Our team appreciated the amicable employees, spotless bathrooms, and well-maintained premises.

Our journey from Colorado to Boston involved an overnight halt. We managed to secure a booking on the same day. The proprietor, Barb, was very welcoming and helpful. The camping site was adorned with numerous big trees providing shade, and a beautiful pond encircled by a trail, which was perfect for dog walks after a day of driving. The facilities were clean, including a bathroom with warm showers. Although the site was close to route 70 and a railway track, we barely noticed any noise during the night. We wouldn't hesitate to choose this place for a stay in the future.

Had A Great Over Night Stay On Our Trip To Colorado. Customer Service Was Excellent, Campground Was Very Clean And Easy To Maneuver With Our Huge Rig.

Called the same morning for a reservation 👍. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Had no issues with supplying a site for our school bus conversion. Laundry facilities were old but clean.

Stopped here for 1 night on our way home! Very nice park with easy access, friendly staff, nice level spots and clean facilities. I would definitely come back.

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!

We stayed 2 nights in November 2020, and again 2 nights the end of April, 2021. the grounds are shaded and the sites level. All the hookups work. Maybe the pool is nice? it's been closed when we stopped. $40 is too much for this camp. Maybe when they finish overhauling it. The laundry is no longer functional. 3x3, with washers that don't spin well, and one drying not working. Don't plan on doing laundry here. Most of the grounds are well kept. It is a great spot for children to play. It's just far enough from the highway to be quiet, and though the train passes nearby, there's no grade crossings, so no horn blasting you awake all night.

Called the same morning for a reservation 👍. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Had no issues with supplying a site for our school bus conversion. Laundry facilities were old but clean.

We only stayed one night, but really enjoyed ourselves. Nice park under new management. Barb and her husband (can't remember his name) are doing a great job cleaning up this RV park after buying a few years ago. The previous owner was suffering from health issues and let it get run down. The sites are level and have a shade tree and grass. There are a variety to services depending on what you are looking for or need. We had a FHU pull-thru. No cable and the WiFi is a bit weak, but pretty good Verizon cell coverage. There's a nice pool (open Memorial Day to Labor Day) and a play ground. There's also on pond on-site that is stocked with bass and catfish - free to guest of the campground. Easy access to I-70.

As full timers returning north for the first time in a couple years we headed out a bit early. One of the few spots open and had full hook ups. Extremely nice owners, decent spots, not fancy but functional and not on top of each other. Laundry is in a basement and could use an update but it looks like the new owners are really working at updating and improving the park. Advantage: full hook up available early in the year and easy access to highway. Would recommend for anyone heading north early or during the summer I bet it is really nice.

Okaw Vally Kampground is conveniently located right off I-70. Check-in was easy and the woman that helped us was friendly. Navigating to our site from the office took some maneuvering because apparently the normal way to our site was being blocked by two big rigs who had their satellite dishes out in the road in order to get better signal. We stayed in the partial hookups section and our site was a long gravel pull-through. This was nice because we didn't have to un-hitch since we were only staying for one night. The noise from the interstate didn't bother us, though it was audible. Overall, Okaw is a fine choice for an overnight.
