In Illinois it means no showers, no sinks, no flushing toilets. If I'da understood that, I would of pick somewhere else, I camped for 2 nights, 3 days with no where to shower. There are water pumps, and if it hadn't been 49° I'da totally washed up at the pump. Also, they lock the gates at dusk/10pm ish, if you are out at an event, you can't get back in until they open the gates at dawn 6am ish... Lesson learned, do...
