Grand Chain Lodge & Campground 495 Lighthouse Lane, Illinois 62941,

"I had confirmed via phone that there were to be available campsites with showers. This was for overnight on August 16th. I arrived in good fashion to find no one available. The lodge has been closed for sometime as evidences by the dust and collection of various equipment in the hallway visible thru the windows. Seems to be in the midst of a renovation then stopped. The parking lot was cracked with grass and weeds growing thru. Called the number to ask about shower etc and no answer. Place was beautiful but very desolate with no sign of anyone around. I left to a hotel room and received a call back two hours later. They only asked if I was still there to which I advised I was not. They said ok then and Good bye. Overall - the website is no longer up and from past reviews, the place was last active in 2020 and seems to have not been re-opened."

"Beautiful views of the river. Nice folks. Clean rooms. We hope to return."

"Beautiful view of the river. Nice quiet place to stay overnight in a cabin and watch the boats go by."

"Lodge was closed but had a fun time fishing off the bank below the lodge. Grandson caught 2 large carp and released them. Caught a few catfish and drum. All released back into the river. This is a good place to fish."

"Supposed to have reservations for 5-28th & 29th. None was noted yet there was rooms available. Paid $177.00 for 2 nights, first room TV did not have no channels that was clear. 2nd room we had about 4 channels to choose from. No Wifi or phones in room. After we unloaded our luggage we left, when we got back it was pitch black no lights on at all on the side of building we had to enter through and none of the lights on in hallway either!!! NO Hot Water to Take SHOWER, Mold Ring in Toilet Bowl and Urine Splatter Under Toilet Seat and around 50 Dead Bugs in Bathroom. Disgusting!!! Met Mr Campbell in parking lot while packing our car and showed him our room he refunded my husband $100 since we had decided to not stay another night. I would have been ashamed to charged anything for that room!!!! Plus Smelled Moldy Too!!!"
