I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
We all know that Illinois has some freezing cold winters, so when the warmer months roll around, we want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. For many, that means heading out to one of the many lakes for swimming, boating, and fishing and maybe do some camping as well. At Illinois’ Rock Cut State Park, there are plenty of campsites that are right on the lake. If you didn’t know about the awesome camping here before, now you do.
Camping at Rock Cut State Park is available year-round. However, only electricity is available at each site from November through April; there is no dump station or water available during that time. For more information on Rock Cut State Park visit the webpage. To book your camping spot, head to the ExploreMoreIL website.
