Kankakee South KOA Holiday - Chebanse, Illinois

This KOA is one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. It is immaculately clean. The bathrooms are perfect and well kept up. The grounds are terrific. Check in staff was fabulous. They pick up your trash at the end of your campsite. They deliver wood ice or pizza. We did not partake of the pizza but we did partake of the wood delivery and it’s so convenient. This is a great location outside of Chicago. It is about a 50 minute drive but we liked being out of the city in a nice quiet area

Great experience for Halloween with family and sharing treats with fellow campers. Staff bends over backwards to get you situated at your site and delivering anything you need like firewood, pizza, or ice. Already booked for next year's festivities.

What a beautiful campground! The workers who checked us in were some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered in my travels and we're very thorough with letting us know how everything worked. I loved that they would send you text messages to remind you of important times and things going on. We had a tent campsite and it was great. Electric and water. The bathrooms were very clean and there were showers that were well taken care of.

The outdoor pool looked great and everyone was friendly and happy.

Quick jaunt from 57. Good campground for a quick overnight with hookups, or a weekend away. The staff is among the nicest and most helpful. All amenities on site you’d come to expect from a KOA. On a summer weekend there was a fair amount of activities to keep adults and children occupied. Very pleasant surprise from a KOA in what seems to be the middle of nowhere Illinois.

This review is based off of one quick night there. Seeing as how our day didn't go as planned and we arrived later than we hoped, having someone meet us outside and take us to our campsite was nice, so we could get set up. However, the part I don't like about that is not getting a map of the campground, to know where shower houses and things are located, or campground rules. I did find it on the app, but it was too late. The bathroom my son's used to shower was clean, but odd that it is only one toilet/shower combo. What we didn't like about the campground is the poor layout of the sites. The septic is located about 1 foot from the neighbors picnic table, and the water hookup was in their space. We ended up not being able to dump our septic out of courtesy, because the people next to us were out there cooking and eating at their table. Acceptable for one quick night, wouldn't want to stay longer than that.

This campground has a very friendly staff! There is a children’s playground and a pool, which was closed for the season during my stay. The site and roads were gravel, so expect some dust on your rig. My site was not level and if I had been staying more than 1 night, I would have broken out my levelers. But since I was only there for a night, I dealt with it. The campground was very quiet and had a well equipped store. They also make pizza on site, which I did not try.

A friend and I camped here the first night of our vacation this past June. We stayed here several years ago and had a great experience. This time was no different!! The employees we encountered were VERY friendly and helpful. The grounds are well-kept. The bathhouse was very nice. The camp site was great for tenting. Overall, this is a great place to camp.

Best Paw pen we have ever had hands down! It's a smaller Holliday than we have stayed at. This KOA was clean and set up nice. They have pizza and wings that they will bring to your camper. Very nice big play set for the kids. They have a pool, but it is on the smaller side. We would stay there again if we were ever in the area!
