The campground at Shabbona Lake State Park will be closed starting November 1 to facilitate the replacement of vault toilets at the site. The closure is expected to last until April 30.
This project is part of an ongoing initiative by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources aimed at improving state parks across Illinois. Initially, work will commence in the day-use area before moving to the campground in November. The campground's closure is intended to ensure public safety while crews remove and replace the old units with new ones.
Online camping reservations for 2025 will be available beginning May 1. For more information regarding the closure, visitors can contact the park at 815-824-2106.
Shabbona Lake State Park spans 1,550 acres in DeKalb County off U.S. Route 30. The site features a 318.8-acre fishing lake, hiking trails, and a restaurant offering boat rentals and a bait and tackle facility.
