Lake Le Aqua Na State Park, IL

Haven't been to Lake Le Aqua Na SP in a few years. Now have a 34' 5er. Anyone able to recommend a good site to reserve there? Going to go for Memorial Day weekend. Thanks,
Ron
  • I don't think most IL SPs have been closed, just a few minor ones that are less-visited. (So far, anyway - but Illinois politics and failure to manage the budget are a subject for another day.) Good idea to call; they should be able to tell you about sites. I know that when we had a 34-foot TT, a quick drive through Lake Le-Aqua-Na didn't show much choice of sites for us. Not sure, but perhaps the IL SP reservation website may show campsite lengths, etc. I remember that at least some of them had quite a slope to them.

    Another possibility not terribly far away might be Mississippi Palisades. Probably a little more in the site size you need there.

    Good luck!
  • Joe, I don't have any recommendations for sites, but from what I've heard, give them a call to make sure they are open. I've heard a number of Illinois state parks have been closed due to non payment of utility bills. The state has not passed a budget to allow bills to be paid. As an ex-Illinoisan it makes me sick; all politics.
