Review Detail

Ok, I few updates: Check-in is at 2910 ZEIGMEIER ST, BLDG 13, this is the marina this is also where the dump station is, and non-potable water for tank clean-out is located. They can be reached at 847-688-5417, they will send you a confirmation email with the wrong phone number. We were going to arrive after they closed so we called and were given our site over the phone, not sure what would have happened had we not called, If you are there before they close (1630) come in the main gate which is Farragut until it T's you must turn right (oneway) on Sampson, make a left on Decatur Ave, then turn right onto Mahan rd, this will take you to the marina when you get to the bottom and the water bldg 13 is on the right. Ziegemeier is to the left and will take you past the boat storage and 20amp spots with water, then the beach house followed by the main park. Potable water can be found at the beach house at 2 spots, both are located on the right side of the building (viewing from the street) one is low to the ground on the building with a sign, and the other is 20 feet to the right of the building from a free-standing spigot (your hose). If you are coming in after-hours this is the best way to the campgrounds is: after the main gate take the first left turn lane onto Rodgers St, then take a right onto Bronson Ave, and take a left onto Sampson. Sampson will take you past the Student NEX (exchange) and gas station (easy fillup on the way out with plenty of room). Turn right onto Evans Ave at Paul Jones St turn left and an immediate right onto Ziegemeier camp is at the bottom of the hill on the left. All the roads are narrow and there are a lot of one-way, but minimal traffic, stay out of the housing areas they are one-way with cars parked on the side and are not Rv friendly, and do not get directions from the staff unless you want to visit the housing area. The RV camp is a great location, but if it rains half the sites are flooded ours had 4 inches of standing water, we found some boards and had to cross onto the grass, we had dogs it sucked, a better job grading would eliminate a lot of it. each site had a picnic table and fire ring, everywhere the grass was 6-8 inches tall, standing water in the ditch by the dog area (again grading). Men and women's bathrooms are open pits (no smell around the buildings but it was in the '70s), the beach house has a shower you can use, and so does Bldg 13. 13 also has a small store, laundry, and a rental area (I can't comment), Staff was friendly and regularly driving thru the area, you can't reserve a spot, stone and sand beaches at the RV park, a large sand beach at the beach house but no swimming. Staff said they were hoping the area would be paved by the end of the fiscal year, just hoping it's by someone who knows what they are doing.
