Very nice, affordable and peaceful campsite. Stayed one night for tent camping, campsite was clean and accommodating with fire pit, picnic table, lights, Wi-Fi, and power plug. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Perfect camping site.
Peaceful campground, well maintained, beautiful views of the Upper Peoria Lake/Illinois River. We enjoyed a nice pull-through full hookup site that required minimal leveling. Water has a lot of iron so does smell/taste weird.
Friendly staff. Kayak and Pontoon to rent. Trails go all over the entire park! Clean showering facilities. Our furnished cabin faced the lake it was an incredible view. We had fun fishing and sitting by the campfire in the evenings. Overall definitely worth the 5 stars!!!! Thanks Ryan and all of the staff out there! We will revisit soon.
Hosts were very welcoming. Cozy and quiet location. Lots of room.
This park is pretty huge so make sure you know which campground you’re going to. The sites here are all shaded (at least in the Pine Grove section I was in). I was next to a large shower house that had plenty of hot water and everything was super clean. The park staff were very friendly and helped me get to the campsite I needed. Beware that if you come after 10pm, there is no way to pay for your spot so you’d have to choose a random spot and come back the next morning to pay.
The sites themselves are HUGE and some of them would accommodate the largest camping rigs you could imagine. Everything in Pine Grove is 50 amp. There are playgrounds for your kids to play in. Cell service was excellent for Verizon and AT&T. Not sure about T Mobile. 60mbps down and 16 up for AT&T.
Beautiful views. Great sites. Excellent communication from the manager. We got a pull-through site in the middle. We brought our two dogs and they loved this place. Our kids did too. No there's no playground, but our 7 and 8 year old girls loved this place. No there's no pool. It was very quiet and peaceful. Every day the manager and his crew were working on maintaining the grounds. The only complaint - there's no sign on the bathroom/shower house! Please put up a sign! (It's right next to the office, but you cannot tell it's a bath house because it looks just like the cabins next to it. There's no signs to tell you where the dumpster is either. Ask Don - he's very friendly and accommodating. Oh, the water. Like the other reviewers stated, the water is not for drinking. Bring cases of bottled water. But the water is fine for showering or other things. Even with water filters, it is still brown. I'm guessing that is because of the river. Good luck finding a site with no shade. There's mature trees everywhere! Also, it was very quiet and peaceful. The showers and bathrooms are amazing! Very clean. We'll be back!
Always a great experience at spring lake. Fishing, boat rentals, convenience store and shower house are all great. Beautiful and we’ll maintained.
I came to this campground because of a local event where I knew I was going to be gone a decent amount of time, but also have some down time. This place was perfect for my needs. I got a full hookup site, easy access, extremely quiet. Great views at the opposite side of the campground from where I was. Looks like lots of "permanent" sites mixed with regular turnover. Also looked like a lot of sites were occupied by people working in "traveling" industries, where this place was their temporary home. I would come back again for a similar situation, but the playground is very minimal, so I wouldn't come back with my kid.
Very open place. Great spots to fish, and everything here is shaded.
Great staff! Helpful. Pulled out privacy tent to remedy toilet concerns. Small flies or gnats quite annoying. Pretty, quiet, lush. Would worry about mosquitoes in late summer.
The shower houses are amazing! This campground is very well maintained and right on the Illinois river. The view of Peoria at night is beautiful
Beautiful, spacious and quiet campground. Park rangers and staff are so kind and respectful of keeping the areas cleaned up and cared for! Lots of tree shade for picnicking, hiking trails, and even a pool! Bathrooms were always stocked and cleaned, plus they have HOT SHOWERS! Woohoo! Such a wonderful time at Scott County Park! Can’t beat it! :D
Only stayed overnight, but it looked amazing there. Staff were great!
Gravel pad for one night. Didn’t use facilities, pool was closed for the season. Very nice walk around the lake, dog park was not large, but clean with enough room to run. There were much nicer spots, but we had all we needed for one night.
Loads of sites with what appears to be FHU’s. On the upper short term sites, they are concrete pads and on the remainder of sites they are gravel. Short term sites are close packed with small patios between the rigs. As a KOA, this is well kept. Bathrooms and showers are quite acceptable. They have cabins as well that are in a separate area distant from the RV sites. There is a small putt-putt, a pool, child water area and swing and bounce attraction.
Great little campground with nice staff/owners. The tent sites are nicely tucked away from the RVs, with a row of bushes to separate you from your neighbor. Nice shade. I didn't check out the Porta potty set up for the tenters but hiked up to the building instead. Very clean! I wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy the activities in the area along the Hennepin canal but we had a family wedding to attend in Michigan the next day.
Millpoint is a nice campground again not a lot of internet, but since there are not a lot of folks it is not bad. Great TV.
Loved the water. We went in Fall so not that many people camping. It was nice.
We needed to stay in Davenport area for the night (traveling from South Dakota to Maryland) and the reviews were high so we stopped here. Did not disappoint- very quiet, huge lot, clean and manicured, large bathhouse. Next time, we will hopefully stay for longer so we can try out the amenities!
Owner was friendly and campsite was clean and spacious. We had a beautiful view of the river and we’re right next to the water so the kids could fish.
This place felt like real camping. The spots were pretty spread out and easy pull through. It was full hookup with electric, water, and sewage. The host was fast as soon as we pulled up he printed a receipt and escorted us to our spot with his truck. He even gave a coupon to a pizza shop that he owned which was super cool.
Plenty of big shady tree and river front views. Bugs werent too bad. We were able to do some fishing and kayaking. We caught some bluegill, buffalo, and large mouth bass.
It was dog friendly with plenty of room to walk your dogs around.
The only thing that was weird was there was no dumpsters to be found. We looked everywhere for them and could not find them. We ended up hauling our trash with us.
Camped here over the 2022 Memorial Day weekend and had a great time. We were on the river side so we could fish, watch the sunset. Large sites part shade. The owner Don, what can you say, he was great, if you needed anything he was there to accommodate. We did not use the shower house as we had a camper but we had to check them out, they were spotless. We are definitely going back.
Campground is very well kept with very clean showers and restrooms. Golf carts are allowed here which is a plus. There are some river front sites that are electric only, the full hook ups are away from the river. Some of the sites can be a bit cramped but everyone was nice so it didn’t bother me. There are a lot of seasonal campers there as well. I payed $28 a night for a full hook up.
Nice overnight stay during winter. Showers are spacious, with personal locking door and hot hot water. Beautiful walk with trees and lakes, even in the rain. There may be some full timers, but not in our area. Check in was easy and the on-site staff are very friendly.
I enjoyed as well as family peaceful ✌
I had fun nice little get away from every one nature is everywhere compared to city I love it
My wife, son, and I recently stayed here on our trip back home from Iowa. The campground was clean and quiet.
This rustic looking camp has a lot of hidden gems. Wide sites. FHUs. Right on the water. Level sites. Lots and lots of trees. It’s natural and rustic. Owner/Mgr is great and low-key and just a nice guy. Was honest about everything, especially this time of the year. Much appreciated
