Yeah we talked about that we could bash a bit, but also do some comps such as pulls, and run through some gates. Just more for the challenge of it than necessarily keeping score.

Yup.
There is an Illinois State park in Marseilles, but I'm sure you can't have alcohol there. ALso there is starved rock, but might be hard to get some spots, and it has no alcohol either.
Four Star Campground - Marseilles, IL
Troll Hollow | Home
Those are two of the nearby campground, but look much more family oriented.
There is also in town a Glenwood RV resort, but don't see a website or anything about it.
Maybe we should just pick a different spot to camp that's close and is more like real camping. Illini state park is close. I read their rules and regs and there is no mention of alcohol at all so we should be fine. There are plenty of real camp spots spots, we could get multiple spots together. Vehicle limit is 2 per camp site. 4 people per campsite max. Probably no more than 2 tents per site. I can reserve three sites with sequential numbers and assume they're together, or at least close. Do we need three? Or two? Or what?

How many tents are we, 5?
I'll call these 2 places today and ask if we can get a space for 5 (2 or 3 man) tents together and if they allow alcohol and dogs.
If yes, I say we book it.
If no, let's reserve the Cliffs space.

That'll work too. "thumbsup"

Just need to do a little more digging.
Edit: None allowed in camping areas. Ugh.

We could probably keep the beer on the DL but didn't JetBoat say they don't allow rc's in the state parks either.. right?
I do know that Starved Rocks won't allow alcohol, but not sure if it applies to all state parks or not.
I do know that a few years ago I got sucked into going to the Indiana Dunes, and no alcohol there. State park up in Wisconsin does allow.
Probably should just call.

A tavern that allows camping... they have a pool table Zero! :mrgreen:

Looks like you guys are on the right track. "thumbsup"
Booze is a plus but, I don't drink a lot so, I wont have a problem sneaking a small quantity.
If were gonna end up camping in or near the parking lot, that might suck. Id rather stay in the truck at that point.
Id like a real camping spot where we could hear nature and not be around hundreds of people slamming car doors.
Some of the time were talking about potentially being bored could be spent traveling to where we want to be. Camp site to watch the 1:1's.. Then back to campsite for lunch, grab gear and go to r/c spot.. You know. That could fill a day or two.

What do you guys think about the tavern?
It looks like we could set up all the tents together... I bet they don't get the same crowds as the advertised campsites.

no answer yet... I'm guessing they don't open for at least a couple more hrs.
i'm most likely going to get a hotel in morris and head down friday. depends how well prepped i get myself before then...
seems like you guys would have alot easier of a time if you took the need for beer out of the equation... then again last time i had alcohol was at chris' place.
