Welcome to
WOODHAVEN LAKES
Woodhaven Lakes is a private, gated recreational property owner resort located in the heart of North Central Illinois, just two hours west of Chicago.
Two pools and a beach provide a great way for families to relax and cool off during the hot summer months. Our year-round recreation staff provides structured recreation programs and services throughout the year.
Wildlife is abundant at Woodhaven and it’s very common to see deer frolicking through the prairies during all seasons.
We believe you have to experience Woodhaven to fully understand what we can offer to you and your family. Please take the time to browse through our website for more information or to look at a current list of our available properties. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a free tour of our property, please contact us!

This season we invite you to slow down, look back, and relive the music, memories, styles, and traditions that have shaped summer fun through the years. Follow along each weekend as we highlight the decades with every band, movie, and activity through those eras. Come celebrate timeless campground traditions, family connections, and the simple joys of being outdoors—reminding us that while trends may change, great summer memories never go out of style. Aiming for a nostalgic journey through the decades from the 1950s to today, our theme for this year is SUMMER REWIND!
