Sycamore Rv Resort

great place to just get away and go to the races tight spots but if your just parking that is great

I would totally agree with Jack B.‘s review from 8÷23÷15. I don’t know why Unilocal isn’t allowing it in their consideration. This is a high quality campground, and I enjoy the fact that you don’t have to worry about camping with ‘undesireables’ next door. The owners are not overly friendly, but will treat you right as long as you respect their rules.

My wife and I are full-​time RV’ers, no brick ‘n mortar home, and we are at the Sycamore RV Resort as I write. Thought these reviews needed another perspective. As every reviewer noted this is a beautiful park. Expansive green lawns, trees, flowers, and shrubbery all with a very professional landscaping touch. Two beautiful spring fed lakes offer fishing and small boating. The larger lake has a sand beach and roped buoy swimming area with someone in attendance.
Both lakes are ringed by walking paths and picnic tables. Not camp sites!
The owners and family live on site. This is their home they are welcoming you to when you arrive for a visit. There are rules called good manners. Everyone follows them, e.g. all dogs on leash, clean up after dogs, drive slowly, arrivals are expected to check in at office, and so on.
People follow the rules because the payoff is a clean, neat, well maintained rv park that is safe and secure and a pleasure to visit and stay for awhile.
The sites are long and level, utilities very convenient. The bathrooms are big and very well kept. The 10 dollar deposit is for the electronic pass card. So give the card back and get your 10 dollars. The laundry is very efficient and well maintained. Wi-​Fi is excellent.
The DeKalb/​Sycamore/​Northern Illinois University metro area is probably near 100,000 pop.
Between Aug and May there are 25,000 grad and under-​grad students at NIU. Without controls this comfortable, relaxing park could be a disaster.
My wife and I travel between the upper Midwest and Texas every year. We have had the misfortune to be at unruly parks, where the owners could care less about your comfort.
Believe me, then you don’t feel safe!
This park is quiet, and safe, and a comfortable stay because it is controlled with sensible rules you would ask at your house. We hope to make time to come back next year.

The owner (male) doesn’t seem like a very nice person. Anger issues! I wouldn’t feel safe visiting especially if you ticked him off by not following «his» rules.

Place is marked on the map as a bike route guy was a real jerk
I will let you in for free next time I have to charge you an entrance fee

Very clean and well kept place. Bathrooms are separate from the showers (which needs a $ 10 refundable cash deposit) and are air conditioned and very clean. If you stay here on a busy weekend, be prepared to visit with your neighbors as the spaces are very close to each other. Owners were polite and lead you to your spot and guide you in. We are newer to the camping experience and found them to be helpful, though they clearly like things done their way. Since they have such a well kept place, I respect that. 3 stars for super close spots.

Very Clean Park, Gravel pads. Rest Room were very clean. Laundry very expensive $ 2.75 for 27 minutes and not very large capacity $.25 for 4 minutes of dry time which adds up quickly, also $ 10.00 refundable fee for card to let you into laundry, or showers. Do not loose it. Propane is charges by container size even if a partial fill.
Tengo Internet is very slow. However our version data was good. Our AT&T signal was weak. No Cable and lots of trees if you need satellite mention it up front when you make reservations. Two small lakes catch and release only. They have a small beach. Both Beach and fishing can be used by locals with a small daily charge. Italian Dreams Pizza at entrance road is worth a try, as is the small Butcher/​Sandwich shop on opposite side. We found both to be good. We stayed 4 months while
working on our house. Shopping is convient, lots of stores in area. We would stay again if in the Chicago area.

Very nice and clean facility. Beautiful views and lake. We enjoyed everything but the staff /​owners (I guess) who seemed bothered to even talk or give directions. This is one of the ONLY rv parks in the area.

Very nice! Clean and quiet… fishing, beach and plenty of grounds to walk
