IDNR offering buy-one-get-one
camping promotion good at any Illinois state park
[August 07, 2025]
SPRINGFIELD – State fairgoers
can get a deal on camping at any Illinois state park or historic
site with a campground through the end of the year in honor of the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources' 100th anniversary in 2025.
Visitors to
Conservation World at the Illinois State Fair can stop by the
Illinois State Parks: A Century of Fun tent to pick up a coupon good
for one free night of camping at any Illinois Department of Natural
Resources (IDNR) site with the purchase of at least one additional
night of camping. Only 100 coupons will be available each day during
the fair.
“What better way to celebrate IDNR’s centennial than by offering a
special deal on camping at one of the state’s many breathtaking
parks and historic sites,” said IDNR Director Natalie Phelps Finnie.
“Fall will be here soon, and I encourage everyone to experience
camping at one of our sites as the leaves change color and the
autumn nights cool down.”
During the Du Quoin State Fair, Aug. 22 through Sept. 1, fairgoers
can pick up a voucher at a special IDNR 100th anniversary
interactive exhibit in the Expo Building.
Campers can present the coupon as a form of payment at the IDNR
campground of their choosing when registering for a campsite.
Coupons cannot be accepted online or through IDNR’s
ExploreMoreIL.com
reservation system.
