Rating: 3 3 1 1 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We wanted to stay close to Chicago for four nights to attend a wedding. This campground would not take a reservation until the day before we wanted to arrive. Then, they charged a $35 fee to make a reservation and the fee was NOT offset against the cost of the stay. We were given a very small site for our 40' motor home. When we hooked up, we noted that the voltage on both legs of our 50 amp service was 110 or less. I saw 105 at one point. After a half hour with one A/C on, our breaker started to blow. Since we planned to stay for four nights and it was very hot, we couldn't handle the situation so we left. On the plus side, they did not argue with us about the quality of the electrical service and gave up a full refund. There are a lot of long term residents at the campground and their sites are not well maintained. The campground is open to all the noise from I-80. The name of the campground is now "Martin's Camping Ground." - Seaesta
We just stopped here overnight on our way east and I am glad that we only stayed overnight because I wouldn't want to be here for two nights. Very little improvements have been done in this park, just a grass area with hookups and poor gravel roads. Even the office is in poor shape. Grass has grown up about a foot high around a lot of the campers which means that they are there long term, mostly people that work in the area. I definitely wouldn't want to stay here again. - Linda Allan

Some people live here year round, by the looks of the sites and campers.
No restrictions on how old your rig is.. bring in your beast.
Rates to me are too high. take it or leave it attitude.
$700 a month for 50 amp with Water and sewer.
Gossipy workers/owners. People come in all hours of the night.
You will get a tongue lashing if you go over the speed limit of 10 MPH.
No campfires. No ice. Very cramped conditions. Many run down sites.
I-80 Road noise 24/7. No buffer for noise control.
I needed this facility as a place to stay while on contractual work in the area.
Otherwise, I would avoid. - josephine Plumber -

Rating: 6 6 9 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed here for five nights. Even though the nightly rate is listed at $35 there is an automatic $10 per day "hotel amenity" fee for small bottles of water given upon check in, a shuttle service to the casino, and a typical hotel breakfast, whether you use these or not. You do receive a $5 per day coupon for food at the casino should you choose to eat there. With the extra fee and tax the nightly rate jumps to $49.55. For W/E only and concrete pad that wasn't level it is very overpriced. The casino is easily within walking distance. The RV park has a laundromat. While they say they have internet I was never able to connect. - TravelingJan
RV park adjacent but away from the casino. Not a value at $149 for 3 nights including tax and resort fee for short W & E only, back in site. Grass between sites and a few trees. 2 miles off I-80. Not a family campground, no play area or pool. Free open wifi at sites, no cable tv. Very small restrooms and only 2 machines in laundry. Also placed a $50 hold on you card which they credit back days after you leave. Staff friendly and helpful. OK for big rigs. Will NOT stay there again. - Pepper Dan

They give you a small discount on food in the casino restaurants (how else will they get non-gamblers in there otherwise?). Our dinner at 99 Hops was excellent and so was our server. Buffet breakfast was lukewarm but was included in the campsite rate. - monamonaco

Rating: 6 2 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is the 3rd year that we have camped on site of the Chicagoland Speedway for the summer race weekend in July. It is a bit expensive at $365 for the 3 days, but what isn't when staying near a Nascar event? I've seen hotels charge $200 or more per night as well, so in my opinion it's worth it to be on site and not have to drive back and forth. Check in began this year at 9am on Thursday: was VERY hectic and about an hour wait in line to get down to the campground. They need to work on better moving people to where they need to be, instead of mixing infield, speedway ridge and lakeside into 3 lines and then directing where to go. I think they need to open 3 different gates to make it easier and faster getting to your site and setting up. You must have the decals sent from the track affixed to the front windshield of the tow vehicle and the other on a window of your trailer. Once arriving at the campground entrance gate, we were greeted again and given two welcome packets filled with advertisements and information and nice little gift. We had no problems finding our spot as they are all are clearly marked. We had plenty of room with our 40 foot trailer on one spot and our friends 24 foot on the other. They do offer a potable water service that costs $40 per service and you must purchase tickets in advance for the service. The ticket tent is easily located at the front of the campground. The waste management trucks travel throughout the campground throughout the day for those wishing to use their service. The portable toilets were way cleaner this year than past years. However there could be more throughout the campground. They did not have enough toilets in my opinion. The shower truck was very nice and clean. The only problem with the shower truck is that it is open from 6:00 am until noon and then again from 6:00 pm until midnight. A big line started to form from 7:30 am and you could end up having to stand in line waiting for a shower for 30+ minutes. They have great water pressure and are hot instantly. They are not timed so you can shower as long as you wish thus the problem of the long line! Overall the campground is very clean and well kept. Grass could have been cut shorter. Bring your ant killer. We had little tiny ants all over our site. Noise was minimal but to be expected being at the races. They have a camp store on grounds for ice etc, but be prepared to spend $5 per small bag of ice and $4 for bottle of water and $7 for a plastic bottle of beer. They also provide a tram service to get you to the front gate. The tram service still needs work, they haven't gotten it to move a smoothly as it should be and the wait for a tram gets to be lengthy. I do recommend staying at this campground. We will more then likely coming back again next year. - campingfamof5
Unlike most NASCAR adjacent camping: Chicagoland does not allow pets. It's only open 4 days prior to the race and is very expensive. Not worthwhile. - exsailor81

