 Reserve Your Campsite

RV, tent, equestrian and youth group campers are all accommodated in the various campgrounds. Few sites are secluded, with the majority open and spacious with adequate shade available on most.

A large number of electric sites with water are conveniently located throughout the campgrounds. While the RV campground is open year-round, the shower building with flush toilets and the trailer dump station are operational only from May 1 - November 1. To make reservations for the campground, go to ExploreMoreIL™.

The equestrian campground has a shelter, vault toilets and a hand pump for water. Access to the area is on county roads that border the park, not the main park entrance. Contact the park office prior to your equestrian outing as the campgrounds and trail may be closed due to wet conditions.

Camping at Lake Le-Aqua-Na is a very relaxed, family-oriented experience. The following regulations apply:

  1. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted at any time in the campgrounds.
  2. Access to the campground is prohibited after 10 p.m., except for previously registered campers.
  3. You must have a camping unit, establish camp and obtain a permit upon arrival. You may not buy additional permits in advance in an attempt to save a campsite for friends arriving later.
  4. While pets are very important to your camping experience, it is your responsibility to leash them at all times, pick up their waste and attend to them at all times. Many campers are not pet owners and their camping experience is greatly diminished if your pet is noisy.
