Official 2010 IDI Rally Thread
hello and welcome to the 2010 rally being held in Garden Prairie, IL. July 1st through the 5th, 2010. come as early as you want, stay as late as you want(personally, we are currently looking at a nine day stay). My wife and i are grateful for the opportunity to host this years rally, and are looking forward to having everyone come out. i am still working on the schedule and will up date this thread as things fall into place.
Just an FYI if your coming in from the east on 80/94, or up from the south on 65 merging into 80/94, to avoid having to drive through Chicago stay on 80 west, past the 94 N split, past the 294 N split, past the 57 N split.( my gps kept trying to re-route me to these roads to get me home) they recently completed the 355 extension all the way down to 80. it will skirt you around downtown and drop you off on 90 to the north. depending on the time of day it could shave several hours of your travel times
The campground.... Paradise Camping Resort
address.... 11122 Station Street
Garden Prairie, IL
61038
phone number... 1-877-462-2671
they require a cc number to hold your spot. nothing will be charged to it, they use it to hold reservations. There is a three day minimum stay for the weekend and when you arrive you can charge it or provide another form of payment as you see fit. we are reserved under the "Ford IDI Weekend". while there are no full hook ups, there is a honey truck available on site. water and electric on all sites, several pull through, and a couple of tent sites.Paradise Camping Resort.
i will have an internet connection available at the site 24/7 for anyone to use
there are no cabins available, but there are several hotels within 10 min of the campgrounds. there is also an rv dealer about 1/2 an hour north of the campground that rents campers.
