Rating: 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Camp Reinberg »This is a tiny gem in Chicagoland with a lot going for it. Only five RV sites, plus tent sites and cabins. We have only camped here in off season, $50/nite in the summer is not worth it to us when we only live 6 miles away. But they have a lot of activities in the summer, check the website and reserve early. The good: 1. It is in a forest preserve with an extensive network of hiking trails and a paved bike path. 2. The Metra station is less than 3 miles away, you can be in downtown Chicago in less than one hour. 3. Restaurants and shopping nearby at Deer Park Town Center. 4. Propane, ice, other supplies are also very close. The bad: They need to work on their logistics. Much of the information on the website is wrong, like hours and phone numbers. On some sites, the fire ring is too close to your trailer for a safe campfire. The electric hook up is on the wrong side of the pad (really). No water hook ups (oddly, they have sewer though) and no spigots. You will be hauling water, unless their hose will reach your site. They told when we reserved that we could have it (hose) for our stay but then someone pounded on our door at 9:00 at night and told us that was wrong. He did allow us to fill our fresh water tank before he took it though. This place is geared for giving an outdoors experience to locals. They have classes like Camping 101, they rent equipment like bicycles and snowshoes and even a complete tent set up with sleeping bags. If you are not local, the main reason for going there is to have a convenient way to visit Chicago. - janci

Rating: 2 1 1 6 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The RV Park "That Could Be". The setting is stunning, right on the edge of Lake Michigan in all her glory with the Chicago Skyline to the far south. That is the best. For the price and in comparison to other Military RV parks, this one is in the basement. Permanent party personnel essentially have "gear adrift" making their campsite look unkempt. The gravel road is not graded and full of dips and holes. Many campsites flood and the grounds are muddy after rains. There is only 30/50 amp service. The dump is a mile away and potable water is in a different location. Much work is needed to make this a better RV park. - DMAC57
Site 014 was a mud pit. Plywood boards were placed haphazardly in an attempt to aliviate RV wheels sinking into the mud...to no avail. I will not return, nor recommend to others. Sewage disposal and potable water fill were left to the user to discover. I've stayed at many a military encampment, but nothing as terrible as this. Great Lakes should be ashamed. - FrederickC

I will not stay at this camp site again and I would not recommend it to anybody. A nice view of the Lake. - Aaron1968

Rating: 5 7 8 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed for 2 weeks in a full hookup site near the pool area. Site was small and mostly gravel. They do not clean the sites in between campers as I had to spend the first 15 mins picking up cigarettes butts and shoveling ash from where the previous campers had moved the fire ring. Picnic table was bent and we had to put torn up boxes under the legs to level it. Staff mowed on/off everyday blowing grass on campers and anything left out in your site. Rained one day and everything flooded. Pool and lake have ridiculous rules and require everyone to get out for 10 mins at the top of every hour. This is fine for kids but for adults? No food or drinks (except for bottled water) in the pool area - even though the pavilion area near the pool is filled with garbage. No water balls except for 'soakers' which are heavier when soaked and would hurt more if taken to the head! Lifeguard at the pool wore sweatpants and was covered in a blanket looking hungover. Not sure how she'd save anyone?! Beach area is small but nice - but having to get out every hour is ridiculous. Lifeguards are constantly blowing their whistle and yelling at people but allow kids to splash each other violently and throw sand. One day my wife and kids couldn't stay at the beach because they had 3 bus loads of kids from an outside day camp and they ran around like animals unsupervised. Overall okay experience but needs improvements. - Thinkr2
As others have mentioned, this has a very charming, mid century feel to it. The lake is a wonderful amenity. The staff was helpful and friendly. The majority of the campground is taken up with park models, seasonals and rentals. The overnight section is small. We have a 43 foot motorhome and jeep tow and found this place to be very challenging. To say it is big rig friendly is just not accurate. Low hanging branches at entrance had the tv antennae spinning and the vents and AC units scraping. The check in area across from the lake was very congested. Kids running everywhere and no great place to queue. Found out later that the campground beach and beach amenities are open to the public, for a fee, and not exclusive to the registered guests. After registering, you need to loop back to where you started to find your site. Tight, narrow roads. No good place to unhook your toad, or hook back up. Our back in site was just long enough for the rig, the toad went sideways in the street. The site was uphill, too steep to have the leveling jacks do any good. The right rear jack sunk eight inches into the gravel base. The water connection is located on the site behind you, which you share. No chance for satellite, not even using the portable. No cable. Over the air channels were 8 lousy stations and Fox, and with all of them the picture tiled badly. The only saving grace was the Internet, which was excellent. The charm wore off with a visit to the restroom. They are old, and not in a good way. Mosquito infested. Tried to take a shower but gave up after five bites. Ingress and egress off of busy Highway 12 is a challenge. - VegasVagabonds
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Fish Lake Beach Camping Resort »Exceptional well maintained park located near a large metro area. The park is clean, all utilities function well and there is a very large dog park. As mentioned in other reviews, there are many park model trailers but they are very well kept. With lots of features including an 80 acker lake, this is an ideal park to kick back or visit the Chicagoland area. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The restrooms and showers, although older style, are very clean. Stay here again? Yes, definitely! - OldeJohn

