Accessible via paved roads, Kankakee South KOA accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. The campground operates seasonally from April through October and accepts reservations for both short-term and extended stays. Sites feature fire pits and plastic picnic tables that campers can easily relocate and clean.
The facility includes clean bathrooms with hot showers, laundry facilities, and a game room that provides indoor space during inclement weather. A small pool offers cooling relief during summer months, though visitors note the water tends to run cool. The campground maintains a dog park and allows pets throughout the property. Daily trash pickup and amenities like firewood and ice available via text delivery add convenience for campers.
Road noise from nearby traffic and occasional ATV activity affects some sites, particularly those closer to the entrance. Jennifer D. found "the campground was nice and clean" with reasonable pricing. The Kankakee River runs nearby, offering kayaking opportunities when water levels permit, though spring flooding can make paddling unsafe.
Book ahead during peak season, as the compact layout means sites fill quickly on weekends. The campground serves as a practical base for exploring places to camp near Kankakee or accessing regional attractions.
