We had a great time here. Customer Service was great and campgrounds were very clean. A great place to bring your family. The owners were very helpful. I will definitely come back. The price was good and didn't have any problems with other campers. Very spacious campsites for privacy.

Only went here because everything around starved rock was full. That alone should have been a warning but we went anyway. When we arrived we were greeted with a very old sign with a ridiculous list of rules and a security bar as if we were entering Fort Knox. The lady seemed pleasent on the phone but had an attitude...

This campground is actually pretty cute when you first pull in. What was a turn off were the rude employees. Also the site is a breeding ground for Mosquitos. I've been in some buggy places but this was outrageous. Swarms upon swarms all day long and they are impervious to repellents. Decent price if there is absolutely no where else... More

Nothing fancy just plain old camping. Experienced campers will know what I mean. There is access to a nice waterfall. It's also close to Starved Rock. If you want luxury... More

Passing thru Illinois after being on the road for two months we were bound to meet up with a doozy. The first impression is White Oaks Campground is of Sanford & Sons. Ok, it is camping. Then there are all the rules on makeshift signs everywhere and a price list that adds on a few dollars for this and that.... More
