Crystal Lake Recreational Swimming - Rock Falls, Illinois

Tracy Calder

These people were the rudest people I've ever met! We came out to visit some friends that were camping and we had nothing but issues. I paid 42 dollars to get into the lake and go cart for my children. The lifeguard was too lazy to get up and go to the blow ups and blamed on the sun so they got cut time on that. Then we get to to the go carts and the kid running that was so rude to my children! I will never be back and make sure everyone I know not to come here either. Very sad experience! The lady in the camping area at the front desk was very nice though and apologized about that. Plenty of other places to camp. Sad because we have been coming here for 7 years.

Want to relax and have fun at the beach with your children on a beautiful day? Not here. Here we close down due to beautiful weather. We plan on running our business straight into the ground. Expect to overpay for everything. Once you get inside, take a stroll on our sandy beaches that are littered with small rocks and trash. Love the nice cool lake water? Enjoy the water with biting fish, not to mention the water isn't see through crystal, it's more of a foggy green.
Let's just be very honest. This place is a joke and the owners are the punchline. They can't even setup a professional telephone directory or website page, so that their customers can get ahold of them to see if they are even open. They should just sell the place to someone who won't ruin it or shut it down because they don't deserve your money.

So many reasons for giving only one star. This was the best place to be when I was younger. But had gone downhill as of late. The hours and days open are always changing which makes it hard to plan. I understand closing for bad weather but they close alot when it's beautiful outside. And then blame it on weather. It's a lake so I know there will be some fish in it. But it's PACKED with bluegill and they swarm and BITE. My kids still love it so much daughter thought it would be fun to work there. She was never put on the schedule but only called in when no one else would work. Well she worked 3 or 4 days. He held her pay over a month. Then...paid her $20 for the whole time she worked. Definitely not a place that does fair business

Love this place. Although as a grandmother with small grandchildren. It would be nice if it would stay open longer than when school starts. Also, as an adult it would be nice to relax without as many children. I never understood why closed when children go to school. Not all are school age. Now you even have camping. I'm sure they are not agreeable with the closing early either.

Knowledge applied is wisdom

My son had so much fun he didn't get to go in go-kart & he was so busy he only came out of the water once!

He told me he loved it here & he really wanted to come back again

Fun place for kids and adults. On the outside edge of Rock Falls. When the pool is open they have lifeguards on duty. They have lots of things to climb on in the pool. Very kid friendly. They also have a snack bar. You can bring in your own food or coolers.

We go there all the time back in 1962 was the first time our mom took us their, I think they charged you by the car not the people you had in it. It was alot of fun back then, we would go to Nelson lake but our mom wouldn't allow us to swim in it too deep she said, drowning there alot

the water here is gross, fish bite constantly, overly expensive. unfriendly and unwelcoming staff on top of all that. this is not somewhere i’d recommend going unless you want to pay a fortune
