Location

Shabbona Park is in La Salle Co. in North central Illinois about 13 miles north of Ottawa, 65 miles south of Rockford, and 78 miles west of Chicago. If you want to camp there for the weekend there's space for tents and RV's but no hook ups. There are three shelters, restrooms with cold water, a playground, and fishing ponds.

The location is shown on the map below at the green arrow, north of Route 80 and east of Route 39.
Note: This park is NOT the Shabbona Lake State Park which is in DeKalb County.
