One of the nicest and we'll maintained RVparks and Resorts around the area. Great price for what you get.large Swimming pool,tennis court,Scatted playsets and a fishing pond,and smooth greens for some golfing. The owner is always on premise and is knowledgeable and hands-on. in addition for the youngins, there is a game room,off-road paths for exploration. The.outpost is centrally located next to the game room and pavillion that hosts Karaoke .This year live performances were started, but it's still a work in progress. It's safe and gated . At no time over the last year have I felt unsafe . As campgrounds go. I recommend Glenwood without hesitation for all ages .

Family and I had a great time! Our RV site and tent site were perfect and the staff was very helpful. There were some very fun activities for the kiddos with a great DJ night to close it out.Thank you so much for a great experience!

Warning this place is definitely not a resort or a rv park. It is a long term rv park. Run down dump. The even on one side of us had the neighbors from hell living there. The woman was yelling and cussing her dogs, her daughter and some guy that came for visits. Her dogs she kept tied up behind our camper. Pooping everywhere. Got loose a few times. Ended up jumping in my lap once. Music blasting from somewhere all night. Sites were horrible and in disrepair to say the least. The worst thing was the water. It stunk terribly. Undrinkable. Hated to even shower or wash dishes. The camper started smelling bad because of the water. We were afraid to even check out the bathhouse. The other ever on our other side was not being lived in. Windows busted out. Just a sad dump. The property and land could be beautiful if they would take care of the place.

This was a great location for where we needed-close to family. It was okay for short stay. It was an April visit and weather is always up for grabs in Illinois this time of year. We had tons of mud with the rain and our two dogs brought all of it in the trailer. Not their fault. The concrete bridge road, however, which we were told upon entrance in a terrible rain storm, was the only way in, needs a serious repair and safety rails. A section that looks like it received minor repair at some time caused the demise of a car. I hope they consider fixing properly. We did learn there was a better route in at a back fence which probably would have avoided any bridge issues.
