The City of Hillsboro has made the following decisions for the 2021 Sherwood Forest Campground camping season.
The City plans to conduct a socially distanced “move” procedure in March for those who were permanent campers in 2019. Those who are on that move list will be able to choose from all sites that were permanent sites in 2019 that came open for the 2020 and the 2021 seasons. After that, the “waiting” list will be able to choose from the sites that remain open that were considered permanent sites in 2019 until all of those sites are filled. After that, we will fill the traditionally “weekend” sites with those on the waiting list that choose to fill those “weekend” sites for the 2021 season only.
There will be no host or short term camping for the 2021 season. There will be no office hours and the phone will not be turned on. Please contact the Parks office at 217 532-6778 or City Hall at 217 532-5566 if you need additional information or have any questions.
Hours of operation and/or availability of the comfort stations and shower house will be determined in March based on state and federal guidelines.
This plan is subject to change due to state or federal mandates or guidelines.
