What an exceptional weekend this was. Keith, Devin (his daughter!), and the rest of the crew were…read moreaccommodating, kind, and efficient since the very beginning. They helped contracting for and planning around this event so easily. A group of us (friends/classmates) came for a get-away retreat from the city, and the entire time, we were in awe. Nothing can beat the space itself (vast, lots of room to hike, bonfire, yoga; we even had a track&field style relay in the backyard). The rooms were nice, spacious, and comfortable. There was a lot of sitting room/smaller living rooms, so we could all take time to be in smaller groups if we wanted to. The game rooms and movie theaters were wonderful and kept us occupied all weekend. The kitchen is marvelous, and we just kept cooking all weekend because we were so obsessed. We played trivia while drinking wine in the sitting room/family room with the fireplace. Above all, Keith and Devin are great hosts. They were onsite (in a different building, so it was enough distance to give us privacy but not too far and were always available if we had questions), responsive, and understanding. I contacted Keith some time in December of 2023 to learn more about the space, and while we had other options, the clear respect and compassion Keith exuded for me as a potential guest and the passion and excitement he had for the space really drew me in. He even offered a group tour before signing the contract. I trusted him entirely, and he was absolutely so generous and fair throughout the whole process. We're coming back in less than three months because our time there was simply magical. It's hard to admit, but part of me hopes it stays a hidden gem just for us to enjoy. Yet, deep down, I know that anyone who discovers this place will feel as blessed as we did. I truly wish for others to experience the joy and tranquility that we found there.

Had a great weekend with friends. It was the perfect setting for a winter weekend away. The lodge…read morewas ideal with lots of space as well as cozy gathering rooms for hanging out. Keith and Lisa were fantastic hosts. Easy drive from the burbs. The warm country setting was the right break from the winter grind. I would absolutly recommend for a gathering of friends or a wedding in any season. We roamed the property and were impressed by all the venue options that they had to offer.

Just camped here for the first time. This is a great place to camp, especially if you have kids…read more The lake was great. It's separated into 3 sections by buoys...one shallow end for small kids, a deeper end for bigger kids, and a fishing area. Both swimming areas had lake toys for the kids to climb on, including 2 trampolines with slides and bounce pillow, log roll, a giant iceberg, and some other things. There are smaller lake toys in the kiddie area. The lake had no algae or fish smell like other reviews noted, so they must have solved that problem. There is plenty of lounge chairs and picnic tables around the lake area for parents. The pool was nice too, but the kids liked the lake the best. They also had activities during the day: bingo, a glow stick dance party at night, and a scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt doubled as free campground cleanup for them because they had things like bottle caps, juice box straw wrappers, and cigarette butts on them! Please take the cigarette butts off that list!!! Nobody wants their kids picking those up!!! They had bean bag games, pedal cars, horse shoes, basketball and volleyball courts. The grounds were clean and well maintained. The sites are typical for a place like this...fairly close together but there were huge trees everywhere so we had shade and gave it a little more wooded feel (I hate camping in a big grass field). Cost: We paid $45 a night for water and electric (no sewer) which I think is reasonable because you're paying for all the facilities as well, not just the camping. They do nickle and dime you a bit...you gotta pay to use the pool, carts, and some activities. As long as you're OK just using the lake it's not too bad. Checkout time is non-negotiable. We wanted to stay an extra hour or 2 after checkout time so we had to pay for a whole extra night. Most places don't mind if you stay a little longer if the campground is emptied out. The kids really wanted a little extra time so I ended up paying for the extra night and we stayed until dusk so I could get my money's worth. One last note...the owner has a lot of rules and he enforces them. They are mostly to keep the kids safe and keep the camp family friendly. He was out multiple times during the day making sure the kids in the lake had their life jackets on and had parents watching them. If you're planning on partying loudly until 2 am, don't bother coming. He will kick you out if he has to. This has led to some bad reviews from scorned folks, but it's nice to see a campground enforce their rules for a change. Since I was there to enjoy family time it worked out well for us.

We came here for a day visit with our kids, but we left incredibly disappointed by how we were…read moretreated. When we arrived, the front desk was completely empty, and no one was there to assist or check us in.Because no one was working the desk, we headed into the campground to set up our things, fully intending to walk right back up and purchase our activity wristbands. My kids were excited and jumped into the water while we were settling in.Before we could even go back to pay, a man on a four-wheeler (who seemed to be the manager or owner) approached us. Instead of asking us politely if we had checked in, he immediately started yelling at my children. He automatically assumed we were trying to sneak in without paying.Even after we calmly explained the empty front desk and our plan to buy bracelets, he refused to listen and kicked our family out. The lack of staff at the entrance is their mistake, but taking it out on paying guests and yelling at children is completely unacceptable. We will not be coming back."

We stayed for a weekend! This is a family owned campground that's unpretentious, and on such a…read morepeaceful plot of land in Illinois. They have trails, golf carts, and a great playground. With a variety of campsites, improving amenities and activities, it's a great place to camp for a summer or for a weekend! We met many long-term campers there, and that speaks a lot to how so many can feel like Condit's is another little home away from home. Highly recommend hooking up here for a weekend or a season! Also... don't forget the bug spray. It's camping, after all. I would love to come back in autumn after talking with other campers. It sounds like it's beautiful and you can see more of the landscape and ravines around the property.

We really enjoyed our stay here! We thought we were just staying for one night but with the great…read moreprices (we used Passport America), super chill atmosphere and GREAT swimming pond we ended up staying three nights. They had Karaoke on Friday night and a band on Saturday in a barn on the property. We didn't go to either but since the barn is fairly enclosed it didn't bother us. This place is pretty quiet durning the day, like I said it's a super relaxed vibe, maybe because when we were there lots of spots were open. Management is great, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There are lots of seasonal's and plenty of nightly camping spots too. The RV spots are basically in a grassy field with some gravel, not perfectly level but not so bad that we had to pull out leveling blocks. Big nice trees everywhere. They have a nice playground and a great pond! It seems that they go to the effort to dump fresh sand on one side of the pond so that it's kind of like a beach and it makes to bottom of the pond sandy instead of muddy. There is also a big fountain in the pond that helps circulate the water and I suspect filter some of it. They don't have wifi but we didn't mind. We have been to so many RV parks that "offer" wifi but then you get there and it's so crapy that you feel a little cheated. I'd much rather know what I'm in for up front. AND we had great cell service (att) so we could do anything we wanted to. Happy camping!!
