Take Pleasure in Illinois Camping
Illinois can be a real fun place for camping. You don't
have to go far to enjoy some of their great tourist attractions
either.
The Land of
Lincoln, Superman, and Raggedy Ann & Andy offers attraction rides on
a 15-story Ferris wheel. Or you can take in an IMAX film at
Chicago’s Navy Pier, a Wild West show, or stroll peacefully in a
Japanese Garden.
Why not join
Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery? That's just a few of the
fabulous things to do for today’s campers in this historic state.
Use the Go Camping America online campground directory, find a Park
to locate the ideal campgrounds and RV parks.
Illinois is also a land of diverse landscapes and terrain. To the
nature lover, it offers an abundance of wildlife and scenic beauty.
The Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources has a wonderful online guide
to Illinois state parks, each annotated with information on history,
natural features, recreational opportunities, and facilities.
For those of you who are new to camping, Illinois state parks
have a tent rental program called Rent-A-Camp, which provides an
inexpensive and convenient opportunity to camp in many of the state
parks. There are rustic cabins available too, if you prefer a
shelter above that of a tent.
Eight of Illinois' state parks have lodges, which offer
comfortable accommodations and fine dining to those who prefer to
spend a night in a park without camping.
One of the major attractions for the campers that frequently visit the place of Illinois yearly is the Shawnee National Forest
covering more than a hundred thousand acres.
