Big Rock Campground

The campground is kept up very well, and is very clean. There are plenty of water spigots, fire rings with grills and electric at every site. It is planned out well and roomy. The equestrian sites are not as well thought out and you can’t get to the dump station without traveling through the entire campground. However, there are no children’s play area nor shade trees. The trails are all wide, multi-use gravel paths that travel all on the outside of the park. There is one path, on the campground side, that loops in one wooded area that is a wonderful break from the sun. Across the suspension bridge, on the other side, there is another loop in the trees that is also very nice. All of their trails are kept up very nicely. They would have more patrons if they utilized the wooded areas mor

This campground is Fabulous, clean, quite and friendly people. Hiking, bike riding, fishing and relaxing. We met Alex he made the best smoked wings and sausage. We will be back.

We had a great stay here a few weeks ago. The site we had was well maintained, a nice gravel pad to park, amazing water pressure, stable power, and awesome people all around. There was a slight issue after quiet hours where teenagers were acting like teenagers screaming and yelling etc etc. We could have cared less about the noise, but the 5 0 came through and had a talk with them. We will be back to stay again for sure!

Big Rock Campground is a decent spot with some highlights but also a few deal-breakers for us. The trails are a nice touch, great for riding e-bikes or getting in a good hike. It has a laid-back, family-friendly vibe with a mix of tent campers and RVs. All sites are gravel with no concrete pads. Most of the gravel spots are growing grass in the parking areas. While the grounds are mowed regularly, a little extra maintenance or spraying would go a long way in improving the overall experience. There’s not much shade, the trees are young and provide little to no cover for RVs. Facilities are basic: no showers, just toilets. There’s no sewer hookup, and the $15 charge to use the dump station each time feels excessive. At $41 a night, that really should be included or baked into the nightly f

I met three friends with our horses at Big Rock Camp ground. There is a large area designated for parking horse trailers with easy access to pull in and pull out. There is a large shelter with picnic tabled and several water spickets. Bathrooms and trails are close. We rode for about 1.5 hours on well marked trails and didn't see the whole forest preserve! It is a peaceful and quiet location. We will go back again.
