Set on 6.5 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, you can enjoy picturesque stretches of sand, dunes, marshes, forests and hiking trails before heading to the campground in the southern portion of Illinois Beach State Park to get some rest. With 244 sites, there's lots of room for tents, RVs, cars and trailers—and they all have access to electricity, restrooms and showers.
