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: 1 6 4 3 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The campsite is in poor condition, restrooms are filthy, poor directions for shower and dump station, the only good thing is a concrete slab with power. I will not stay at this camp site again and I would not recommend it to anybody. A nice view of the Lake. - Aaron1968
This is a lovely campground right on the shore of Lake Michigan but sorely neglected. Stuff posted on the bulletin board was over two years old. Website says they only have one 50-amp site; all 20 sites have 50 amp service. The place to get fresh water for your onboard tanks is a squeeze between a building and fence and overhead wires. The dump station also required some extra maneuvering to get into. The sites need are concrete but the road is gravel and there are water issues - there are several pallets around for campers to stand on when it rains and leaves big puddles. The hotel clerk where you check in was argumentative and gave very poor directions. On a positive note, the electric hookup worked fine and the wifi was good most of the time. MWR activities (ITT, movies, bowling, eateries, etc) are nice and close to the campground. Chicago was about a half hour away (an hour during rush hour). - Melodycthomas

Small campsites with no shade, but a GORGEOUS VIEW of Lake Michigan. The road through this campground is in DEPLORABLE condition. I KNOW it was in terrible shape over a year ago and it has only gotten worse. - KTown Santa

Rating: 4 5 8 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Planned this trip to visit family in the area. A majority of sites are permanent. The so-called overnight sites are very close and unlevel. I attempted to sit under my awning and the smell coming from the neighbor's sewer hookup (5' away) drove me back inside. We'll be staying at the state park nearby in the future. - laughing.crone
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

Rating: 8 8 6 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Very beautiful spot. Spacious sites. Water access. Good walking and biking trail along Lake Michigan. Good mix of tents and rv sites. We were a bit disappointed by the dilapidated abandoned-looking state of the water access trail and ancient abandoned concession stands on the lake with gang griffiti painted over, but other than that, this was a great place. We would come again. Bathrooms old but clean and functioning. Campground has lots of trees -- good place to hang a hammock. No water hookup or sewer hookup, but both available on campground. - Paul and Jeannette
Stayed 12 nights while attending numerous Chicago Art Fairs (expect terrible traffic and delays if going to downtown Chicago). Park is HUGE and well kept; has 2 large loops and a small "boutique" loop off to the right near the beach parking lot that has tons of shade and only a few spots. Beach was great. Our dogs loved the beach walk North. We had nice weather and variable temps, a few hot days and some cool. Our site was 303, mostly sunny but not hot, near the beach access and picnic area, only 100 feet to water/trash/small camp store (weekend only). Staff was good, only really had any close neighbors on the weekends and they were fine as well. All in all, a great base of ops for our Chicago trips. - Wilbur_W
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Illinois Beach State Park »I have mixed feelings about this park. It is very nice with trees, walking path etc. and easy beach access. On the other hand, there is little maintenance. The bathrooms need updating. No soap is provided in the bathrooms. The shower is a push button you get water at whatever temp until it times out. There are beach concession buildings and showers that according to a local have been abandoned and boarded up for decades. They did frequently empty the trash cans. Staff was friendly. There is no charge to enter the main park which is adjacent to the camping area. There is a HUGE public parking area for the beach which is next to the campground. We saw some undesirables in that lot the first few days which we reported to staff. After that we saw more police presence and no more questionable activity. You can't stay longer than two weeks so no permanent folks. No sewer so most are there for a couple of days by my observation. We were there two weeks so dumped once and conserved after that and dumped on our way out. We were there for Memorial Day weekend and while it was full it was not crazy and neither was the beach area. A host told us they just became a no alcohol park (there are signs up). We did not witness any alcohol incidents although no one is naive enough to think there was NO alcohol in the park. Roads are easy to navigate in our big rig. Most sites are level but some have a slope so if you are in a large RV scout them out first. Some have more shading than others and that affects satellite reception. Staff patrols frequently. Sites are very wide and deep. Plenty of overflow parking. Our power was a 30 amp plug, but a sticker on the box said not to exceed 24 amps. We blew the breaker several times even though we were not using the A/C or high amp things all at once. The 50A sites are either handicapped paved sites or the 50A area which is side by side in an open paved lot with limited shade. It is like being in a Walmart parking lot with a power pedestal. - RMD3819

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: 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: 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

Rating: 7 10 8 10 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We took advantage of a warm and sunny early spring day by heading out to Chain O Lakes. Only Honeysuckle Hollow is open at this time. It was wonderful for two reasons: 1. the weather, and 2. with no leaves on the trees, you could see the lake and the trumpeter swans on it. So early in the season, we did not have anyone on either side of us but I think the site would feel large enough even if we did have neighbors. Everyone was very, very nice, including the rangers, the camp host and the campers. Some rigs looked pretty settled in (and a little junky) but I'm sure the 14 day rule is enforced. Be aware of the "No Alcohol!" rule - it's hard to miss, I've never seen it posted so obviously and frequently. Probably a few too many people with the "Honey, hold my beer and watch this!" mentality. I'm guessing they are very strict about this at the height of the summer season. We would go back again to enjoy nice weather for a day or two but it is not what I could consider a destination campground. - janci
We stay at this park in the month of July when Country Thunder is in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin; nothing but good things to say about the park. Coming back again this year. Always stay in Fox Den, great sites nice and big, plus park is nice and quiet, and peaceful. - Ron Talamantes

Rating: 9 9 9 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stay at this campground every year. Elgin is our hometown & this campground is very convenient for visiting friends & family. Lots of shopping & restaurants nearby. The sites are large, some with shade, some open with lots of grass. It is 50 amp with water. No problem getting satellite & more than a dozen stations over the air with a digital antenna. No sewer but two dump stations are available. No showers but there are restrooms. No reservations, first come, first serve. It is quiet. There are trails to walk. We love it here. - Connie's Co-Owner
We stayed 3 nights in a back in with 50 amps. There is no cable, but we got 22 stations on our over-the-air antenna. Satellite reception in the newer section would be good, due to smaller trees. Some of the site water hookups are far, so have a long hose with a water filter if needed. The water hookups are shared by two campers. Site 83 was in the newer section, where the trees are not as mature as the older section, so sunny. There is a dump station. The park staff are very nice and helpful people. The grounds and restrooms are nice and clean. It is a first come first serve park; no reservations. The roads are well maintained, and you park your rv on asphalt. Grass is around your camp site, with a picnic table and fire pit. You cannot bring in firewood, and they sell firewood at a reasonable price. We rested here, as it is quiet. We camped here to be close to Big Timber Station to take the METRA train to Union Station in Chicago. It rained while we were there, and a lot of water accumulated in the grass, but did not come on to the asphalt pad for our 5th wheel and truck. Our site was level, but a few sites are unlevel. The earlier you enter the campground in the day, the better choice of camp sites. We liked this campground, and we would definitely return if in the area in the future! - Lindy White
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Burnidge Forest Preserve, Paul Wolff Campground »This park is a first come, first serve kind of park. Pull in, find a spot to your liking, go pay. No reservations are taken. We were in a pull-through in what seems to be a newer part of this park, and while it was asphalt, wasn't dead level, which seems to be the case with most of the spots here. Not a big deal. Power and water only, with 2 spots you can dump. 1 in the camping area, 1 just outside. Place was clean and well maintained. Firewood 5$ a bundle, and they deliver. The trees in this part were still fairly new, so majority of spots in this section were full sun. When they mature, this will be a must-stop location. It was windier than a mug when we were there. Also, there seemed to be a lot of ticks floatin' around, so be aware. Overall, really liked this park. Quiet, close to the Big City, great for star gazing! Will stay there again. - BillHan1959
