We have a reservation for Walnut State park in Oakland il. for the end of April. We just went to reserveamerica.com to make another reservation for a later date and saw this on the site:

WALNUT POINT STATE PARK
Closure: Due to a staffing situation beyond our control, this park is temporarily suspending camping, shelter and group camp reservations. For further information, please contact the Site Superintendent at 217/826-2222.

If anyone has pull or concern for this place contact DNR. They are trying to keep it quite.

We have already contact a TV station and a few state reps etc and Newspaper about this.

 
Here in PA I have heard talk of closing state parks. Our local park, Little Pine, always seems busy. It would be a terrible shame to see budget problems shut them down. I'd gladly accept an increase in camping fees. They provide a lot for a little money.
 
I think something like this need to be posted  where it will get more traffic like general discussions and maybe  retitle it as "HELP Illinois is closing some of our state parks".  Regards Dick nvrver
