Camp Shabbona Woods

The Reserve Guide was very nice with a lot of information!! She brought fire wood !! And the trail at night was exciting… the owl was beautiful even though we couldn’t see him but to stand near and hear the souls was relaxing and very calming…

My family and I wanted to do something different rather than just going to the park and celebrating the 4th of July. So we decided to celebrate the entire 4th of July weekend camping at Camp Shabbona Woods!! We had the most awesome time and it was a wonderful camping experience for the young and old!! We rented out all the cabins and had a blast!! We watch movies on our big screen projector, ate smores by the camp fires. We went on hikes, and even went fishing across the way. It was an experience we'll never forget!! We will be camping at Camp Shabbona Woods again!!

I'll start by saying my three stars has nothing to do with the quality of the campsite. Camping was really nice and the staff was helpful. The park as a whole is pretty and bathrooms are well maintained. However, I paid $49 for a tent site arriving on my bicycle (as a non-county resident). Midwest parks need to do better to cater to tenters arriving under their own power... nearly $50 for a tent site with no vehicle is borderline ridiculous.

First time experiencing this campground loved it, super clean bathrooms, beautiful clean sites, awesome trails & the nature center was beautiful. Very friendly staff as well. Safe campground for families.

Very accomodating park. Nice places for tent set ups and more
