Whittington Woods Campground at Benton

We stayed here for 6 days. It’s a beautiful spot with lots of mature trees. The pool wasn’t open but we drove around trying «white pie» at various diners in the area. Even though there is a busy road out front and I-​57 is not far from the back, the road noise is minimal. There are also trains that go through but with all the trees around, they aren’t too loud. They have a nice dog park and our dog loved her walks in the morning. The grounds are impeccable! Clean and we’ll cared for. They do have chickens but they aren’t noisy at all! The chickens get to roam in the evening and we even got some delicious fresh eggs for breakfast. What a treat! The people who run the place are very nice and really helpful. They want your stay to be comfortable. Open wifi is available but it’s iffy. If you don’t have a satellite dish, don’t expect to watch much TV. We didn’t care because we just wanted some peace. We are going on a trip next month and hope to stay here on the way home. It truly is a lovely place to stay. We camped in a 37′ pull behind in lot 92.

Immaculate, flat, lots of amenities. Friendly staff. Very impressed.
They have chickens that they let wander around and my kids love it. I haven’t heard any roosters so it’s very peaceful. The campground is in a stand of mature trees so it’s very scenic.

Outstanding! The owners were very welcoming. The cleanliness was superb. Pool and playground were very nice, kids loved them. We stayed for 2 nights and will definitely be back!

We loved this park. Wished we could have stayed a few extra days. Very shaded and beautifully landscaped. Laundry facilities were clean and reasonably priced. Pool area excellent as well. We are pleased beyond measure. We would go out of our way on our next trip in this general area to stay here again!

Cleanliness: high marks
Grounds: well maintained
Playground: swings /​slide, very basic
Staff: friendly and helpful
Views: main road is visible but the site is nestled back amidst mature trees. Wood carved animal totems on site are a nice feature.
Other: they have a well designed and maintained chicken coop w 3 dozen or so Rhode Island Reds and a few other breeds. The chickens free range in the day. We raise chickens and can appreciate their set up

Nice installations but in the middle of nowhere!
We just stopped on our way back home (FL).
Just 5 sites are open and have all hook ups including water (pipes are heated to avoid freezing).
Arrived on 1÷5÷15 and temperature at night was 10oF!!!
It must be much nicer in summer.
There is a huge lake (Rend Lake) close by that looks like great for fishing — Gun Creek Recreation area so much more activities with hot weather.

Wonderful place. Good location if heading from St. Louis to Atlanta. Reserved a large pull thru up front for us for late checkin without a deposit just in case we made it that far. Very clean and well kept. Lots of shade trees. Courteous staff.

Very clean! Nice place. Under trees. Too bad it rained with thunder storms. Still a good place to stay.

8÷13÷2013 Excellent RV park. Impeccably clean park. Very helpful owners/​operators. Nice wide newly graveled access roads and RV spots. Wooded area with some satellite friendly spots. Free home grown tomatoes in mid August (a city boys dream). Very fast WIFI. The chickens lay colored eggs (sometimes for sale but mostly spoken for by locals). Will definitely come back.
