Beautiful campgrounds, our site, #129 was a super level, nice spacious site. The gate attendant was very friendly and all of the rangers waved and said hello as they drove by. Will most definitely come again

Felt a bit unwelcoming from about 3 park rangers here at Rend Lake. Gave me a hard time about check-in when I already prepaid online via credit card. Park Ranger Madison was a bit unprofessional and her manager Patrick never returned my phone call or got back to me about complaints I had concerning check-in and how I was treated. I did check-in properly at other Rend Lake campgrounds prior to this reservation when told to, however, was a bit unwelcoming for a short stay campground. Check-in at Rend Lake was a bit hostile when we already prepaid via credit card was a bit unwelcoming attitude. They expect people like me to know how to check-in when we never camped at Rend Lake before 2024 (during pandemic was often online at many recreation.gov campgrounds) and staff seemed to be a bit crabby and have bad attitudes in general at Rend Lake. I also have a child and definitely didnt have a child friendly attitude. The few park rangers I came across seemed to think they knew me and discussed how I have stayed here before 2024 but I never remember doing so. was a bit strange to be treated so weird and unfriendly by park rangers who seemed to think they knew me when I don't know any of them.

Great place to camp. Trails and wineries not to far away. Lots of fishing opportunities. Clean showers and restrooms.

Driving instruction through camp area were very clear and accurate. Asphalt pads, our lot was level side to side. All sites in our area appear large enough to accommodate tent camping, which is great for when some of our family camp with us. The lake is only a short walk away with plenty of area to launch a kayak/canoe or maybe toss a line. There is also a very nice bike/walk path through the area. My only negative comment is about the picnic table. It is time for the concrete tables to go, very uncomfortable and they are where they are. Over all a great place to set up camp.