This was okay, but we were driven away by a bunch of tiny flies. No biting, just swarming all over everywhere. Pit toilets, no showers, best for self-contained only. - Janjanjan68
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Buffalo Park Forest Preserve »We have stayed here many times in 2004 and 2005. There are flush toilets at the Ranger Station. No reservations, but always a site except for holiday weekends. On holidays arrive early in week and get a great spot. Each spot has it's own water, elec, and fire ring. The wildlife in area is beautiful, crane, egrets, and several other fishing birds can be seen all day long. Additions of more tent sites expected soon. Residents of Kane County pay 10, others pay 15. - beckolette

Rating: 8 8 9 7 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Camp ground: Very nice. Plenty of space between camping spots. We reserved a spot in the 300 section that backed to Lake Michigan. It was a little too steep for our 38 ft motorhome so we ended up moving to a level first come first serve site on the 100 section. There weren't many people camping during the week. Full park with no campsites available over weekend. We thought it would be noisy over the weekend. Very quiet. Several people had campfires going. Lots of kids riding bikes~With this in mind drive slow. We seen several people driving faster than the 10 mph speed limit. Showers were extremely clean. Could use new shower curtain but that's minor. The water pressure is hard and awesome!! Several playground areas for kiddos. Super friendly staff. Eager to answer your questions. Campground is well kept and very clean. Regarding beach past resort area: We drove by day after our arrival (7-9-19) to see where to take our kayaks out onto Lake Michigan. For us too many people just hanging out in parking lot for no reason. Loud music playing from their vehicles. We decided with so many people just loitering around it might not be safe to leave our Jeep out of sight to go kayaking. Very clean beach. Several people out swimming. No lifeguard on duty. Beach appears to be littered with trash, but when you get closer you realize it's big white rocks and lots of shells. Perfect place to build a sand castle. No dogs allowed on beach area. - RLKeller
This was a nice park right on the shore of Lake Michigan. We had a site in the 300 row, closest to the water. There was a stand of trees and a bit of marshy area between us and the lake, but you could hear the waves. Lots of places to ride your bicycle, trails lead into town. It filled up on the weekend and of course there were lots of campfires, but that's what you do when you go camping! We enjoyed our stay here, even though the water was too cold for swimming or boarding. We'll get another chance at Lake Michigan later in the summer - looking forward to that because the water was as clean as could be. - Denise and Glenn
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Illinois Beach State Park »We love this park even though it does not have all the site amenities of most RV Parks. Sites are spaced well and wooded. Very common to see deer. I enjoy riding along the lake path. If you need full hook-ups to be comfortable this is not the place for you. If you like a very nice setting, it works well. - h and e

