We chose this campground under the assumption that it was close to the expressway. To our suprise,we had to drive 2 miles,through very narrow streets, to the location that was located 100 ft. from the highway. The noise from the traffic was so load, we had to keep the windows closed and the TV volume turned up.This park can saftly accomodate motorhomes 30ft. or under. The staff were very nice and helpful but the park location (along the expressway) made this park one we would never return to. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This appears to be an older KOA with some recent improvements. Cable system and electric boxes appear new. Fresh gravel on most sites and roads, but could use some more on roads. Long, level pull throughs. Staff very friendly and helpful. We would rate it higher except that is is right next to a rough section of interstate and the trucks "thump" through all night. The fan that we use to drown the noise was not adequate. We realize the owners can't help the noise, but we probably will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Older KOA but well maintained from what I can tell. The main complaint is that it is right on the highway. Being a rough section of pavement, there was a lot of highway noise. There was also a fair bit of train noise. Other than that, the campground itself was fine. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Only reason this is not 'perfect 10' is no water/sewer. Otherwise this is one of our favorite campgrounds, especially since it stays open until the end of November when most nearby state and Corps of Engineers (COE) campgrounds are closed. We have used it only for easy one night stopovers along I-57. It is easily accessible from the interstate. We intend to come back and stay longer to enjoy the beautiful lakeside sites. Rate is based on them being COE which means they accept America the Beautiful Access Pass. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Awesome, awesome campsite. We thought it was very spacious and clean. The views of the sunset by the lake were goregous! We would love to stay here again if we are in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Large COE campground at the south end of Rend Lake, by the dam. Sites are generous size and private - you don't feel cramped or closed in. There is 1 large extremely clean and well maintained shower house among the 5 camping loops, with smaller comfort stations scattered about in each loop. Nice views of the lake - in some areas you can keep your boat tied up at your site. Courteous camp hosts. There are 2 dump stations. This campground is about 10 minutes outside the town of Benton, where there is a Wal-mart and several restaurants. It's a great campground for fishermen. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in the Pine Tree Loop - full hook-up site. The sites were nice, lots of shade. Surrounded by pine trees so it can be some what tricky when parking the camper and when letting out the awning. Some of the camper pads could use some patching and leveling; ours was a little bumpy where the pavement was buckling a little. We love the fire pits and concrete picnic tables. The bike trail is nicely paved and not too hilly. The playgrounds are nice and shaded, this one needed some more wood chips but otherwise very nice. We will definitely return next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice, peaceful park on large Rend Lake reservoir. There are very few full hookup sites all located in reservable areas, but most sites have 50 amp power only. Central water available. There are 5 loops all reservable except Pin Oak loop (sites 199 to 220). Pin Oak sites are larger and better spaced than other loops. We were in Pin Oaks loop the first weekend in June, saw several open sites each day. Lots of birds. Lots of shade. Our favorite round steel fire pits and a table at each site. We will come here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Campground located on Rend Lake. Sites were fairly well spaced; paved. This particular campground is in the middle of a Pine Forest so there were pine needles and pine cones everywhere, but not a huge problem. Bathrooms were fairly clean. Quiet family friendly campground. Wonderful beach, bike trails and great fishing. We will definately be back. The full hook-up sites book quickly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
