Your Hosts

 

Welcome to the closest KOA to Chicago and O’Hare International Airport

 

A family campground with planned activities on weekends from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. (hay-wagon rides, movies, games, kids crafts, bingo and a lot more)

Have fun at Donley’s Wild West Town next door, visit the Illinois Railway museum, see Santa’s Village Azoosment Park, visit Six Flags Great America, cool off at Magic Waters near Rockford or in our own crystal clear pool in a friendly and quiet country setting, with long, leveled and mostly shaded pull-through 30/50 amps RV site, special tent sites, 7 Cabins and complementary Wi-Fi throughout the park.

Take the “Metra” train from nearby Crystal Lake or Woodstock to visit Chicago for sightseeing, festivals, and tours. We are also in a convenient distance to the Woodfield Mall, Prime Outlet Discount Mall, and the Grand Victoria Riverboat Casino. Various local restaurants are within minutes.

    Well, I don’t speak German, but my grandparents did. Will I still be welcome? Hahahahaaaaa! That would be a fun trip, and since it would now be a chance for me to bump into my grandson from time to time, you just never know!

    wäre froh wenn Ihr mir Eure Mail-Adresse mitteilt, herzlichen Dank und viele Grüsse Käthi

  • Looks great! Hope you had a wonderful season. We are juste back from Lake Tahoe and Yosemite
    but I promise that next year I’ll drive north direction Chicago (still on our to do list) with family and dog (you accept dogs?). All the best Fabienne & family

      Thanks and that would be cool to reconnect in Chicago on a KOA. Dogs are welcomed as long they are not pitbulls etc.
      Chicago will be different than Tahoe and Yosemite.

      See you soon!!

    I believe we are fellow interns from the back home bakery, Mark told me you had settled into a KOA. Will you be there next season ? I motorcycle travel when I can & love the camper cabins. It would be great to know someone at the campground. Saw your post on the fresh loaf & thought I’d drop you a line.

      Hey Charlie,

      Yep I was up in Kalispell twice and loved it. Mark and Sharon are great people and they have a wonderful place to live.
      I have all intention to be at our KOA next summer too. Of course fellow TFLer and Back Home Bakery interns will get special treatment and probaly also a discount.

      Let me know when you are ready to make reservations next year. Maybe by then I have sorted out the problems with the health department and can also sell my bread.

    we drive up from south La. every summer and enjoy the campground, the new owners have made some improvements and the place is looking good.

    • Thomas

      Hey Willie,

      We are always happy when our guest enjoy our park, hopefully next year you will see even more improvements (not only the visitors policy)

      All the best
