“My premium sight was full hook up but I only had 2 dump hoses and still could not reach the hole.”

I arrived about 1 hours and 45 minutes early and they told me my site was available but they would charge me $10 per hour for early so $20 later I pulled into my pull thru gravel site.

This was a great place to stay while touring all the Lincoln-related sites. The host who checkednus in was very friendly and helpful. Although near Springfield (about 20 minutes), it was still way out in the country and very quiet. Our campsite was in good shape and was quite peaceful despite the campground being pretty full. There was a dumping station and fresh water tap at the back of the campground.
They do have WIFI but it wasn't working when we were there.
The only negative is the narrow road that the entrance is on. It's only wide enough for 1 1/2 cars so, we had to pull over for an oncoming vehicle. We have a Class B so it was ok but it appeared the larger campers might find it challenging.

We will try to avoid it in the future on a busy weekends. It is a typical KOA campground with full facilities. Unfortunately it was dusty when dry and muddy when wet. It was crowded and noisy. There was campfire smoke every evening.

We made a mistake on our original reservation. We thought we reserved Wednesday and Thursday night when we actually reserved Tuesday and Wednesday night. On our way there Wednesday we got a cancellation email (because of no call, no show). We called immediately and explained our mistake, they reinstated our Wednesday reservation and told us there wasn't anything available for Thursday night. However, they said they would try and move some things around and see what they could do. They called back a short time later and said we were good for Thursday night as well. So it all worked out. It's a clean park with a pool and playground. It's set back quite far off the highway which is a little different for a KOA Journey. Small park, maybe 40 spots and a decent little store as well.

They never did fill up. Very friendly management. Narrow sites. I am still cleaning ash off of my car and rig from the fire next door to say nothing about the smoke. Will return to store our trailer only because it is closest to our grandchildren.

Cell phone reception (Sprint) was okay; the bathhouse was tiled and clean; the staff was friendly. But our surge protector/EMS indicated that there was an open ground. When my husband reported this to the office he was told, in short, that the alternative site would be just as finicky and to not use our EMS, Sounds silly, but in our defense, we were hot and tired and had already paid for our site. The only other time this has happened (at a state park) the ranger moved us without question. The next morning I walked around the campground and noticed that several of the pull through sites with Class A's and a Class B had EMS/surge protectors connected. I should have asked to be moved to a pull through site.

We came through in November of 2020 and spent a single night here.
We had a pull through site with full hookups. We just needed a place to stay for the night and this met that need. We had a no contact registration.
It’s a bit odd here. The playground equipment is quite run down. The kids had a blast playing on it but they both ripped pants on the rusty bent edges of the merry go round.
It must have been hunting season as there were gunshots at dusk and dawn. I wouldn’t plan a trip here but with the world shutting down around us as we booked for home because of COVID it was OK.

When we pulled up at the “Stop Here Sign” we saw a woman in a yellow KOA shirt getting on her golf cart. As soon as she saw us, she shook her head in obvious annoyance that she had to go back into the office. I thought to myself “well that’s a great greeting.” But, I‘m a kill them with kindness type of person so I smiled and said hi. I saw here name was Linda.
We are VIP KOA members and have camped all over the United States (30 states so far) in many, many KOA’s. I wanted to use some of my KOA reward points to take some money off of our stay and she told me that’s not allowed for 1 night stays. I know that’s a lie because I have used that reward many times for one night stays. Linda seemed annoyed that I even asked but I did not want to push the issue.
After research I found out Linda is the owner of this KOA. And many people have had issue with the way she can treat some people.
Honestly, I’ve never come across such a unpleasant worker or owner at a KOA as Linda was.
With Camping at a KOA I have certain expectations. And one of them is the KOA motto of “Making it Great”. Linda is failing at that. First impressions really are everything. And Linda failed miserably at KOA’s “Making it Great” motto.
I did not use the facilities so I can not review that part.
Both directions into the camp you have very narrow roads with sharp blind curves. If you come from the west you will have to cross a narrow one vehicle at a time bridge.
The cell service is 1 bar AT&T 5G with spotty service. And 1 bar Verizon lte with ok service.
Sites are very close together. Roads inside the campground are decent.
I would NEVER come to this campground (Springfield KOA Journey, In Rochester, Illinois) again, based on Linda’s unpleasant and rude demeanor, the cell coverage and the roads to get to the park.

Stayed here from 4/15/19 to 4/19/19. It was early in the season when I stayed here and there weren't many other campers. It was also extremely muddy when I was here, which obviously isn't the fault of the park. I actually saw someone get both their fifth wheel and truck stuck in the mud. The staff had to come pull them out with a tractor and fill the ruts with dirt. I definitely give the staff props for helping with this, as they were out wading through the mud and digging for several hours.
My site was a nice pull-through with a picnic table, fire ring, and shade tree. Check-in was easy and the staff was friendly. The pool wasn't open yet and I didn't use any of the amenities like bathrooms, laundry, etc. so I can't comment on those. Everything seemed to be in good shape though. I think the only downside to this campground for me was the location. I was looking for full-hookups with easy access to Springfield and it was kind of far away. There were a lot of narrow roads to get out there. This could also be a benefit though if you're looking for something secluded away from the highway noise.
