Situated on the immaculate waters of the Sankoty Aquifer, Sankoty Lakes is home to some of the cleanest, clearest water on earth. This wilderness retreat offers outdoor recreation, education and relaxation experiences like no other, including relaxed farm-to-table dining and unique Midwestern fly fishing experiences.
From camping at our beautiful RV resort, well-appointed cabins, and private glamping tents to our unique beachfront, beautiful trout stream and stunning lakeside views, we invite you to stay, play, and explore the great outdoors amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Central Illinois River Valley.
We are a family of 7 and had so much fun with our boys, kayaking, boating , riding around on the golf cart and spending time together around the bonfire. The cabin was clean ,spacious with a full stocked kitchen made it easy to take care of our Boys and prepare food. All staff was pleasant and had great manners. Kim Marsh took excellent care of us and we highly recommend taking your family here for a relaxing weekend to remember!
We have been multiple times just for lake days and have loved it. This time we stayed in one of the glamping tents and had just as amazing of an experience! The staff is amazing and have truly thought of everything.
The only reason I have given it 4 stars instead of 5 is that only a very small portion of the beach has been open this summer, but that is never communicated. The food at the restaurant is amazing, but the serving staff is new and struggled with the amount of customers.
Our family of 4 has a great time in the glamping tents! The staff is friendly and helpful, the tents were clean and very comfortable. The property was beautiful and we had a great time with our little ones at the beach and fishing! Being able to bring bikes to get around the property was awesome! Will definitely book here again!
We've been camping for 5 years and have stayed at dozens of parks from Virginia to Florida and Texas off the coasts at beautiful RV resorts.
We just finished staying a week at Sankoty and this resort is definitely top 5 for me.
The staff is nice and very accommodating.
They've made this resort feel first class.
We live about 1 1/2 hr away and so thankful a place like this is so close.
We will definitely be coming back again and again.
Thank you Sankoty for such a great stay.
