    Campsite
    Peg D.

    Loved this Koa. We were in a pond pull thru and it was perfect. Pretty level, full hookups including cable. And a nice view. Well equipped camp store--there's even a beauty shop in there and my neighbor says Karen gives a great hairCut. She'll cook for you too--we had the pulled chicken sandwiches and they were excellent. 2019 prices too. We'll be back.

    Sorry, but no way, never again. Nice people, but the nice stops there....the transient spots are literally 20 or 30 yards away from the freeway (see pics)....got NO sleep with semi trucks hitting their air brakes all night long....looks like some permanent residents there too, in some not so nice trailers....sites are not concrete and way not level.

    My husband and I needed a place to stay when my dad passed away in August of 2021. We moved from North Texas and stayed from the end of October through the 1St week of June. The staff of KOA are warm and friendly and caring. We enjoyed our stay. It's a quaint area close to eating, shopping, interstate. Nice walking trail, paddle boat rental, and you can order food from the kitchen and they will deliver it to your rig in a golf cart! The Barbque sandwiches are really good!! We highly recommend if you are looking for a place to stop on your trip! They will treat ya right!

    The fishing pond view

    Benton, Illinois KOA was a nice stop over for two nights heading to Columbia, Missouri on our journey to Yellowstone. We were located across from the main park in a special small section that was overlooking the catch and release fishing pond. We had the perfect site for viewing the peaceful pond. I had requested a really nice site to view the pond and they delivered on my request!! Thanks!! We were basically there with only two other campers the first night with no one on either side which was really nice. The second night more campers as the others left, but it was quiet and peaceful each day. We had a wonderful view from our motorhome window to sit inside, rest, and enjoy the pond. The outside was really hot throughout the day and night so most everyone chose to stay inside with our air conditioning. It was 90+ degrees with a heat index of 103. WOW!! The second night we took advantage of Karen's kitchen and ordered th BBQ rib dinner with a full slab of ribs and two sides for two. It was delicious!!! The BBQ sauce made the ribs so good...fall off the bone delicious. The baked beans were excellent as well and the potato salad. If you think as I do that you are a great BBQ rib griller and are hesitant...try their BBQ and you will be pleasantly surprised. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Our car battery was dead on our toad and thanks to the wonderful KOA staff they got us up and running. Thank you for a very pleasant stay at Benton KOA.

Thankfully we lucked out and we didn't get rained on but this place was still pretty busy. Depending on when you show up parking can be a bit Limited. The trails to the top is not too long either but the interaction is so long and breathtaking. I've never been to a park since I've been to Matheson State Park where you are able to climb on every little thing. The views here and the experience is unlike any other. It felt like I was back in the Smoky Mountains but with less tourists. They have public restrooms here as well though if there's a line it could take a while. Me and my wife spent a good few hours here and if you follow the trail it will take you right back to the parking lot. We also enjoyed that this place is also dog friendly too!

    Glad we went the route we did which is to the right as opposed to the left. This has the frequent…read morestairs/incline with is better for my knees than the sharp decline if we were to go the other way. I also liked that the multiple or compiled sandstones was the last we saw as opposed to the first, like a grand finale. And then the gradual decline on the way down to complete the circle. This is a very quick route where you can see the famous camel rock actually many of the rocks look like faces ;)
