WillOaks Campground is nested in a small, beautiful rural setting, located at 14304 Kishwaukee Valley Road - which is less than one mile west of historic downtown Woodstock, Illinois, in the heart of McHenry County. This 14 acre park includes full hook-up sites (water, electric & septic), electric only sites and rustic boondocking sites, all are positioned around a clean one acre fishing and swimming pond. Restrooms are adjacent to the main office and include hot showers, running water and flush toilets. Porta-potties are located in strategic places around the campgrounds.

- A Favorite Coctail or Appetizer to share with the group on Friday night. The Friday night Trailer Tour Coctail Party, will be grouped in 4 to 5 Trailer "Party Pods" per social stop. You will know who your pod-mates are well in advance of the rally --- so you can coordinate on who is going to be responsible for what (the appetizer, the coctails or the festive decorations); or work it as a team effort. Awards will be given for the best Pod experience, food and drink.

-A Pass Around dish for the Saturday night Potluck.

-Any Musical instrument or Kareokee CD you may have that you think we would have fun with for some evening entertainment around the campfire.
