Campground Details and Reservations
Mendota Hills Campground is a family owned campground with over 130 Acres of rolling hils, open field, oak forest and four small lakes. We have worked with the campground to reserve sites 333-341 for the 2st Annual Vintage Trailer Rally scheduled around the weekend of the Amboy Depot Days Car Show. The campground has reduced participant pricing by 40% and supports the use of shared campsites - how great is that!. All camp sites have electric and water and the cost is only $21 per night. The campground has shower and flushing toilet facilities and a campstore with firewood.
For Friday and Saturday night - it is only $42 - the cost per trailer for 2 nights is only $21 - (and there is no rally fee). This is a small rally - if we share sites - we can get 18 trailers on the 9 sites reserved for our rally ---- if we need more sites we may be able to get more - but they may not be in the same section as the original rally trailer sites...... so reserve early!
To book your site call Mendota Hills Campground at 815-849-5930 and tell them you are with the vintage trailer group and let them know if you want to share a site or go solo. Then shoot me an email (bjfrantz@comcast.net) and let me know your site number (if you know who you want to share your site with - let me know that too - so I can make sure the campground puts you together).
It is that easy ----- make your reservations early --- I have a feeling this fun little rally will fill up fast.
