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

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

Like others have said, it is what it is, a truck yard. But, it is close to the beach at Lake Michigan, close to the Navy Pier, and about a 15 dollar Uber ride to downtown. Was not too trashy, was pretty quiet, and there were about 2 dozen RVs there when we spent the night. Would definitely stay again as there is no place else close. - DogFriendlyGuy

This place is, after all, a truck yard. You do have to plan (& call) ahead. But, you're only a couple miles down the lake front from the Navy Pier, & dead across Lakeshore Dr from the 31st St beach. For the money, this close to downtown, Urban Boondocking works for this camper. Will stop here again. - BillHan1959

We welcomed the "adventure". We felt the location warranted the discomfort. We are generally comfortable staying at Walmarts, casinos and truck stops as necessary. In attempting to use the online system to purchase "tickets" (one ticket for each 24 hour period), we had tech problems. Customer Service was responsive, resolved the situation, issued our tickets and refunded a duplicate charge to our credit card. So far, so good. The day before we were to check-in, we drove to the lot in our toad to check for low bridges and preview the layout. The lot attendant told us the lot was closed and that, if we showed up the next day, we would be turned way regardless of our protest that we had prepaid tickets. He suggested we call his mgr. We did and never received a return call. We decided not to go. We did not want to be stuck in downtown Chicago with a 40' rig plus toad. We contacted Customer Service and were granted a full refund. I suspect the "closed lot" tied into the the fact that there was a Bears Monday Night Football game two days out (not that makes it ok). Bottom line - this is not an RV park and doesn't act like one. We would be willing to try it again one day but would have a contingency plan. - GottaGoNow

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

This is not a campground. This is a transient facility for tradesmen, i.e. pipeline workers, carnies, etc.
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 PlumberView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Martin Camper Park » Apr 2016 - $42.00
This park has very unlevel, very close, sunny/open grass only sites. Very rude people as well as workers living there. Not worth the time or money to put up with drunks throwing things. Very scared! It was better to leave. - Sheilagramm

We stayed here from April 26 to May 1, 2017. It rained entire time here. The power pedestal failed to work. We called the RV Park office (which is the casino hotel), and they dispatched a couple of guys who normally work the casino. They tested the pedestal and said it worked fine. We complained the next day, and someone else admitted that several of the pedestals were out and that they were working on them. We finally got power from the 50 amp outlet, but it wasn't full 50 amps, it was far less, and not enough to power our microwave. Aside from a dedicated restroom and laundry room, this RV Park offers little else. You can get much more for your money from a KOA, and still pay the same amount. This RV Park did offer complimentary hot breakfast as part of the Hotel service. This RV Park does not have its own dedicated staff, it instead is administered by the Hotel staff, who is not trained or prepared in the business of running an RV Park. - RoadPickle

We have often stayed here the last night before returning home from a trip south. For a variety of reasons, we are staying here on our first night headed south. There are no at site sewers but there is a dump behind the casino hotel. The sites have W&E and are mostly back in, but about 15 are pull through. There is no cable TV, but most sites appear to be satellite friendly. Once again, I was not happy with the condition of the bathrooms. This happens when casinos manage their RV parks as if they are second class accommodations. Since the RV park office is still not manned, it looks like the bathrooms had not been cleaned since the weekend. The WI-FI was unreliable. The sites are OK, but the facilities are substandard and there are no real amenities. You are paying too much for too little. I stayed here in an RV spot - thus, I did not camp here. - Jerry S

Casino RV park. Wide and long spaces lots of grass for dogs. Laundry room with washers and dryers. No sewer connection. Dump station by the rear of the hotel with easy access on exit. A nice park for a day or two but inconvenient without sewer connection. - Pete M.

Even though it's a membership park we checked with them and they will rent to non-members if you call ahead and they have sites. We asked for and received a pull-through for the one night. Site 105 was provided and wow, the chalky road dust from other vehicles going back and forth was enough to turn our truck and RV from the original color to white. Anyone know a good RV wash? - Mr. Camper

We also stayed here at the end of last year's fall trip in late October. See my 10/15 review for a fuller description of the sites, facilities, and amenities. This is definitely a week or weekend get-a-way for locals during the season. Many sites are taken for the entire season. At this time of year, you press a "call button" at the gate, they respond, open the gate, and meet you at the office. The office is not staffed except when someone needs something. This year we had a back in site at the far end of the lake. Since there is no cable TV, we had requested a satellite friendly site and this site did appear to have a clear view to the south. I decided to scan for local antenna channels and was able to get over 40 Chicago area stations. I settled for using just the antenna. If you are concerned about no cable and lack of channel options, there are a lot here just with the antenna. The site had a grass/gravel entryway but the cement pad was just long enough for our wheelbase. I did need to do some leveling due to a forward to rear downward slope. Like last year, although there are still 100+ RVs in the park, less than half were occupied the night we were here. We had no problems with the Wi-Fi for our minimal ( e-mail and web surfing) needs, but that may be different in a fuller park. There are 2 bathhouses ) with a strange combination of different rooms - shower only, toilet and sink, or all three. There are also bathrooms in several other building in the park. There is a laundry (about 10 machines) in the bathhouse building closest to the entrance. The cost was only $1.50/$1.25 per machine. I saw no sign of recycling. We had little contact with the staff. I can't imagine being here in season, but, at this time of year, getting a FHU site in a nice park for just $35 is fine. - Jerry S

Big rig friendly with level sites. GPS could not find campground address so input a street close to campground and easy to find afterwards. Bathrooms and laundry were good. Great place to ride bicycles. Lake for swimming and boating but swimming pool was under construction. No dog park but lots of grass to walk dog. - Fulltimersrv
