The Chippewa campground of Kankakee River State Park will reopen to visitors this Monday, August 28 after being closed since 2015.
The Chippewa campground closed at the end of the fall 2015 camping season after a pump broke in the 1,700-foot well that serves the campground.
The well provides water for drinking, bathing, cleaning, and more.
The project included the construction of a new facility to treat water on-site and other improvements. Work was delayed during the two-year state budget impasse.
The campground is located on Illinois 102, about 2 miles west of the Kankakee River State Park main office.
It has 98 total campsites, which are available by reservation only.
