Camp Nauvoo

We tent camped at Camp Nauvoo. The staff was nice and friendly. The campground was really green and the campgsite was trash free. When we booked our site we were told that we would get wifi, AC, campfire, and electricity, but our site did not have any of those things. In fact our tent site was just a patch of grass, as were all the other campsites. The bathroom situation was subpar. They have a cement brick building of bathrooms available but we were told we were not allowed to use those because of a youth group. This was unfortunate as we had booked and paid the camp just as well as they had. Instead of the cement building bathroom, they had us use the RV bathrooms/ shower house. Which was a trailer/plywood structure. The bathrooms were not clean and filled with bugs, so not a very pleasant experience. The showers were surprisingly clean and we were impressed with the hot water. Unfortunately the youth group that was at the campground was incredibly rude and were screaming into the night well past midnight. They were playing on the playground, slamming cabin doors, screaming, and sneaking around. The campground should really implement quiet hours so that all guests can have a great sleeping experience.

It's a great camp, you can tent, RV, camper, and cabin. It is a little outdated, the bathrooms rnt the cleanest aka spiderwebs and bugs. It has a park for little people and it has a candy store.

Spent last night tent camping at this location. First, the tent sites aren't actually sites. It's just grass. And it's all on a slope, so you'll slide down during the night. But they are nicely shaded! The sites we were at had electrical boxes, but we didn't use them so no comment there. It did have a charcoal grill, which we used as a tiny table since there are ZERO tables at any of the sites. Made dinner fun. Also, watch for mosquitoes and poison ivy. They do have a spigot with cool, decent water for drinking. And we didn't think the bathrooms were awful. Not hotel quality, but pretty standard for a youth camp site. Plenty of really hot water for the showers, which is what I cared about. There's also a store with snacks and ice, just not sure what the hours are. Our real complaint is about the lack of quiet hours. Although there weren't any listed on their website, or posted anywhere, I have never stayed at a campground that didn't enforce some sort of quiet hours, so I assumed this campsite would be the same. Apparently not. At 11 pm there was a group of teenagers sitting on the playground right next to our tent having a conversation. Elsewhere in the camp more kids were playing some game that involved screaming, yelling, and clapping. This continued until nearly midnight. Maybe it's fine for the RV campers (although I can't imagine that they would enjoy all the screaming either), but if you are looking for a tent site, look elsewhere. I don't think it's fair of this camp to offer sites to multiple groups/individuals if they aren't going to require their youth groups to be respectful and quiet when others are sleeping. Next time we will camp at the state park instead. We've been tent camping across the country this summer and this was hands down the worst experience we've had. All it would take would be enforced quiet hours for this to be a really great place to stay.

Great customer service. We were excited to be able to have a small camp fire.
