“Perfect overnight stop!!”

I always stay here when traveling south for the winter or returning home in the spring. The owners are lovely, the gift shop is fun, and the grounds are pleasant. Easy in, easy out, with great hookups that work no matter the season. I look forward to my stays here!

This campground is just off route 70. The pull throughs are easy to get in and out of. Plenty of grass to walk the dog, pond for fishing (didn't fish). Get some road noise but that is to be expected. Heard nothing when inside the RV. Water, sewer and electric (50 amps). Didn't use any of the facilities. Great for an overnight stop.

A very well kept campground near the highway. Good for one night stop. They have level pull thru sites set aside for overnight guests. Nice walking area around a central pond, fishing is okay, and a pool is available. All in all a good stop

We stayed overnight driving from CO to Boston. We made a reservation the same day. The owner Barb was friendly and accommodating. The campground has many large trees for shade, a nice pond with a trail around for walking my dog after all day driving. Clean bathroom with hot showers. There is rt 70 and a train track near by but it was hardly noticeable at night. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this charming park for one night. We called same day and they were able to get us in a pull through but with only 30amps and water. We made it work, not a big deal. The owner, who checked us in, was very friendly and explained clearly everything we needed to know. Our site was fairly level and had green space with a fire pit and picnic table. After we set up and because of the heat and humidity we went to the pool. It was a nice place to cool off for an hour. (It would have been nice to have a pool net so we could have cleared the dead bugs and some debris out of the water, but otherwise no complaints.) next to the pool is a covered patio which you could use for a large gathering. This place was very quiet! We had a peaceful night sleep! There is no store close by so have what you need in your trailer or expect to drive about 30 mins. to Effingham (we were coming from the west going east).
We have a 36 ft. Fifth wheel.

We stopped here overnight on our way to Indiana. It was very convenient, right off highway 70. The campground was clean and the owners very friendly. Our site was gravel and level. We swam in the pool, which was very nice, but did not use any other facilities. We would stop again overnight.

We usually camp in the charming red barn rendezvous in Effingham, but it closed several years ago. We missed it like an old friend on the road. But, our luck, we found Okaw Valley Kampground, at exit 68 off I 70 east of st louis. What a gem! Beautiful grounds, level spots, great pool, 5 acre catch a d release pond, shaded lots, smooth gravel roads, spotless bathroom/showers, picnic table and fire ring at each site, most sites with a Lakeview. If you have extra people traveling with you, they have to cute little cabins they could rent, overlooking the lake. Peddle boats for rent cheap. We are so happy we stopped here.
Barb and Gary are sole owners and operators, and with years of hard work, have resurrected this place to be a small oasis. It's like camping on a manicured park.
Not much around re:restaurants, shopping, etc - what there is is in Effinghan (15 miles e) or bluff city (5 miles w).
Highly recommend!
