Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve Camping Pod

If not a Will County resident $40. Way too much for primitive sites, unless you have a larger group as I think the sites accommodate several tents. Maybe some sites should be for groups and some for… small groups idk. Would love to stay as an individual but not for $40!

The campground was awesome. It's easy to get to, freshly mown for the campsite, but you're still surrounded with the forest. It was beautiful to see the stars.

My favorite walking spot

Great little Will county forest preserve district campground. No electricity but there is drinking water and latrines on site. The wooded sites can each accommodate 6 tents and it's arranged so that most tents can have their own little space. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. There's a central area of mowed grass out in the open which is 2 more campsites that you can put multiple tents on. There are some short walking/equestrian trails and a nature center in the preserve. It's clean and maintained. And I was the one there camping on a Friday and Saturday night in June! The wooded sites are not drive-up so a wagon came in handy.

Nice and clean nature preserve. Well maintained hiking trails. Only issue is please bring off or something with promethazine in it if you're out walking. Ticks have started to emerge, although they aren't everywhere, it's better to plan so you don't bring any home with you.
