About Us
The Kankakee South KOA offers a quiet get-away-from-it-all retreat that’s just an hour south of Chicago. Good restaurants, golf courses, canoe trips and Friday night stock car races are nearby. You’re just 10 minutes from the Chicago Bears’ training camp. At nearby Kankakee River State Park, saddle up at the stables, then take to the scenic wilderness paths. Hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing and picnicking are other favorite park pastimes.
