Big Rock Campground

Stayed 4 nights- first come first served- no reservations- bring plenty of hose for water connections- first site we tried was just too far to connect- toilets but no showers available- electric/ water no full hook ups. Clean, with large sites, about a 5 mile walk around the nearby lake- saw several deer and rabbits - T-Mobile worked just fine- no Wi-Fi

We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 35 for 3 days in late June. This is a relatively large CG, just under 100 sites, and fortunately it was only about 25% full, because they do not accept reservations. The CG is very clean and well maintained. The water hookups on most sites were way at the back, or on the"wrong side", which might present issues for some.  AT&T coverage quite good, with 3 Bars of 5G service and speeds up to 22 MB/s. We had a clear view of the southern and northern sky, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site and Starlink had speed up to 19 MB/s.

I wouldn't recommend this "Campgrounds" for anyone not in a trailer. You're going to be just camping in a big open flat field.

Also if you're not a resident of the local county, you're going to be paying an additional $10 per night.

There are no showers. There is one flush toilet and two pit toilets.

Nice clean area to camp. Most of the sites are for travel camper or RV’s.

A couple of drive Ups.

50/30 amps hookups. Water hookups as well. Great water pressure.

Running water restrooms & non-running water restrooms.

2-dump sites they have sections for tent camping- but down fall is they do not have showers.

Overall experience was great and we will return.

Newer camp ground that is Clean and well maintained. Has water and electric. The camp ground has a small pond and some trails. Just lacking a playground and shower house. Came across a lot of carpenter bees.

We bought our first RV in 2019 and this place was in town so we used it to learn how to better rv camp after work some days. They have a short hiking path that leads to big rock forest preserve where there is a tiny beach that we use to put our kayaks and canoes into for floating parties. Fishing is decent and it has a 1 mile loop that goes up and down hill around the lake. Peaceful and quiet. Great place to get away and chill.

Had Electric and Water hookup. Very roomy and level sites. It's about 9 years old, so no trees. No swimming or fishing. Only hiking trails.

We are here on Memorial Day weekend and it is full, but still very quiet. The sites are well maintained including the fire pit areas. Water hookup is back from pad so as others have said, bring the longer water hose. Nearby Siegler Lake and Big Rock Creek in the Big Rock Forest Preserve are picturesque.

We stayed here for a weekend. It's a nice place. Campsites are flat. The water hookups are kind of far from the individual sites (make sure you have extra hose).

Not worth the drive here to tent camp if you live outside of Kane county. Even their 9 hike-in primitive sites hugging the treeline lack privacy. Yes, all the sites are very flat. It's a nice field if that's what you look for in a campground.

Nice campground with big, level sites. Even though they don’t take reservations, there is plenty of space and availability. Lovely grasslands, ponds, hiking trails, but the lack of trees and privacy isn’t my preference. Still great option not far from Chicago.

As someone who normally camps in state parks with only electricity hookups, this site was a welcome treat.

Rig: 2020 Micro Minnie 1700BH + Ford F-250

Campers: 2 parents, 3 boys ranging from 7 years old to 2 years old

Campsite Pros: Water + 50amp hookups. Wide, open spaces for kids to ride bikes and explore wildflowers. Duck viewing. Quiet. Almost 100 improved sites. Full bars on Verizon. Amazing sunsets. Sites seem to be mostly level.

Cons: Walkup only - no reservations taken. $35 a night is a bit steep. AT&T signal is spotty at times. Water hookup is far behind camping pad - bring extensions!

Grass camping. The spaces are pretty level. The trees will be terrific in about 20 years. There is nothing much to do here, or nearby. It’s clean and the comfort stations are new. There is electric at the sites and water spigots throughout, although not really at each space. I saw where some campers hooked about 150’ of hose to spigots behind the loops to run to their campers. The dump station is good. It’s expensive, for what is there, if you are not a Kane County resident. There appears to be some equestrian space and trails. Quiet.

Took my daughter for a simple overnight and it was great. Open campground with nearly zero tree. We had a great campfire but didn’t take advantage of the whole park to explore. She wants to again this year but we will spend more time hiking.

Convenient location to the Fox Valley area but follow map directions because Google will take you to the south entrance which does not connect with the campground.

Nice clean bathrooms as well!

Nice clean place. Activities for the kids and adults

No Shade, and no showers. This is a relatively new campground not too far (about an hour drive) from Chicago. We looked at this place when we were looking for a spot to camp for a local wedding. But, no shade in the Illinois heat and no shower made it unacceptable. There were paved roads and the sites looked large and level. There was water and electric And a dump stations at the entrance/exit.

New facility that is quiet and peaceful. Surrounded by trees and open prairie. Often used by local youth groups for hiking and scouting.
