Pumpkins…Pumpkins Everywhere!!!

On October 3rd, Lake Alexander celebrated fall with its annual Halloween Party. Ghouls, witches, princesses and even Sponge Bob showed up in full costume! The pumpkin carving was a blast as well as the trick or treating, party games, piñatas, gift baskets, potluck, and hayrides. A sunny day and warm fall temperatures made the event a great final hurrah for the 2026 camping season!

Thank you to Laura Hambrick and Dora Haynes who organized volunteers and to all our enthusiastic campers who made the event the success it was.

Mother Nature’s Fireworks

We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July Celebration in 2026. We know that our campers did!
At Lake Alexander our natural fireworks carry on the entire month of July. We have a wetland environment that fireflies love. Every evening they rise from the fields and fill the night and trees with a gorgeous glow.

A few fun facts about Fireflies: Fireflies

Fireflies aren't actually flies

Surprise! They're beetles. Yep, legit beetles with a flair for the dramatic. Their glow is a type of light called bioluminescence.

Why do they glow?

The main reason fireflies flash is for romance. Different species have their own flashing patterns and the males fly around showing off their blink game. If a female sees one she likes, she flashes back.

Fireflies are disappearing

Unfortunately, firefly populations around the globe are facing threats. Light pollution, habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change dim their glow. Since fireflies rely on specific environments (wetlands, meadows, forests) and need dark skies to communicate, all those extra streetlights and shrinking green spaces make it harder for them to survive and reproduce.

There are ways you can help:

Turn off outdoor lights when you're not using them.
Avoid using pesticides in your garden.
Plant native grasses and flowers.
Protect wetlands and natural water sources

Memorial Day Reflections
Among all the outdoor fun, boating, fishing, grilling, and enjoying friends and family around the campfire, let's not forget the true meaning of the day and honor the men and women of our armed services who gave their lives to defend our lives. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy the holiday weekend! Now summer's really on, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER
This season our campers have had fun watching the various flocks of wild turkeys roam the RV park…from camper's front lawns to the playground to the harvested fields. And like clockwork, we would watch the flocks fly over the old fishing pond or into the woods to roost for the night in the tall trees. Their poor night vision makes them vulnerable to night predators. Especially during the fall and winter, most turkeys join ranks with other birds. Turkeys flock together for safety, better feeding and a complex social structure. Not unlike us humans.

We are grateful for all those that made this season a success. We truly value your business and your friendship, Thank You.

From our flock to yours…Happy Thanksgiving!

A SPOOKTACULAR WEEKEND

Earlier in October, Lake Alexander campers celebrated an early Halloween. Pumpkin Carving, Trick or Treating, Face Painting, Karaoke, Games, Hayrides, and a Potluck overflowing with a variety of delicious foods. The weather was indeed spooky... peaking at 89 degrees in the afternoon! We almost thought we were at Mardi Gras! We are so grateful for all the volunteers who made the event happen and all our wonderful campers who made the event one of our best yet!

Labor Day is Here!

Today we celebrate the contributions of our American workforce both past and present. We honor the hands that build, the hearts that care and the minds that innovate. Hard work and dedication are what built this country and what keeps it going. Whether you’re working today, camping here at Lake Alexander, spending the day celebrating with family and friends, or simply taking a break and doing nothing at all…we wish you a Happy Labor Day!

SUMMER IS STILL HERE

Campers have commented that they can’t believe how fast this summer has flown by. We couldn’t agree more. But we can’t deny it when we walk the camp and see garden flowers in late summer bloom, the signature August wetland "Cardinal Flower" popping up along our river road, butterflies emerging from their cocoons, and our garden yielding a steady vegetable bounty. No matter how you’ve spent your summer, it’s never too late to get out there and enjoying nature at her finest. We sure have!

SUMMER IS HERE!

The first day of summer is upon us! The Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere is Friday, June 20th. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming in the prairie and the garden, and the turtles are busy sunning on the ponds and laying their eggs in the sand. In true summer fashion, we had our first days above 90 degrees this week at Lake Alexander. The camping is good, the fish are biting, and the firefly shows are just getting started. Come visit!

YOUR THANKSGIVING TURKEY’S WILD COUSIN

The Wild Turkey may be the most recognizable bird in North America, most likely because of its strong association with Thanksgiving. Yet, many people know very little about this colorful bird. Did you know that: while nearly going extinct in the early 1900, conservation efforts have brought the wild turkey population back to 6.5 million in the United States and 150,000 in Illinois.

Wild turkeys live in wooded areas and wetlands, roost in trees overnight, and feed on acorns, grasses, berries, fruits, grains, nuts, and seeds. Male turkeys can weigh over 25 pounds and are often identified by the tuft of feathers on their chest called a “beard", with females weighing half that amount. Turkeys have a complex vocabulary of over 20 different vocalizations and express emotion through their “waddle” color which hangs from their beak. Wild turkeys are skilled fliers and can reach 60 mph in short bursts. Turkeys can live up to 10 years.

At Lake Alexander we have a healthy wild turkey population, and our seasonal campers have fun catching photos of them dropping by their bird feeders. We’re grateful to the “wild cousin” for being here. Happy Thanksgiving!
