Lake Wildwood Association is a private, gated recreational community that is centrally located between Chicago and Peoria, just north of Varna, Illinois. The Association boasts two lakes - the largest, Lake Wildwood, is 220 acres and offers boating, fishing and swimming. Lake Tanglewood is 18 acres and is strictly a fishing lake located near our private campground.
Lake Wildwood is governed by Restrictive Covenants, By-Laws, and Rules and Regulations. Members of the Association pay annual dues which entitles them to use of all amenities.
