Comlara County Park

There are several potentially private corners in this HUGE county park, but we feel like we hit the jackpot. We arrived on a Sunday night when there were few campers; we each claimed a corner. Site 55 is obscured from most of the park and is on Jone's Pond. This would be a particularly nice spot if you had a kayak or canoe, but we enjoyed letting the dogs swim and birdwatching. It's also a popular area for fishing from the shore.
The campground roads were nice for a run or short bike ride, but we also ran/biked the farm roads in the area and encountered very few cars. There are tons of trails around the lake.
The park grounds are very nicely maintained. We can't comment on the swim and boating areas as they weren't really open for the season.
Access is easy from I-39 north of Bloomington-Normal. Be aware of their weekend reservation policies though - you can't reserve after Thursday. It's an odd policy and I suspect is due to the crowds they experience during the season. Cell service was great. The park has wifi, but it was not usable in our location.

We spent three days here and overall had a good experience. The sites are rather large so that’s quite nice. There are only electric sites available so unless you dump regularly you may find yourself using the facilities. The showers weren’t actually terrible (prepare yourself for scalding water), but the toilets are rather gross. There are an excessive amount of flies and I actually walked right back out. The bathrooms that are in the shower house itself were okay, but that can be quite a haul unless you’re parked near there.
The other thing that really detracts from this park is the beach price. It’s a nice swimming beach but camp guests are still charged to use it. $5 a day for adults and $2.50 for kids. That seemed excessive to us... I’d expect camp guests to be free, especially when it’s $27 for just an electric hook up.
Overall, we would def camp here again - mainly since it’s nearby for us and the sites are quite large. Some are near the water and seem particularly desirable!

Nice campground with lots of open grassy space. Most sites (all are gravel) are good sized with a picnic table and fire ring/grill but many are very sloped making leveling a challenge. Lots of mature trees, the park was clean, quiet and kept nicely mowed. Water hydrants for filling RV tanks are placed throughout the park, dump station is quite a ways from the camground but is easy in/out. Nice beach, picnic areas & swimming area. We came on a Sunday and weekdays were not busy, lots of open sites. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises over the lake.

The only reason for the 3 instead of a 4 star rating is the condition of the pit toilets and the bathroom/shower house in the campground. All need serious work and cleaning. Some of the worst we've seen, which is a shame because the rest of the park is quite nice.

Uploaded pictures in a previous post . This is a large County Park. Just off of the highway and easy to find. We stopped here on the way down to Nashville. Just for one night. The weather was beautiful. The park is very clean. The host came by to ask if we needed anything as we checked in after the entrance welcome station had closed. Lots of trails to walk with our dogs and a small boat ramp. The park was nearly empty so it was very peaceful. Stayed May 9, 2018. Electric only
