    We stayed at Whittington Woods and were blessed to get to stay in their beautiful cabin. It was a amazing experience. Such a beautiful place. The campgrounds were lovely. Very well kept. The owners were such nice people. We had such a relaxing time. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get away or for a special occasion. Very close to all amenities and restaurants. Very quiet and private. They have a salt water swimming pool. We will be back for sure

    Nice installations but in the middle of nowhere! We just stopped on our way back home (FL). Just 5 sites are open and have all hook ups including water (pipes are heated to avoid freezing). Arrived on 1/5/15 and temperature at night was 10oF!!! It must be much nicer in summer. There is a huge lake (Rend Lake) close by that looks like great for fishing - Gun Creek Recreation area so much more activities with hot weather.

This is a vast area of peninsulas and water. The campgrounds at Wayne Fitzgerrell are spacious and offer memorable vistas of the area. Each site is mostly level, equipped with electric hookups, and under shade, making it an RVer's dream come true. But the allure of Wayne Fitzgerrell extends beyond its scenic campgrounds. It is an outdoor enthusiast's wonderland. You can indulge in various activities, from hunting and fishing to horseback riding and hiking. As the sun dips below the horizon, gather around a crackling campfire, exchange stories under the starlit sky, and create memories that will last a lifetime. The facilities at Wayne Fitzgerrell? There's a lodge, cabins, a swimming pool, and tennis courts - in varying states of wear. The restrooms and showers were in a state of disrepair or run-down during our visit but these seem to be temporary conditions. Go and enjoy! It's worth a stop. #RVAdventure #Illinois #WayneFitzgerrellSRA #TravelStories no

Thankfully we lucked out and we didn't get rained on but this place was still pretty busy. Depending on when you show up parking can be a bit Limited. The trails to the top is not too long either but the interaction is so long and breathtaking. I've never been to a park since I've been to Matheson State Park where you are able to climb on every little thing. The views here and the experience is unlike any other. It felt like I was back in the Smoky Mountains but with less tourists. They have public restrooms here as well though if there's a line it could take a while. Me and my wife spent a good few hours here and if you follow the trail it will take you right back to the parking lot. We also enjoyed that this place is also dog friendly too!

I also liked that the multiple or compiled sandstones was the last we saw as opposed to the first, like a grand finale. And then the gradual decline on the way down to complete the circle. This is a very quick route where you can see the famous camel rock actually many of the rocks look like faces ;)

    I made an air bnb reservation on the site. The dates were clearly available on the site. The…read morereservation and payment was entered, acknowledged and accepted. A reservation number was provided. I was asked to provide the expected time of check in and the reason for my travel. I reluctantly entered the reason as "to view solar eclipse" on April 8, 2024. The reason for my travel is none of Dan's business and in hindsight I shouldn't have provided it. Several hours later I get an email from Dan canceling the reservation with the statement, "The cabins are not available for eclipse viewing. We have something else planned for the eclipse viewing. Those dates should not have been available on the website. They should have been blocked off. That's a glitch." It was very unprofessional of Dan to cancel a reservation made on their own site with open availability and to inquire in to our personal travel plans. The cancelation was arbitrary and discriminatory. Regardless of what their own site says and allows you to do as far as making a reservation and providing payment, be aware Dan will backdoor your plans after you think you've made a reservation, even with a reservation number provided. This was a terrible business experience. Here's the real crux of the issue: The dates were not blocked off and were available For $115 per night. When he realized he can get so much more than that, Dan disallows my reservation. We'll see in the coming days/weeks what the new price is on those properties for those dates. Shame on Dan and Camp Manitowa.
