If you are looking for a quick day trip and live in northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin, Illinois Beach State Park makes for a relaxing day of hiking, sun, swimming, picnicking or wind/kite surfing! There are 2 entrances to the park: North and South. We visited the south end which is located off Wadsworth Road. There is no fee to visit the Park or Beach. There are several areas to park depending upon where you would like to be located. I recommend bringing a tent or umbrella, beach blanket and chairs. There is a Camp Store which has a snack bar but, why not BYO? Illinois Beach Resort is located inside the park and offers Dining at Nolan's. Check the website for dining hours, the restaurant is not always open. You can spend 1+ hours at the Park. Wear comfy shoes for the hiking paths and bring suntan lotion for the Beach. The only downside: the brick enclosed "port o potties", super stinky. Also, NO pets. The Beach was super clean (no litter or cigarette butts), Park Rangers were continuously patrolling and plenty of room on the Beach for everyone!

This park has a lot of potential. They have been making improvements in the water to improve the beach. It's a very long beach, so there is a lot of room for everyone. They have a large parking lot, so again tons of room. It's easily accessible via bicycle.

Stayed at the campground for a long weekend in June (Thurs - Mon). Shower houses were not cleaned at all while we were there and got very dirty. Stalls ran completely out of toilet paper. Completely unacceptable considering there are only two bathrooms/shower houses to service the entire campground. Neither were cleaned or restocked in 4 days despite having a full campground on Saturday and Sunday. The campsites themselves are nicely spread out and shaded. The beach area could also be nice if not for people just leaving their trash all over the place. There seem to be virtually no workers in this entire park to maintain or clean up. Dirty diapers left on the beach, Trash everywhere, etc. Such a shame. I can see the potential for this to be a really awesome park and campground if the parks department made a little bit of effort. Sadly, they seem to have left the whole place to just fall into ruin. There apparently used to be a really nice bike path that ran the length of the campground along the lake. But whole sections of it have disintegrated and been covered by sand. So you have to keep getting off your bike and walking it through these sections. Both ends of this path also have decaying ruins of beach shower, houses and restroom facilities that are now boarded up and covered in graffiti. We are from Ohio and drove seven hours to be here. The location is great. The lake is beautiful. The natural beauty of the area is great. The price is very affordable for a park that is right on Lake Michigan and only about an hour from Chicago. But sadly, I would never venture to this park again until they make some improvements to how it’s maintained. I suppose if the sites were full hook up, the shower houses wouldn’t matter so much. But these sites are electric only, and there’s no way to depend entirely on our camper’s shower/restroom forfor a four-day trip. I felt really bad for all the tent campers who had no other choice but to use those filthy facilities.
