NOTE: Once you create your account, our office will need to confirm your residency in McHenry County. New accounts are monitored daily during the business week. If you create your account after 4:30 p.m. Monday – Friday, you will not be able to register until after 9 a.m. the next business day. This does not apply to camping and shelter reservations - you may make those as soon as your account is created.
Household accounts should include only immediate family members and adults should be the parent or legal guardian of any minors within the account. All others should establish a separate account.
Campers: review these special instructions before making your reservation.
