State Park Concessions

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources invites you to visit one of our 262 areas where you may enjoy the facilities and services provided by the IDNR or by one of approximately 70 concessions that are operated by a concessionaire through an agreement with the IDNR.

You will find that concessions from park to park will differ in the type of equipment or services provided and their hours of operation. For this reason, we suggest you do inquire before visiting a park, if you plan to utilize concession services.

Many concessions operate primarily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Please take a look at the Illinois State Park Magazine or order a free hardcopy here.