Rating: 6 10 6 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The park seems to have mostly seasonal residents. We were tucked in the back and didn't even have our own electric post... an extension cord was provided to another post dedicated to another site. The site was not very level. The staff was very nice but the overall feel of the park was somewhat depressing. It's okay for a one nighter, however, I wouldn't consider a long term stay. - Gator67
We were astounded to find such a great park, during the 4th of July week, that had vacancies at the last minute. We spent 5 nights here and loved it - and we have been in dozens and dozens of parks, so we know what to appreciate. The park has a lake in the middle (with paddleboating and fishing), playgrounds, and more. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table and the length was more than enough for our 40 foot plus our long pickup. Full hookups, great water pressure, fast local internet (plus we have good AT&T on our router. There is a small amount of road noise - which is very surprising since we're immediately next to I55, but the noise was not noticeable. The people were super friendly and accomodating (fishing is $3 a day, but the miniature golf and paddle boating and swimming was free). - Don Self
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Leisure Lake Membership Resort »For us, we didn’t utilize the features that others might find valuable for the nightly rate...these are abundant for families with kids or those who like to fish. What we would have really liked for the value and the space clearly available, was a dog park.
The gravel was thick and looked like it gets raked frequently which is nice. There was a concrete pad which is also a huge bonus with all the rainy weather. HOWEVER...there were bones (chicken?) at various locations on our site which was an issue when taking our dogs out...or while sitting out with them. There were cigarette butts all around our site as well. - Hulio5 -

Rating: 8 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nightly rate reflects weekend, non-Cook County resident fee. Very nice park with adequate campsites. Nice views of lake. Shower/restrooms were clean and usable. Only problem was the well water at the campground. Since there are no water connections at the sites, you had to fill the camper water tank. They claim the water is not drinkable, so we brought good water in containers. What we discovered is the well water contains iron, which makes it look rust colored. They were working on a water purification system while we were there. Overall, we enjoyed that campground as a base for exploring Chicago. There were transit stations nearby to get into the city. - AlreadyGone
Had a nice site overlooking the lake. The MAIN reason we stayed here was its proximity to Chicago. 1/2 hour to 45 minutes depending on traffic. Great to be able to set up shop that close to the city. - ianschneiderman
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Camp Bullfrog Lake »Lakeside tent and RV sites in forest near Chicago. Beautiful, quiet setting. Narrow paved roads and, narrow, level gravel sites, but back-in access was acceptable (most sites have gravel turning apron). Park is new, with lots of grass and young trees. Lots of dog walking area around lake. There are fire rings and picnic tables at each site. Restrooms are clean, but showers are not (women's side had dirt under bench and mulitple day hair buildup on the floor. Also, well water has caused brown rust stains on everything, so it looks unappealing, and water has a very unpleasant mineral odor and taste. A sign claims they are intending to install a filtration system. RV sites have 50/30/20 electric, but no water. There is one spigot at the office, but it is connected to a garden hose and I would not put that water in my tank anyway, so bring your tank full from outside. There are variable length sites, so choose carefully. There is room at front of RV sites to diagonally park a vehicle. No at-site sewer, but there is a dump station. Very over priced based on lack of at-site sewer and water issues. This place would be an 8 if it had at-site, decent water. We would not stay again unless they improve the water quality. - LoneWolf

Rating: 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Camp Sullivan »This county-operated campground advertises suitability for up to 40' RVs. That is true, but does not take into account the width of the RV, including slides. The power supply is near the drivers side rear of the site and a tall pipe with hooks on it is located on the passenger side closer to the front of the site. These 2 items are about 12' apart. Many rigs would not be able to fit into the site and be able to open their slides and door. Despite the availability of a more suitable site, staff would not allow a move. The park is lush and wooded. It's proximity to Chicago makes it a good choice for visiting the city. Sites 1-10 have electric only. Sites 7 & 8 are concrete and might be meant for campers with disabilities but are not designated. Those 2 sites do not have the obstructing poles. The other electric sites are a combination of gravel and grass, slightly off level. This campground is best for renters or RV's less than 30'. There's no sewer at any sites and no dump station at the park. None of the sites have water hookups. - JJMCS

