OUR STORY
A family river resort, three generations in the making.
Sugar Shores sits in the quiet of north-central Illinois, tucked along the banks of the Sugar River. It's a gated, family-owned resort built for the kind of summer you remember — kids biking between three playgrounds, neighbors trading chairs around the fire, and the river just steps from your site.
Spacious wooded sites, spotless restrooms and showers, a clubhouse with pool table, arcade games and movie rooms for rainy days, plus a camp store. Quiet hours run 10 PM to 8 AM, so mornings start with birdsong and coffee on the river.