Rating: 9 5 8 6 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We are from this area & stay at this park every year while visiting friends. The sites are large & the grass is thick. The campground hosts are friendly & fair. There is no sewer but there is a dump station. There is no cable or WI Fi. 99.99 percent of the sites are satellite friendly & the Chicago are provides a wealth of over the air stations. There are plenty of shopping & restaurants in the area. There are no other real campgrounds in the area. So we are glad to have this one. Sites are on a first come first serve basis & you can only stay two weeks at a time. - Connie's Co-Owner
Have stayed here before but has been a few years. Sad to see that they continue to have rude and unfriendly attendant return again this year but wont hire back friendly and helpful woman they have had for many years there previous. Nothing for children to do here but ride bikes or fish. Same campers hog sites for up to 2 weeks at a time. Is OK for an overnight stop. - LanieG
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Burnidge Forest Preserve, Paul Wolff Campground »Very clean campground, with only Water & electric available (we used 50 amp) It has 2 dump stations that are easily accessible. Concrete pads are pretty level, but we did have to dip our front end pretty heavily to level front to back. Large fire rings with firewood available for sale on site. They do have a rule about mat size and we did have to bring ours up, as I looked at all the tents pitched in RV sites (with no RV), so not sure what that issue was about. There are a lot of retailers pretty close by. - TimothyR

Rating: 9 4 7 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Camped in the section called Fox Grove. The sites are level and spacious. We camp here whenever we travel to Chicago. The park is approximately 8-10 miles from shopping and groceries. - Poe Dog
Rules, rules, rules with a side of rules. This park has more rules than any other we have stayed including Yellowstone. We arrived just after 10pm due to an issue with a flat tire. We had communicated along the way that we would be cutting it close due to the issue. This is the first rule we had to deal with (No arrivals past 10pm). We were greeted by a surly gentlemen who promptly informed me that my wife could go into the office to check us in but I needed to pull my 40ft 5th wheel back around because I was too far to the left. He said I needed to u-turn around the office, exit the park and come back in. Never mind the fact that there was a policeman doing paperwork in the right lane which I didn't want to box in. I refused to move and the man's wife eventually told me that I would be ok where I was. It took my wife 20 mins to check in largely due to the presentation of the rules of the park. There are some 24-27 rules that you need to acknowledge. Pulling in, the sites were tight and getting my rig in was a chore. The sites were not well taken care of either. The grass was long and the above ground fire pit was full of ash/burnt wood and trash. No water hookups and only 30 amp service. The park itself doesn't offer much in terms of activities and would be more aptly named chain-o-swamps as water access is minimal due to the marshy wetland area in which the park resides. Bring ample bug spray or you may need a transfusion when you get home. Pit toilets in the campground. Shower facilities were a hike. - Ben Keethler
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Chain-O-Lakes State Park »Stayed here while visiting Chicago. People in the check-in building were very friendly. Showers were clean, but the type of shower heads and water pressure was awful. They shower head was too high, so you barely got any water on you unless you are very tall. Also its the annoying push button type. The mosquitos were HORRIBLE!!!! We could not even sit outside. Each night before going to bed we had to kill mosquitos inside our camper. Approx. 10-20.I know the campground is surrounded by water, but surely they could could fog/spray throughout the campground occasionally. Also did not like the gritty stuff on the site.It rained while we were there and it was hard to keep from tracking it in the camper. We will not he returning here. - Gary Stanton

Rating: 1 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: They will nickle and dime you to death - $5 and $10 at a time. Their web site implies they charge extra for electricity for their monthly rate only, inferring that electric is included for nightly and weekly rates. They put us on a non-sewer site. Charged us sewer site rates with free weekly pump out. Then only pumped out about 1/2 or less of our gray water (verified by shower backing up after only 2 low water usage showers), and tried to charge us $15 pump out on top of it. This nonsense is on top of already high rates, which they get away with because they are the only game in town. As it is on a river it gets extra soggy when it rains. Don't forget mosquito repellent. Try another park. - Sabrown9001
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Fox River Recreation »We paid $42/night, which was reflected in the weekly rate. The park is primarily occupied by seasonals who are here for the access to the Fox River Basin. There is a boat ramp for those with boats. We were in a 40' motor home that requires 13' overhead clearance. The staff had to hold up low slung wires and trim tree branches for us, which they did willingly. Mosquitoes were horrible and prevented us from being outdoors. The sewer system is gray water only and is marginal for that. Pumping service for black tanks is available one time per week. The site we had reserved and paid for in advance was given to a seasonal who arrived ahead of us. You may lose your site if they get a better deal. That being said, we had a long, solid gravel, level site that accommodated our rig, our towed vehicle, and our motorcycle. This park met our needs for a week visiting family in the area. - Biker2
