We spent Memorial Day at Chain O’Lakes State Park on the Illinois and Wisconsin boarder near Antioch, Illinois.
Normally, we like our camping adventures more secluded and laid back, but I have to admit it was a great weekend.
Horseback riding, canoeing, hiking, fishing, and plenty of good camp cooking. They also offer archery, bike trails, and hunting.
I recommend this State Park for any Boy Scout Troop, including Webelos.

Do you recommend for 1st time campers? We are in the Milwaukee area. Technically, my husband grew up camping. My kids 3 & 6 have never been and my husband wants to start the tradition 🙂
I think Chain O’Lakes would be outstanding for first time campers. There are three levels of campsites (RV, electric, and primitive), and there is a general store if you need provisions. Highly recommended.
