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!

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.

Showers need a curtain in men’s room.

The only minor issue we had were ants (that were quite prolific) and a few ended up inside of our tents. Otherwise it was awesome! Absolutely beautiful! I cannot wait to go back!
