About this file
This Occupancy Report is a Department of Natural Resources Division of Concession and Lease Management document tracking the operational performance of the Cave-In-Rock State Park Lodge and Restaurant Concession from 2021 through 2025. The report presents monthly occupancy percentages for each year, providing historical performance data relevant to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' solicitation for a new concession vendor to operate the lodge and restaurant facility beginning January 1, 2027. The facility operates year-round restaurant services and seasonal cabin operations across four duplex cabins, with the contract term extending through December 31, 2031, and renewal options available up to twenty-five years total. Proposals for this concession opportunity are due August 11, 2026, with award based on the highest percentage of gross receipts offered by the responsive and responsible bidder.
The occupancy data demonstrates declining operational performance over the tracked period, with average annual occupancy percentages declining from 55.33 percent in 2021 to 43 percent in 2025. Monthly patterns reveal consistently low occupancy during winter months (January, February, and December), with peak occupancy typically occurring in April and October, ranging from 70 to 92 percent during these months. The 2024 data shows the lowest average occupancy at 43.42 percent, with particular weakness in May and August. This historical performance information is provided to prospective vendors to assess financial feasibility, with IDNR anticipating a minimum of 10 percent annual compensation based on gross receipts. The vendor must demonstrate a minimum of five years' hospitality industry experience and maintain a $10,000 performance surety bond throughout the contract period.
