IL Beach State Park Winter Camping is a different experience. First, there are only about 10 other campers in the whole campground. Second, its all walk-up camping. We arrive after dark, find our campsite and then pay the next morning. There are payment envelopes at the ranger station and we always have 1-2 site specific envelopes from every campsite with us. 

Another nice thing about winter camping is the wildlife. For the most part, the local animals hold on to their territory because there are not enough people to scare them off. On this night, we had 2-3 deer hang out with us. The coyotes don't visit but they sing. Typically, the coyote concert begins at 9pm with new vocal sets every 90 minutes until dawn. Its pretty cool to wake up to in the middle of the night.
