Old Bates Campground

We were also disappointed that there was no pool. Maybe the website needs to be updated! The beach at Rend Lake was very enjoyable! (Saved the weekend!) The shower house was dreary, and no hot water in Women's shower...burrr! There seemed to be a drainage problem as there was standing stagnant water. We will not be back to this campground!

Found this campground on Passport America, nicely placed off the interstate, price was great and so was the hospitality. Perfect for a quick stop on a long drive.

We were on our way to KC and we were pleasantly surprised at how good a value the place was! The owner Robert was very nice and accommodating! We will be back again! For the price you can't beat it. On Passport America it is only 13.50 a night. Laundry is only 1.00 for wash and . 75 to dry.

We stayed at Old Bates for the solar eclipse while en route to WI. The place feels old and looks a little beat up and has lots of year round and seasonal folks. But don't let that turn you off. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful. Access to our site was uneventful. It was a gravel pad with full hook ups and a grassy side yard. No wifi, but cell signal was strong. Quiet camp, no kids around while we were there, but there was a playground, a picnic shelter, and the warmest, cleanest pool. We didn't want to get out. We will definitely stay here again if we're in the area. Oh yeah, there are a couple big domestic bunnies hopping around 😊
