About
Dixon Springs State Park has two Rent-A-Camp cabins, both walk-in only with no online reservations - arrange one directly with the park office. One is an ADA-accessible Group Cabin; the other has its own bathroom and kitchenette, a step up from the bare one-room cabins at Illinois's other Rent-A-Camp parks. Pets are not allowed at cabin sites.
Fees
$25 cabin fee plus this site's own camping and utility fees (per Illinois DNR's statewide fee schedule) - pay at the park office when you arrange your stay; no online reservation fee applies since this park's cabins aren't bookable online.
No cabin-specific season is published; call the park office directly to check availability and to arrange a stay, since these two cabins are walk-in only with no online booking.
