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.

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!

We got in late but it was straight forward to get to to the cabin. It's rustic but was exactly what we needed for the night.
We were traveling with quite a few dogs for a dog show and we set up some tie outs and it worked great.
The bridge is a little tight (we had a utility trailer) but it was workable.
