This has become a somewhat regular last night stop for our fall trips. As previously noted, this is a membership park that rents out sites when available. At this time of year, it is easy to get a site and, even though there may still be dozens of RVs in the park, there are very few people here during the week. As usual, we had a level, pull through, FHU site that was satellite friendly. The park is close to Chicago to get 30-40 OTA channels. The bathrooms were clean as was the large laundry facility. - Jerry S

This is membership park and the only Good Sam members can stay at the park if not a member. Looks like they have lots of activities during the summer. The park had seen a lot of rain and the grass was soaked, but the roads had a lot of gravel so they where in great shape. Check in was easy and we got the last pull thru, the turns where tight but doable. The sewer was pretty fair away so did not bother. Every thing else worked fine. A lake in the middle of the park was cool and a nice walk in the morning and made for a great view from our site. The road in front was in constant use that and closeness to the 2 interstates made the park extremely noise. Not sure if we would say here again. - sjones

Sep 2019 - $38.00

Closest campground to Chicago from our direction of travel; short drive to Joliet train station for transportation to Chicago. It's adjacent to I-55 so lots of noise during the night. This is a membership park that allows public camping so our site hadn't been cleaned since last occupant; lots of leaves and tree branches and concrete pad was broken and cracked which challenged leveling efforts; wifi was sporadic and weak. - grandflic

We were traveling with our fifth wheel when we had a mechanical issue happen. We knew we needed to get to a campground so we were off the road. We called Martin's Campground, explained our situation and their response was come on in. We limped to the campground and was greeted by very friendly staff. We explained we had no idea who to call for repair or how long it would take. The owner gave us a name of a local company that he highly recommended for the repair. The staff doing our check in told us not to worry how long the repair took as they had a spot of us for as long as we needed it. For those who have had a mechanical issue happen while on the road, your biggest concern is to get somewhere safe and where the issue can be taken care. This campground provided those for us!! The campground is very well maintained and it shows that the owners care about their business. It is easy to get in and out of the park. Internal roads are in good shape. Our grassy site was just the right size - plenty of room between us and our neighbor. I would highly recommend this park. We were able to get our issue taken care of early the next morning and were back on the road. Thanks to the park! - shook17

Lot of full time older RVs. They did have an evening BBQ that we were invited to. Puppy running loose and we asked a coupe guys if they knew who's, one guys said his. They came to get the puppy and started giving my dog a vet check, trying to look at his teeth. in his ears, etc. Only spent one night passing through. - Edd505

Perfect for an overnight stay west of Chicago off interstate 80. Helpful staff saved me a satellite friendly pull through when I called that morning. Gravel roads with sun and shady spots. Lawn was neatly trimmed. Easy check in. - Mike & Laurie

Jul 2010 - $90.00

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

Jul 2009 - $75.00

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

Jul 2009 - $90.00

This is the second year that we have camped on site of the Chicagoland Speedway for the summer race weekend in July. Check in begins on Wednesday at noon before the race weekend. We arrived at 7:00 pm on the first day of check in and had no problem getting checked in. The process was very speedy. 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.

On our return trip north, we stayed at this campground overnight. We had a pull through site, 50 amp service and water hookup. Dump station is available. The campground was quiet and well maintained. If you want to visit the restaurant or casino, you call for a valet and a driver will pick you up at your RV site free of charge. - Jo Mo

Oct 2019 - $40.00

This is a very nice Casino CG. Be aware that the rate does not include the $10 amenity fee charged for breakfast, health club and Internet. During regular season the price is $10 higher. Despite their assurance that there is Internet, it is only available in the hotel. We stayed here twice this year and it did not work in the CG either time. Also, the food for breakfast has deteriorated over the past several years. However, sites are nice and paved. Plenty of space around and behind Campers. One of the few Chicago area campgrounds. - Ronald Ames

Oct 2019 - $50.00

Rate includes the mandatory "Hotel Amenity Fee" of $10/night. Taxes added $5.20/night. This is a standard RV Park with the only local attraction being the Hollywood Casino itself. (There is also a large truck parking lot that RVers can park overnight if you do not want hookups.) Check in at the hotel. W&E at site, dump station behind hotel. Slots are concrete pads with gravel aprons. Security patrols frequently. Rate includes small breakfast at the hotel (scrambled eggs, sausage patties, cereal, bread, bagel, coffee, juice), business room, gym, and a $5/day coupon redeemable at the casino restaurants. Shower/toilet house requires a key card that must be returned at check-out. 1 bar with AT&T. - LogicalThinker

Jun 2018 - $60.00

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

May 2018 - $45.00

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

May 2018 - $60.00

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

This is mostly a residential park with some residual camping sites and tent sites. 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

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

This is not a campground. This is a transient workplace for people like carnival workers, pipeline workers, welders, carpenters, and workers who are seasonal. The camp host seems nice. Place is very run down. From throwing my trash out before leaving, I saw that they do like their beer. Had I known, I would have stayed elsewhere. - pvcox

Apr 2009 - $19.00

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

Jul 2008 - $32.00

Under new management so this review is based on current conditions. Park is clean, good interior roads. Sites are long with sufficient room for big rigs and slides. Few trees so satellite OK. Low water pressure - very dirty water requires filtration!! Rest rooms and laundry very dirty, dated, need replacement - no cooling evident. would only use this park for an overnight, about three miles west of I57, some road noise from busy road adjacent to park. Owners very accommodating and will probably clean this park up given enough time to make required updates. - endlesstravels

Could be a beautiful park. There are so many old broken down dirty trailers in here. Some you can tell if tried to move would fall apart. The staff here is very unfriendly will not even wave to you. I would say could be high. I will not stay here again. - Ginger Dog53

Jul 2018 - $33.00

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

Jun 2017 - $25.00

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

Nice place to be while waiting for new truck brakes. Very friendly. A local couple camping there "took us in". Nice grounds, excellent paved biking/walking trail along the river. Very wooded. Only negative: on a busy truck route. If you want full restroom facilities, camp in season at Pottawatamie. It was already closed for the season when we were there. We were at Chippewa which is further from Bourbonnias and closer to the busy road. The river drive on the west side is scenic and worth the time. Take the Warner Bridge Rd. to get across. - snsfry

Sep 2010 - $25.00

Two campgrounds here. If you are in a bigger rig I would suggest the Chippewa campground. It is more open and easier to get in and out of. The Potawatomie campground is where we stayed and the loops are very tight. Heavily wooded on this side though some nice sites and very private. This park also has a great 10 mile paved bike trail. We would return here but stay in the Chippewa campground next time. - janieD

There is water located through out the campgrounds and there is plenty of good sites to choose from. Good place for base camp to explore the area around Kankakee. - Fordiesel250
