Due to public demand, Minooka Park will now have 10 campsites that are non-reservable and available first come, first serve. Historically, Minooka Park has been 100 percent reservable since 1999. Reservations are allowed six months in advance and a majority of our sites were being reserved well in advance of the summer holiday weekends. By setting aside 10 electrical sites, we are now providing an equal opportunity campsite for families on a first come/first serve basis that do not have the means to plan a vacation six months in advance.
Ninety-two percent of electric sites still remain available for reservations.
These 10 sites, C 1-5 and E 1-5, will have electric hook-ups, and water will be available through community hydrants. As with all campsites, campers must occupy the site after renting it and continuous stays cannot exceed 14 days. We would also like to remind you that any campsite that is not reserved will also be treated as a first come, first serve campsite.
"First come, first serve" refers to the first camper to purchase the campsite, NOT the first to set up on it. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the Corps of Engineer's Wilson Lake project office at (785) 658-2551.
