    Sometimes, life is cruel…read more It certainly was for the family whose son drowned when I visited the Happy Acres Kampground this July. Fire trucks, ambulances, and searchlights scanned every inch of the property on Saturday evening until the authorities made their tragic discovery. The incident took place in the "private pond," which is (or was) open to guests for swimming, boating, and fishing each summer. The water appeared to be treated with a blue anti-algae solution, which made the water opaque and all but impossible to see through. Young children splashed around and slung mud at me with no supervising guardians in sight. I flinched and jumped as imperceptible fish bombarded me underwater, leaving red marks on my skin. The pool on site is a tad less disconcerting, complete with a sunny lounge chair deck and plenty of tolerably clean water for children and their families to enjoy. The nearby shower facilities are less ideal; the showerheads will activate only if you insert a quarter first. My traveling party did not bring any coins with us, and the front desk never warned us that we would need currency to clean off at night. I advise management to warn guests ahead of time that their tokens will be necessary, or else install a shower system worthy of the 21st century. Despite its flaws, it's hard not feel fortunate while taking in the Happy Acres' miles of wooded hiking trails, or enjoying a stroll past ornate trailers and RVs all decked out for the warm season. The atmosphere is joyful--even giddy enough to hold a "Christmas in July" festival complete with decorations, Santa hats, and a holiday movie screening. Needless to say, little kids will have plenty to do while visiting this property. The location of Happy Acres is conveniently close to the Richard Bong Recreational Area, and just a few minutes further from Kenosha. Chicagoans looking for a place to relax for the weekend--or longer, based on the many permanent-looking motorhome setups I observed--need only drive an hour to reach it. What's more, firewood and other camping supplies are sold in a gift shop for flighty travelers such as myself who forgot to pack a few essentials. The indoor bathroom facilities appear to be well maintained, but the portable toilets could do with some hand sanitizer and fly traps. Electrical and water hookups at each site make for a convenient camping space. While bug spray is useful, I never found the mosquito situation to be bothersome. Furthermore, I commend the management for their environmental stewardship in collecting recycling from every camper. This service is more than many businesses bother to offer. To their credit, the staff here did their best to ensure dignity and privacy for the family who lost their son. My deepest condolences are with them. As a swim-at-your-own-risk institution, no lifeguards are on duty anywhere. As one of only a handful of camp grounds in the county, the site is assumedly vital to the local economy. I don't believe the business is personally responsible for this tragedy, and hope Happy Acres survives to see another year.

    No problem with check in, the sites we had for our pop up was actually bigger than I have seen at…read moremost other private campgrounds. The porta potty near us was clean. The other bathroom started ok- but needed cleaning. Play ground was fun and we walked the path with disc golf which was nice! The main issue was the noise. The 10pm quiet time is not enforced or followed by others (many "permanent" sites). There was music and loud voices until well past 1am. I needed ear plugs for night 2. Which was surprising, after any brief encounter we had with security. The security was over the top and rude when asking us to move cars (we stopped out of way way to see the animals as we were leaving for the day and happily moved as requested- but it wasn't a nice friendly, Wisconsin request). And their "welcome" back to the property was not welcoming- a rude "5 miles per hour and I don't want to see any dust clouds".
