Trader's And Grill Island Campground

Awesome place for any type of you could possibly think of having thanks Terry and Crystal you do a fantastic job

Stopped in for a drink on a road trip. Bar was empty when we came in. Had 2 call drinks in a tall glass did not ask for doubles nor were they poured. Total 12.50! Next stop, lunch and two rounds a piece. Total cost 30 dollars$! Wow, will never stop in again! Even for canoe rental. What a rip off!

Just helping some people who almost drown when a storm came through the area. The EMS team said we should go to Traders campground to retrieve their belongings. The rest of the group was farther up the river with the belongings so it took some time to get them (couple of hours). The canoe company who had rented boats followed the ems instructions and went to this landing. As I drive in the campground, I had a black SUV following very close. Next thing I know he speeds around me going about 30 mph when posted speeds are 5mph. I go to the ambulance to give near drowning people their stuff and this man comes from the black SUV screaming, get your f@@cking a off my property right now. Get out this is private property get your F@@king a outta here! We sat in stunned amazement that this was happening and the EMS did not say a word to stop him even though they new some drunk ladies had called him. He then proceeded to call me a b!txh and swore a little more at me and got in my face. (I am a woman btw) My friends were afraid he was going to hit me. The canoe company guy just kept saying we are leaving right now sir. This man was drunk. You could smell the booze on him. If he is the owner and he displays this behavior he won 't be in business long nor should he be! Avoid this at all cost. PS. It 's run down and dumpy too!

Love this place! We went camping and tubing in July and had a great time. The whole staff was super friendly and very helpful. We'll definitely be going back next year!

A group of 9 of us recently camped on their campground and canoed the river for the 4th of July weekend. The owner of the bar and the staff that took us up river with the canoes were extremely friendly and welcomed us. At the time there was a bunch of firewood, probably a half face cord already there and they didn't charge us for it. There wasn't a grill but the owner lent us a grate from the bar that we propped up on some logs to put over the fire. The costs involved was extremely cheap for the campground and canoe rental. We stopped into the bar a couple mornings for breakfast and **** Mary's all of which was excellent and very cheap compared to Chicago prices. Two breakfasts and a **** Mary totaled out to about $14! I'm used to paying more than twice as much for this. After our canoe trip the staff stopped by check on us to see if we needed anything and hung out for a while. Which in my experience with private campgrounds is pretty rare. It was definitely appreciated. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and look forward to coming back here in the future.
