Rend Lake Camping

Rend Lake has 12 reservable campgrounds, booked through Recreation.gov — including Spillway Group Area, Dale Miller Youth, Dam West Area (day-use), Gun Creek, North Marcum Day Use Area and North Sandusky Campground. It's one of the camping destinations we track in Illinois.

Campgrounds here are in high demand and can sell out within minutes of release, so cancellations are often the only way to get a site. Campsite Tonight monitors every Rend Lake campground around the clock and automatically adds an open site to your Recreation.gov cart the moment a cancellation appears.
