About
Pere Marquette State Park's own campground's 2 Rent-A-Camp cabins are a real, furnished cabin built by Illinois DNR: one full-size bed, two sets of bunk beds, an electric heater, and a ceiling fan (some locations also have a drop-leaf table and chairs), sleeping up to 6. Electricity is included, but there's no running water, kitchen, or private bathroom inside - showers are at the campground's bathhouse. Bring your own bedding and personal items. Pets are not allowed at cabin sites. This is a separate, more rustic product from Pere Marquette Lodge's own Cabin Rooms elsewhere in the park - see that record for the lodge-style option.
Fees
$45/night ($55 on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day weekends), per Illinois DNR's statewide camping fee schedule: a $25 cabin fee plus this Class A site's own camping and utility fees. Illinois seniors 62+ and residents with a disability card receive a discount; a $5 reservation fee applies.
No cabin-specific season is published; Illinois DNR's general note for most reservable sites is that they're bookable roughly May 1 through October 31, with some available year-round - call the park to confirm this cabin's own season before planning a winter trip.
