Grand Chain Lodge & Campground - Grand Chain, Illinois

Great place. Quiet and out of the way. The cabins are nice, haven't stayed in one yet. I come to hunt and haul my camper. Campground is nice. You pay with cash or check I was told.

Our family of 8 enjoyed this campground and the people were great to work with. Came out for the eclipse and would have stayed longer if not for the rain and thunderstorms coming and us in our tents. They have power and water and sewage hookups. Some ponds to fish and play great view of the river and landscape leveling on the campsites restrooms and showers.

We had to use their dock as winds were getting dangerous, nobody around, so we will pick up trash in the area and spend some money in town.

I can never say thank you enough to Phil and Tracy for their hospitality and such a beautiful place to stay when we were in need. You have a magical place that is so very beautiful. We wish you both the very best. Michelle and Brett

Stayed at the campground. They have a vineyard, rooms, cabins and a beautiful view of the Ohio river. Only thing is what i hate about camping anyway. The bathrooms for campers are a ways from some of the sites and did not always lock. But they have not been open that long so they are getting there

Some remodeling has apparently occurred, and one cannot access the deck from your room. But, not a big deal. The deck is huge, and includes seating for the restaurant, and there are plenty of seats for all visitors. The view of the Ohio river is awesome. We watched fireworks over the river that must have been from the casino, which is a fair distance away. We couldn't hear them, but we could see them and it was nice. Tug boats would sometimes shine their light at us. No frills- a plain, basic hotel room. But, it was nice enough, and we will defintely go back. The deck was fantastic, and we enjoyed ourselves very much.

I had confirmed via phone that there were to be available campsites with showers. This was for overnight on August 16th.
I arrived in good fashion to find no one available. The lodge has been closed for sometime as evidences by the dust and collection of various equipment in the hallway visible thru the windows. Seems to be in the midst of a renovation then stopped. The parking lot was cracked with grass and weeds growing thru.
Called the number to ask about shower etc and no answer. Place was beautiful but very desolate with no sign of anyone around.
I left to a hotel room and received a call back two hours later.
They only asked if I was still there to which I advised I was not. They said ok then and Good bye.

Overall - the website is no longer up and from past reviews, the place was last active in 2020 and seems to have not been re-opened.

The Grand Chain Lodge is on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River at its widest point. The view is breathtaking. Our room had a entry to the deck and its so peaceful. The rooms have 2 queen beds and are clean and comfortable. No cable tv, but that was kinda nice after a while. Staff was friendly abd very accomodating. Great stay!
