Kankakee South KOA Holiday

Rest, Relax, & Recharge - Quiet Camping in the Heart of the Midwest

Kankakee South KOA Holiday is the perfect place to get away and spend quality time with family and friends or relaxing by yourself, whether you want to drop in and stay a night or two or 10. Our unique location provides the perfect balance of peace and quiet, while still being close to the fun and adventure to be had on day trips to Chicago and along Historic Route 66. We are a quiet, peaceful campground that prides itself on delivering outstanding guest service. Our park is just one hour south of downtown Chicago - close enough for all the action, far away enough to relax in quiet comfort. We are your best first stop while you get your kicks on Route 66 - conveniently located away from tollways and traffic congestion and just minutes from the small towns lining the fabled route.

Our property offers a wide variety of options to perfectly cater to all your camping needs and preferences: 

• RV Camping Sites: Catering to RVers of all kinds, we offer a range of site options from simple 30amp water- and electric-only Pull-Thrus to big rig-friendly 50amp Deluxe Patio Pull-Thru and Paw Pen sites with full hookups. Camping with a friend? Check out our Buddy Site where you and a friend can camp awning-to-awning with a spacious yard to spread out and make memories around the shared fire pit. 
  
• Lodging: If you love the idea of camping but hate to leave all your creature comforts behind, our Deluxe and Camping Cabins are perfect for those who want a comfortable camping shelter. Our Camping Cabin gives you the best of both worlds. This rustic log cabin doesn't have a bathroom, but it does include a roof over your head and a cozy bed where you can rest after a day of adventure. The Deluxe Cabins are excellent for glamping, equipped with a full bath and kitchen. All accommodations are climate-controlled and include bed and bath linens, propane grills, fire pits, TVs, and refrigerators. 
  
• Tent Sites: The campground's tent sites are open and spacious, allowing campers to enjoy a more traditional camping experience in their own space. Fall asleep under the stars and truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of your life. We offer sites with and without water and electric hookups. To introduce your kids to the joys of camping, there's no better place than Kankakee South KOA Holiday. Tent camping is the more traditional way to escape into the great outdoors, and our campground has two excellent tent camping experiences to choose from. For those looking to rough it, our primitive Tent Sites are nestled among the towering trees with a pad of grass you can call your own during your time with us. We also offer water and electric Tent Sites, with hookups for those still needing a few of the conveniences of modern life. 
  
• All of our Cabins, RV, and Tent Sites are pet friendly! You can bring your beloved furry family members with you during your relaxing trip away from the city.

We invite you to share the experience of memories created around a campfire; memories that will endure when you recall the special times spent together as a family while camping. We would love to help make this happen for you. Come camp with us!
