D & W Lake RV Park

This is a very nice small RV park that is located near two highways but far enough to be quiet. Most of the sites are pull throughs with FHU and the first row looks over the beautiful fishing pond. The sites are very long, gravel with a large, wide grass area between. There are large shade trees but we were able to get satellite. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There are a few back-in W/E sites that are in the open. The far side of the pond has five very secluded sites with FHU's that were great. The park doesn't have any amenities for children. There is a small laundry with one washer and one dryer. The owner was very friendly and guided us to the site and got us parked. This is just the type park we enjoy. Our four night stay was very pleasant and peaceful. The park WiFi was good except for a short time in the evening when everyone was on.

My husband stayed here for 7 weeks in the fall while on business in the Champaign area. Instead of staying in the subpar hotels in the area, he decided to hook up our airstream and stay at this cozy little campground. Sites are large, campground owner was very friendly and helpful. My husband was gone for long hours at a time, and knew the campground manager was looking out. Very close to Champaign and very popular for U of I home games. I came and visited with our dogs and was very happy with the pretty walking trail around the lake. Its right of 57, so a very convenient pass through location, as well.

We've now stayed at D & W Lake on four separate occasions. Twice in November 2016 (camping when the overnight low was 28 degrees) and twice in July 2018. This is our "go to" place for an overnight stop when traveling to Southern IL. Location is perfect - right off of I-57. The camp hosts are the nicest people. This time around we met several folks long term folks, could not be nicer.

The campground has a small lake, half of the sites face the lake. Full hook-ups every time. We've stayed at sites #21 (on the lake), #20 (the last spot on the back row. Does not face any neighbors), #16 (on back row) and #14 (on back row).

Small dog park but a lot of space in an open field to walk the dogs.

A wonderful place for a night or two.

D&W Lake was a perfect overnight stop off I-57 with clean grounds and bathouse. The super friendly, third-generation owner was very patient with us when we arrived late and a little flustered from a 12 hour drive and even though it was 20 degrees and dark waited for us to fill our water tank and walked us to our site.

The off leash dog area was on the smaller side but super clean.

We will definitely be back in the future when passing through.

I think the other reviewers have covered most of the positives about this place. There's really nothing to complain about here. It does tend to be full most of the time based on our experience and what we've heard from others, but spaces are far enough apart that it never feels crowded.

The vast majority of campers here are big, new, expensive rigs, although there's not a snooty vibe in the least.

The showers are incredibly clean, although there are only two for each gender. There's really no private changing area other than the shower stall itself and there's nowhere to put your soap or other items but a tiny wooden shelf outside the shower. Also it's kinda dark in the shower stall. I know it's nitpicking, but that's my only complaint. I've definitely seen more serviceable shower areas, but certainly none much cleaner. It's not a bad effort for the limited showerhouse space they're working with. Showers were a big deal for us, as we had already partially winterized our coach while there.

Close to Champaign and the U of Illinois, shopping, malls, downtown stuff. The loop around the lake is perfect for a quick walk. The property is surrounded by picturesque farmland in just about every direction. Excellent cell signals and plenty of TV channels from the antenna here.

Only here one night on our way to southern Illinois. Originally booked site 10, but moved us into site 40 which was nice. Enjoyed the lake, and I imagine that this would be great if I had grandkids and wanted to introduce them to fishing.

I would echo the positive experiences of other reviewers: nice sites, all the amenities, etc. I would also like to mention how helpful Matt (“Matt with the hat!”) was to us. We are newbies to RVing and he helped us pull into our spot and even gave us a place to park while I worked on the day we checked out. He went above and beyond to help us fix an electrical issue on our rig. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a very convenient campground for those traveling along I-57. Highway noise is apparent but not overly intrusive with the doors and windows of our rig closed (it’s mid October so we are fine with this.) The rate is reasonable for a full service site. The sites are reasonably spacious for a private campground. We would not use this facility for more than an overnight stay as we generally prefer quieter settings.

Verizon cell data service was excellent! We did not try the campground WiFi.

I can't speak highly enough of Matt over at D&W. I stayed over on Thanksgiving night during a road trip in 2019 and after a LONG day on the road, he offered to bring out a family plate of food for me that night when we checked in. It was above and beyond after an exhausting day.

The site itself is well positioned near a major hwy but far enough away that you do not hear any road noise. You are also right on a beautiful lake.

Sites are level and offer a picnic table and fire pit.

Decent sized enclosed dog run on site to let the pups stretch their legs.

Easy access for small and big rigs.

My rig: 26 ft travel trailer with F150.

This was our maiden voyage in our brand new camper, we loved this trip. It was nice to be away from home and disconnect but still have access to a Walmart and other stores near by. Our daughter of course got sick on our 1st trip so the near by pharmacy and store was extremely helpful. Most sites we spacious pull thru. We also did get to fish bit on this trip and took a nice walk around the park. They do a good job about enforcing quiet time especially if you are there to just rest the nice. We will be back this year.
