Welcome to Fish Lake Beach, a family-friendly RV park in Volo, IL, tucked into the heart of Lake County just 45 minutes north of Chicago.
We sit right on the shores of Fish Lake, and the water is at the center of everything we do here. Guests come for the beach, the boat rentals, the fishing, and the kind of slow, easy days that are hard to find anywhere else. Beyond the lake, we have resort-style amenities including a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, dog park, indoor pickleball court, basketball courts, a softball field, playgrounds, and a full calendar of activities at the Pavilion all season long.
We offer four ways to stay: full hookup RV sites, long term RV sites, cozy cabins, and lakefront tent sites. Our season runs from May 1st through October 15th, during some of the best weather the Chicago area has to offer. We're looking forward to welcoming you to the neighborhood!

Gorgeous hidden property. Recently purchased after years of neglect, it is now filled with wildflowers and native plants, with a creek running through the property.
An abandoned cabin gives this place real storybook vibes. One building has been restored to rustic perfection. Wander around and feel like you've stumbled onto the set of the 1993 film The Secret Garden.

Weekend Trip to Bear Bottom Ranch
Great site. The owners were very kind and had 3 beautiful off leash dogs. Endless firewood supplied. Two horses nearby that you could watch. Isolated campgrounds but close enough to the other sites for comfort.

The Tipi spot was absolutely wonderful. It was a big space with room for our dog to run off leash, surrounded by beautiful woods. There was a wonderful sunrise over a hill on the east side of the property. The porta potty is far enough that you don’t have to look at it from your site, but close enough that it’s a short walk. The potable water is a little further walk but again, not that bad. The tipi itself was incredible. Our kids slept in it but could easily fit our family of four. There was a picnic table and a nice big fire ring. There were campers at the other spots but we still felt private and secluded.

Had the best time at the Tipi site. Very peaceful and nice scenery with the horses. We felt very safe. Make sure you bring bug repellent. Also hope the toilet wasn't too far from the site but other than that, we loved it.
