Illinois State Park Reservations: Open Sites & Cancellation Alerts
Illinois's state parks book through UseDirect at camp.exploremoreil.com, where Starved Rock and Giant City are sold. Recreation.gov covers only the Shawnee National Forest in the state, so the state parks carry most of Illinois's camping. When the one you want is full, set a free PermitSnag alert and we'll text or email you the moment a site opens up.