I started camping here last August after I had bought my rv. This was my very first time camping pretty close to home. At first, I though this place looks pretty bad however, I went up the hill and around by the river where full hook ups were. It was unbelievably NICE!! Very quiet and hardly no campers. I drove around and yes, around the office there are A LOT of run down and abandoned campers. I couldn't believe how HUGE this place was. For a "Tent Camper" this is the place!! Yes, some security officers were "sorta" scary, but once you get to know them, they are ok people. The guy in the office is very nice and helpful. Its not the owner's fault people leave their garbage everywhere!!! They should clean up after themselves. I have never had any problems camping here. Its been quiet and very peaceful!!! Yes, a little clean up would do wonders!! Again, Thats on the "Seasonal's and Yearlys". Again, its a campground!! I have never seen any criminal activity and I have been at this campground every weekend so far this year and every weekend from the time I bought my rv in July last year. Nothing, to show me, I wouldnt camp here. There is no check out time and again, it was quiet every time. Even, Memorial weekend this year, it was quiet!!! $35 a night for full hookups is very reasonable. I had an electrical problem, called the office and they were there within 20 min to fix the issue. Matter of fact they replaced the entire breaker. This campground is very peaceful and the people are friendly (the Seasonals and yearlys). I would recommend this place to family and friends all day and night. - donna and dan
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Hide-A-Way Lakes »The park was a lot cleaner as the week progressed. The park has a very bad reputation which I believe is not warranted. There are a lot of very very old rv's here and some of them need to be demolished. The roads are full of pot holes which make you slow down. I don't think it would be any worse with speed bumps. The primitive areas are scenic except there were few bathrooms and no showers. The section we were in, A2, was very nice, flat long and the utilities worked great. Security is excellent. They man the gate all night. The full time residents are near the front and everyone else is in the back. Everyone we came in contact with was nice and helpful. The camp store was well stocked with parts and some food. The store was not overpriced. - sflabrkr

There are many lakes in the area, which used to be coal mining pits and strip mines. The campground has a swimming pond and fishing ponds, although recent rains flooded the ponds. The water has a heavy concentration of hydrogen sulfide, probably from previous mining activities, so bring a water filter. Most residents buy their drinking water locally. This is a quiet, gated community and the residents are generally friendly. The park has many local activities. - Dick and Linda

Older park in the middle of nowhere. Under new management. They started to put in a new bathhouse in a park model. All pull through sites. They were also in the process of putting gravel on the sites to get them out of the mud. The land is pretty low and it floods with every rainstorm. - Glen_mich

Rating: 3 7 9 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Maybe I just happened to pick a bad weekend, but this first visit to this campground was completely miserable. Perhaps had I come to tent camp and never expected to leave the campground the whole weekend, I'd have a different opinion. First the good points-- nice graveled campsites (and all have electric), plenty of shade and privacy between the sites in this heavily wooded campground, fairly clean bathhouse, and a nice lake nearby. If you happen to be a resident of DuPage county, the $20/night rate is not bad either. Sadly, the good points end there. The campground is located at the very back of the park and requires driving over 6 large speed bumps to come and go. The campground roads are narrow gravel with tight turns and hills. Most sites are only suitable for tents, pop-ups, vans, or RVs less than 25'. The only available water is from non-threaded spigot pumps. The dump station is small and tilted the wrong way to empty most RV tanks. The campground is only open 2 or 3-night weekends from May through Sept. But perhaps the biggest negative-- both the campground and forest preserve gates are closed and locked just after sunset every night. If you want to enjoy a nice dinner beyond the park boundaries, or visit friends in the area, forget about it! One final negative-- when I visited, the park was literally overwhelmed with mosquitoes. So bad I had to wear a bug jacket to cover my head and upper body! In the future, I'll stay at the Kane Co. Forest Preserve campgrounds-- much MUCH nicer parks that have been built with RVers in mind. - WinnieViews
This park is a bit hard to locate. It is actually located in Warrenville. Any RV campground in the Chicago is a rarity so even with some drawbacks we were glad to find this one. It is a large, beautiful and heavily-wooded oasis in a pretty congested area. Staff very friendly. Restrooms were immaculate even with heavy usage on a holiday weekend. The drawbacks are: (1) it is only open for Fri. and Sat. night camping except on holidays, (2) no and or sewer connections and the few water spigots will not allow for a hose to be connected so to fill your tank requires carrying water in containers to your RV. Sites are level and very spacious with site #64 being best located for the restrooms with showers. One unusual plus is that those over 65 get 1 free weekend per year. We would camp here again. - judb
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Blackwell Family Campground »We've been visiting Blackwell for almost 40 years, but this is the first time we've camped there. We only live about 7 miles from there so it's an easy weekend. This is an oasis in the middle of suburbia. Heavily wooded sites, with level crushed gravel pads and now, electric at all sites, according to the attendant at the gatehouse. There are no water or sewer hookups, but there are spigots throughout the park. There is an adequate dump station, although it is not all that level, so your tanks may not fully empty. I remarked to my wife that whether we traveled three hours to Wisconsin or drove 7 miles to Blackwell, the end result is the same. Quiet camping in a lovely area. The one downside to this campground is that it's only open on weekends, except for holiday weeks when it's open for the entire week. Also making reservations entails calling the District HQ and booking over the phone. There is a three day reservation window which pretty much eliminates spur of the moment camping. The camping permits arrive by snail mail, so very last century. Still, it adds to the charm I suppose. We'll be back often. In the summer the crowds in Wisconsin can be frustrating, so this is a nice alternative if you just want a quiet weekend to camp without dealing with all the traffic. - baraff
