Vaiden Campground

This campground is a was a KOA in a former life. The new owner, Whitney (very nice young lady), has taken down all the KOA structures, is utilizing the existing pads, has built some new facilities, and is breathing life back into this small campground.

The campground is easy to access off of I-55. Pads are all gravel. There are a few pull throughs, but the majority are back-in sites. The surrounding grounds are grass. They had had heavy rains before we arrived. Due to the rain coupled with some digging work done around our sewer connection hooking up our utilities was a muddy mess. But don't let that deter you...it will dry out.

90% of the campsites are occupied by long term residents. Fortunately, nothing was junky looking and everyone was quiet and respectful. Unfortunately, I-55 adjacent to the campground is not quiet. The road noise is very obvious.

When checking in, Whitney will either meet you there to take apyment (credit card, cash, check) or there is a self pay station at the small office.

The campground has a swing set, a beautiful covered porch for large gatherings, and a new laundry facility. I didn't not get the door code to the bathrooms, so I could not check them out. The WiFi provided a respectable 5 Mbps down. You can pick up 18 OTA TV channels, including NBC and ABC. Verizon and ATT both worked well.

If you need to spend a night somewhere, there is no reason to not stop here. Whitney will take care of you. As work continues on the campground, it will only get better.
