Holiday Acres Camping Resort

Review: Holiday Acres Campground Our recent stay at Holiday Acres Campground was nothing short of a nightmare. From the moment we arrived, we felt unwelcome and targeted by both the staff and the locals. It's hard to say definitively if this place was racist, but the behavior we experienced certainly felt that way. Firstly, we were harassed and intimidated by the locals. They would drive around our campsite at night, yelling racial slurs and other offensive comments. This created a disturbing and unsettling atmosphere that made our stay extremely uncomfortable. The staff were equally unpleasant. We were falsely accused of peeing in the pool without any evidence, which seemed more like an excuse to target us than a genuine concern. Additionally, one staff member consistently displayed unprofessional and rude behavior. She berated one of us and treated him condescendingly, as if he were a boy rather than an adult. She exhibited this condescending behavior with the locals as well. Requests for assistance were met with eye rolls and obvious reluctance. Her dismissive and offensive attitude was consistent throughout our stay. The final straw came when we were kicked out for calling her a name after she persistently treated us with disrespect. While name-calling isn't appropriate, her behavior towards us was intolerable and unprovoked. The facilities were also abysmal. The bathrooms constantly smelled like fart, possibly due to the high sulfur content in the water, which only added to the overall negative experience. The showers were yellow with orange bits that could be scraped off, and the lack of cleanliness was appalling. The playgrounds looked so poorly maintained that you could get a splinter just from looking at them. To make matters worse, we were falsely accused of stealing by a local camper. Despite promises to review security footage, no evidence was provided, and no apology was offered for the false accusation. The pool area was another disappointment. The pool was cold, likely because it had just been filled. While the pool area itself was nice, it lacked lounging chairs, which would have enhanced comfort and relaxation. Overall, our experience at Holiday Acres Campground was horrific. The combination of harassment from locals, the hostile attitude of the staff, the filthy facilities, and the lack of amenities made for an extremely uncomfortable and distressing stay. I would strongly advise anyone considering this campground to stay far away, especially if you are looking for a welcoming and respectful environment.

I stayed on the island where the tent campers are. The island was nice, we were the only tent. We ended up calling it mosquito island as a joke. Bugs are bad, but it is July in the Midwest. We were site 719. No fire ring, there is a picnic table. Average size site. The river that site is on is beautiful. Natural setting is nice. No amenities were up and running. No mini golf, no pool, no game room, nothing. The playground was ok. The kids liked it but it's dated. The restaurant on site was good and friendly. Staff has been friendly. Probably won't be back. Paid about $70 for a tent site. That number makes sense if all the amenities are up and running and are nice.

Just spent the weekend here on the west side of the park for labor day weekend (fri-mon) with my fiancé and two young kids. Lots of people leaving bad reviews for silly little things. let me say first off this place is HUGE. plenty of room for the kids and the dogs and just a short walk from the kish. good fishing and friendly campers. although the playgrounds and other attractions are not kid friendly or run down that’s not the point of camping anyways! it’s about spending time with your loved ones around a campfire enjoying each other’s company! the sites are level and the staff is great. for $30 a night (electric and water hookup) you can’t beat it. we will absolutely be back.

They have a lot of campsites for tents and campers. There are permanent campers as well. Very friendly staff. A shallow river runs thru the site which is perfect for sitting in with a chair while the kids play.

Family friendly. Far from off grid camping. Quiet at night so very pleasant
