Went to bullfrog lake on a Sunday evening with my 5 year old son. I grew up fishing this pond/lake and wanted to give my son the same experience even tho it is limited now with the new campground I was told previously as long as we don't go in the camp ground ( past the gates) it was ok even tho we weren't camping well apon arrival we started to walk to the water when I was stopped by a employee named John Roche he proceeded to tell me that we could not be on the premises if we were not registered campers even though there was a group who I witnessed drive in and walk right to the dock and use the table and chairs and we're never asked a question just kind of sad even with a small child John Roche decided to turn us away have camped here many times since it opened and had a great time but the employees that care for the grounds and main office are very rude and very inconsiderate wish cook county Forest preserve would pay more attention to the people who run...

Read moreI absolutely love coming here. I can't wait to actually do an overnight camping here but usually we go there for lunch They don't serve lunch we bring our own as a picnic type thing) walk around the trails the staff is very friendly the bathrooms are clean it's just a really really nice beautiful place to go.
