POPE COUNTY, Ill. (KFVS) - A campground closed for nearly a decade in Pope County, Illinois will reopen to the public in 2021.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources announced the Rauchfuss Hill State Recreation Area will reopen for camping in spring of 2021.
Approximately 15 tent sites and 15 camper sites are expected to be available to campers, with future plans to expand the area for additional sites in the following months.
The campground was closed in 2013 due to lack of funding and a staffing shortage.
