Belvidere East / Exit 170 KOA Journey

We just pulled in site #5. So far this KOA is nice and the owners have been so very helpful and the grounds are very nice. Level sites, fire pit and picnic table at each site. We asked to be put by the water. No problem. Lovely views. Love it!!

This by far was one of my favorite campgrounds! We got a nice spot in short notice after a long drive. They are a mile off the freeway but it’s pretty quiet. They have a menu where they will deliver to your camper and the customer service is fantastic! The playground was great for the kids and mine had a blast there! They have an arcade where you can play some old school games which I loved! The view was amazing! We were lucky and got to stay during a super moon! Bathrooms were really clean and the showers were great! Highly recommend!

Excellent place to stay. Entire staff was helpful and very friendly. You can even order food and they deliver to your trailer. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and the grounds immaculate. Will definitely stay there again if in the area.

This was a well kept campground. Unfortunately, the weather ruined our stay. Gravel sites were nearly level- we didn't have to unhook our 34ft trailer :) The playground looked brand new and had top of the line equipment. The kids loved it! The hosts were VERY welcoming and informed us of the dinner/ breakfast options. I was really looking forward to a bagel sandwich in the morning.... We did grab some local beer from the KOA store. I recommend the Porter! When we arrived, the weather was perfect with sunny skies. The campground had a lot of rain though, so spots around sites were muddy. This became an issue when we had to escape the storm that evening. Winds were 30-40 mph with gusts up to 70mph. We decided to hop in our extra car and leave while the storm blew through. We found an overpass just 1 mile up the road, and parked for at least a hour. When we thought it was safe, we went back to camp. Electricity was out and 2 RVs had tipped. Our massive trailer had shifted about 4 inches. The wind was still pretty bad, so we drove the RV back to the overpass to sleep for the night. I think if there was an evacuation/ safety plan for inclement weather, I would have rated this a 5.
