Are there camping spots available on site?  Yes, grass sites, for a cost of $10 per night ($5 for instructors). There is electricity and some water hook-ups available. Please reserve your site with Sandie Roosa (outdoor111@verizon.net ).  If the on-site camping is full, Sandie will assist in finding camping for the nearest campsite about a mile away.

** UPDATE **
There are officially no more spaces on-site for campers. We might be able to squeeze in a tent or two but that is it.
Alternate site:
Hi-Tide Recreation at 4611 E. 22nd Rd Leland, IL   815-495-9032


Is there a motel near by? Yes, there is a Super 8 Motel in Yorkville (630-553-1634) about 10 miles from the GOW. Amerihost Inn (815) 895-4979 (about 22 miles) in Sycamore Illinois.

It is suggested that you bring a heavy duty extension cord if you need electricity at your site. In some cases, campers will be a long distance from the electrical source. Light weight cords would be suitable only if you just need a lamp in your tent.
