the weather was great very little wind the water was great also. We had 4 great grandchildren camping with us, this was there first time. Met some new friends and the campsite was clean when we arrived and when we left. The only thing that was not good is the camp site wasn't very level. Had to put the tongue on the ground to get close. Bath houses were in great shape. The campground was quiet for the most part. Looking forward to our next outing

Shower houses and all bathrooms were clean and park was looking real good. Big shower house although did not have hot water but the other one did and we liked it even more. Going back in one week. Wilson lake is beautiful!

We love staying in Minooka park at Wilson park. Though it saddens e that people are able to rent spots for an extended time just to set their camper, and then come up to stay at their convenience. This keeps other from enjoying the lake, when those that rented choose not to come camping. I know theres no easy answer, but something needs done.
@GibandL5B7C938 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #B5
The sites are clean and spaced-out well. Our site, B05, was a nice pull-through, with a great view of (and access to) the lake.
@ClarkRD8C5F6A0 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #E1
Fortunate to get one of the walk-up sites on a busy Memorial Day weekend. Sites are good size, electric, and a group shower house. Nice walking/biking trails: Prairie Fire and Hell's Creek. Water was nice for swimming.

Beaware, the mosquitoes love the shade and shelter of site C08, we ended up changing to a less sheltered site.

We stayed for about a week in mid-August 2024 and very much enjoyed our visit to Minooka Park. Site E16 is right in the water and gives you plenty of scenic views and unfettered access to fishing from the shoreline. There no trees in the E-Loop and therefore no escape from the direct sun. In mid-August, it was very hot in and around our campsite. Site E16 is a back-in site with 20/30/50 amp electric hookups and a gravel pad which has a gentle slope toward the back (lakeside) of the pad. We were able to easily level our 25-foot Motorhome, but the slope is significantly more pronounced toward the front of the pad, and a longer rig might have a difficult time getting level. Overall, the park is very clean and well maintained with dumpsters dispersed throughout for easy disposal of trash. Both the flush and the vault restrooms were very clean and well stocked throughout our visit. For those who do a lot of camping, you know every campground has its own culture, and Minooka Parks culture is heavily directed toward family water sports. During the weekdays we were one of maybe 5 campers in the entire park, but Friday through Sunday every campsite was occupied, and almost all of the weekend campers had one or more watercraft with them. Large pontoon party boats, speed boats, bass boats and jet skis. All were present during our visit, and all disappeared from the campground during the day only to reappear a short while later out on the huge lake. Even when the campground was at capacity over the weekend, we found the campers to be well behaved and respectful of their neighbors. And by sundown on Sunday the campground was empty again and we had the entire E-Loop to ourselves. We would stay here again. HI CASSIDY!

Great park. Plenty of space between sites.
@JimenaBC5963F1 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #B4
Beautiful area. Quiet, peaceful and not overcrowded.
@JanetF1272231 · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #F9
Well, put it this way.. It was definitely a memorable yearly camping trip with the grandkids. We now refer to it as the Griswald Camping Trip. LOL. F09 campsite electricity faulted causing burn out of the camper air conditioner, refrigerator, microwave etc. Cut our trip short 4 days. That being said, the park was very prompt and attentive to the situation, moving us to a new site However the camper damage was already done.
@DeborahC371835 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #C9
This is my second stay at Minooka Park. What a glorious campground. Sites are spacious, views are incredible. Everything is so clean. I love this park and will be back. Thanks to the staff for making our visits fantastic.
@christopherh24 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #A8
We arrived on a Sunday the space next to us was set up with a camper we had to move on Thursday and move to and open spot the only open spot higher on the hill. The great spot next to us which was A09 never had anyone show up for 7 days that we know of spot a10 that was booked for the entire weekend never had a single person show up. This system is flawed these campsites have staff overseeing the site why would they allow people to rent spaces to either park a camper with no campers or in the other case no even a tent. We are relatively new to camping with this reserve system. 20 years ago we camped every weekend most of the summer first come first served. And you could only stay in one site for just a few days . We had an issue trying to move spots online and it resulted in us renting 2 spots for the same days. 30 minutes on the phone and three days later I was permitted to get my 10 dollars back for cancellation. Give the rangers and the park attendants more power to govern whats going on with these desired sites. The lake is down quite a bit cant dock a boat for the sticks and rocks on the beach. And fishing there cost me about 10 rigs broken to snags in the water. The weather was nice is why we had much of a good experience for the most part.
@AndrewW8618299 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #D9
Whole Park lost power, could not reach anybody to figure out what happened or when power would be restored of course it was 5:00pm. 30 minutes later power came back on. Maybe they need to post emergency contact numbers other than 911 in case of situations like this. Other than that, it's always a great time. Remember, When the trailers a rocking don't come a knocking. Cheers!

A windy place, but love the park. Best through the weekdays and let the crazies have the weekeneds.
@JoyG6895446 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #E16
The good is that this lake is beautiful. The sunrise and sunset were lovely, and it was fun watching a storm blow through. The bad was pretty much everything else. The showers, which were at the beginning of the loop (still a good walk away), were creepy concrete stalls. Most were missing their doors and none had curtains. The water never got hot but at least it wasn't cold. The vault toilet near our site smelled especially ripe, perhaps due to someone deciding that a lid was unnecessary? It was bad. But the absolute worst thing was the bugs. I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't get in or out of our camper without letting in millions of gnats, mosquitos, flies and even a few grasshoppers and beetles. The gnats are so tiny they fit through window screens and it just made the entire nights sleep kind of awful. They got stuck in my freshly washed hair and except for when the wind blew through from the storm, they were just completely inescapable. I know bugs are part of nature, but this felt like an infestation and if I had known just how bad they would be, I wouldn't have stayed.

We went for a few days of camping just to get away. The site we had was a pretty good site with some shade. Had a good time. The only problem we had was getting our senior pass to work for the discount. One of the Corp of Engineer workers was able to get it to work and we did get reimbursed. This is the first time we had trouble with the senior pass.
@KennethB453248 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #C26
We were just stoping over for the night. Our expectations were low.
@DeborahK860315 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #A4
Spacious sites, utilities are well laid out. Just spent an overnight here but would like to come back.
@CarlaH7463047 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #F14
The park was clean. Our campsites were clean. The staff that works there are so nice. It was nice and peaceful. The showers were amazing and clean bathrooms also. I will be back next year. Thank you

Good place to stay
@JoS8736500 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #F15
First time there, was really impressed with area.
@KristenL701F70 · Camped on May 29, 2024 at Campsite #A8
Arrived in the dark and left before the sun was up so never got to really see this place. Bathroom kind of far away if you are tent camping but also could have probably done a better job checking this on the map. The site was spacious, was perfect for what I needed it for.
@ThomasZ0BC7346 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #C7
nice place
@RachellNCDF1CB · Camped on Sep 13, 2023 at Campsite #A4
2nd time camping here. Absolutely love it here and we are going to return again. Love the peacefulness and beauty!
@CharlesA359300 · Camped on Sep 11, 2023 at Campsite #C10
More water hydrants, if not at every site, would be a very good thing.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
