Kankakee South KOA Holiday — Hotel in Sammons Point

What a fantastic KOA! The service was VERY friendly, the camp store had a lot of fun cute stuff like shirts and things. We needed s’mores sticks and there they were. They have a full menu of food that is delivered to your site. Everything from breakfast pizza and other breakfast items to a nice variety of lunch and dinner items if you don’t feel like cooking. Ice and firewood, delivered to your site and trash pick up throughout the day if left at the end of your site. We were in site 80, paw-pen site. It was like a nice sized back yard. Big tree, big cement patio with a gas grill, fire pit, bench and table with umbrella and four chairs. The fencing was at least 4’0 and completely closed to the ground, so the dogs couldn’t sneak out! The sewer hook-ups were basically out-of-site, with flowers and greens keeping them from being an eye sore. The showers, restrooms were very clean. They have a great game room with a pool table, air hockey, claw game, a couple newer games and a couple old time pinball machines. They were all decorated for Halloween, but the decorations were not lit up yet. This was a wonderful quite, relaxing time and only an hour from home. We will definitely be back just to enjoy the quiet and let the dogs be loose...

Positive: (5/5 Star Rating) This Memorial Day Weekend (2023) was our 2nd visit to our local Kankakee South KOA Holiday and it was wonderful (Lot 44 - Pull Through - Full Hookups - 30amp). Absolutely wonderful customer service, great sites, employees always wave and smile. The new pool renovation was nicely done and the kids seemed to enjoy it. KOA WiFi was good for your IPads, phones, and computers but the WiFi for our Roku tv streaming was not the best - the park was packed so I wont hold that against the park. AT&T Cell service you will only get 1 bar but it does work. Again, your phone will be able to use the KOA WiFi. RV sites were very level and clean. Ton of activities for kids and adults (hay ride, scavenger hunt, snow cones, etc) Very pet friendly with a dog park area.

Negative: (4/5 Star Rating) Be prepared on Fridays - Kankakee Speedway has racing every Friday night and you will hear it. It is about 1 mile away from the campground. We don't mind its kind of a white noise for us. If you are tent camping you will not have much shade but you will have a ton of space to utilize - a lot!

We love this campground - we made reservations for Labor Day Weekend (2023) and Memorial Day...

we had just purchased our first full sized travel trailer and needed to go somewhere to dump the grey and blank tanks. this was my very first time dumping the tanks so I was a little confused on my hose attachments that came with our trailer, so I went inside amd asked the lady who was working the counter if she would be willing to give me some assistance. Without hesitation she jumped up and said absolutely, she came out and helped me discover that I didn't have one of the fittings that would allow me to connect the extension line to reach the dump tank. she graciously offered to open the valves on my trailer If I could hold the end of the nossel into the dump tank opening. I didn't even stay at the campground and she went out of her way to make sure that I got everything taken care of. We will definetly be planning a weekend to come stay here in the future when we want to just go somewhere close by when we aren't out on a longer trip. Thank you very much for taking your time to help out a rookie camper, it was greatly...
