This was the best one in the area for me. It's open all year round. WiFi and cable last I heard. Kinda of pricey, even in the off season. But, the price is worth it.
Do Not Stay at
RV PARK- HIDEAWAY LAKES, IL and here's why
After having a h*ll of a time, I finally found this place. The office was closed, there was no provision for after hours check-in. No phone number to call. No phone to use if you had a number for the park. No maps, no nothing. Well, there were tons of trees to run your RV into.
Finally found a guy riding around on his golf cart.He was dead drunk and trying to find a non-existent cigarette machine but he led me to the full hookup sites. This was the last help I go during my stay there.
Site very poorly laid out for today's RV's. Reminds me of a picket line for tying up your horse. Shared water outlets.
This place is a maze of roads. Some of which, end with no notice. The roads are narrow, non are marked and a lot of them have no turn around. Be prepared to backup. The road in is one way. The road out is also one way...but, find the exit. The people in the park were nice.
The managers, office personnel and workers couldn't care if you stayed there or not. The camp store is dirty, very cluttered, and just try to find something there. I know why Trailer Life slammed the place. There seemed to be a lot of family type stuff to do. But, after the hassle I had with finding a full hookup site, I wasn't too concerned about amenities. All I wanted was out.
Either arrive before sundown or bring a might big light, radar and a gps cause you're going to need it. Oh yeah, there were d*mned few lights in the park. They used a Christmas light to mark the sites.
Make sure your propane is full before you get there because the electricity has been known to go out for days at a time allowing everything to freeze in the near zero temps.
It's aptly named. GPS location - N41 38.775 W88 24.54
