About
Siloam Springs State Park is an Illinois DNR state park in the West Central region of Illinois. Camping site types: Class A (showers, electricity, vehicular access); Class B/S (showers, vehicular access, no electric); Class D (tent/primitive walk-in or backpack sites, no vehicular access); Equestrian camping. Rent-A-Camp equipment rental (a furnished large or extra-large tent, $8 or $12/stay plus the site's camping and utility fees) is offered at this park per IDNR's own Camp Classifications table. Pets ARE allowed (leashed, with water, never left unattended or in a parked vehicle) - IDNR's general statewide practice, confirmed via Starved Rock State Park's own IDNR FAQ. Reservable online through Illinois DNR's own Explore More Illinois system (camp.exploremoreil.com, redirects to the live recreation.exploremoreil.com/IllinoisWeb/ booking platform). Advance booking requires at least 3 days' notice; most sites are reservable May 1-October 31 (some year-round - confirm per park).
Fees
Class A: $20/night ($30 holiday weekends) - showers, electricity, vehicular access. Class B/S: $10/night - showers and vehicular access, no electric. Class D: $6/night - tent camping or primitive sites (walk-in or backpack), no vehicular access. Equestrian camping available (specific class/rate varies by site). Reservation fee $5/reservation (non-refundable) plus first night's camping fee; camping fees refunded if cancelled online 3+ days before arrival. Discounts (about half the listed camping fee, full utility fee still applies) for Illinois residents 62+ or disabled with a Class 2/2A card; Illinois disabled veterans and POWs camp free aside from the utility fee; no entrance fee to any Illinois state park (dnr.illinois.gov).
Illinois DNR says camping is generally available year-round, weather permitting, with a fall-winter camping period October 1 to April 30 and reduced fees when cold weather closes buildings and shuts off water; call the park ahead for available amenities. Reservations run April 2 to November 30 on ExploreMoreIL; 21 of the sites are listed as walk-in (first-come).
