a means to get that information outside of office hours. She snapped back saying most people call during office hours. I said that we didn't even know this place existed until after there office was closed. We're just passing through. She said once again that most people call during office hours. I reiterated that we just found out about this place after their office was closed. For the prices they are charging it would be nice to have access to all amenities upon arrival even if it is outside of office hours. She just turned her back and stomped away. Very poor customer experience. The campground was decent. Could have more stars on this review but not being able to get at what you're paying for and the rude interaction made this a place that we'll skip in the future.

There is a very large group of "regulars" who stay there all summer long. They are not welcoming and downright rude to people visiting "their" camp ground. It leads to a hostile environment. Beware.

Mixed feelings. Love this place to death, and the declaired mission of conservation. However…read more.... Its more of a social activity than the mission of conservation. Was on the board for about 3 months until I realized the board was not interested in preserving the club and keeping trespassers out. Have asked about posting more no trespassing signs, and was told quite angrily that we run on volunteers and if i want them so badly volunteer and do it myself. Im sorry I didnt know keeping trespassers out was that much of an imposition... Some of us work for a living and do not have the time to donate and belong to relax on our days off

Upon walking into my cabin, I started to die laughing because of how bare it was. I should mention that our door was extremely hard to open and we had to thrust ourselves upon it to open it. Needless to say, if there was a fire I don't think we would make it. Also, our windows were nailed shut, further decreasing our chances of survival. We turned on our heater because it was about 40° outside and began to smell something burning. However, we left for dinner and when we came back our cabin was still standing, so it should be safe. There is also a smoke alarm, so hopefully you'll hear it and try and get the door open before you die of smoke inhalation. Overall I enjoyed staying here because all of my basic needs were met and the cabin was laughibly bad. I would stay here again.

We met Paul at Albany, IL boat ramp where we began our 4-hour outing. He had a great bass boat with a trolling motor, depth finder/navigation, and power poles. He has fished in many tournaments and was well versed with his equipment. We caught dozens of crappie and a good number of catfish! A few bluegills and a bowfin as well. We kept a good number of the crappie and catfish which made for some great meals back at camp! Anyone unfamiliar with the area should give Paul a call!

We celebrated our grandson's seventh birthday here today. My daughter did not pre-schedule…read moreanything, but we were able to walk in on a Sunday and reserve a lane for four kids and two adults to play a round of bowling. I like that the technology is modern enough to bring the bumpers up when you vindicated that is needed for that child as well as they have assist to roll the ball down the lane. We did notice some inconsistencies with the scoring as the unit that would drop down to pick up the pens, wood in advertently knock them over so the scoring was a little off. On weekends, it is five dollars per person per game. Service was good, the food was meh as we just had pizza, and I found it quite greasy and already not agreeing with me. The beer was cold though, and a Michelob ultra draught was $4.50, which we find pretty reasonable compared to what we pay at home It is super loud in the arcade area and you need to get through that before you get back to the bowling alley, we found the sound levels in the bowling alley just fine. I'm not sure. I could spend an entire day here though, lol. There were a ton of people here Playing in Ball leagues and such. Pretty active place and it looks like they do pretty well.
