The Illinois Campground Association named new officers at the end of 2024 for 2025.

At the association’s annual meeting in December 2024, a new slate of directors was confirmed, including two members filling vacant positions. The 2025 ICA board of directors is comprised of:

President: Jamie Rogers, Mendota Hills Campground

Vice President: Kate Tuxhorn, Country Bend Campgrounds

Secretary: Jeff Bladdick, I-55 RV Park

Treasurer: Nanette Gillan, Green River Oaks Camping Resort

Member Liaison: Randy Greenman II, Double J Campground

Past President: BJ Davis, Rustic Acres Jellystone ParkTM

ICA welcomes two new campgrounds to its membership in January. Crystal Lake RV Park in Rock Falls, IL is located 2 miles off Interstate 88 and is open year-round with sites designed to accommodate large RVs. Evening Star Camping Resort in Topeka, IL has accommodations ranging from tent sites to full hook-ups and cabins, and amenities including a swimming pool, mini-golf, fishing pond, and playground.

February 2025 marks one year since ICA contracted with Bennett and his staff to manage the day-to-day operations of the association.

According to ICA Executive Director Don Bennett Jr., both the staff and board of directors have been hard at work engaging with current and prospective members and reaching out to industry suppliers.

“Our goal has been to maintain value in the association and increase our membership through our member engagement, marketing outreach, advocacy activities, and expanding member benefits and services,” said Bennett. “This association has a very active and hardworking board of directors that is doing a great service for the outdoor hospitality industry in Illinois.”
