Chicago Area

We dry camped at ZipDee awning's place for two nights while they replaced my drivers side awnings twice.

be sure to get you and the Mrs. a steak at Webers Big Grill!

I do not recall a campground in the area

While passing through a few years ago I stayed overnite in KOA Northwest, which is the one nearest to Chicago. I think the deciding factors were how tired I was and that they had pull through sites available. Fine by KOA standards, but nothing special. Here is the link. http://koa.com/campgrounds/chicago/

In May, 2010 we had business in Chicago and stayed at the Empress Casino Hotel & RV Park in Joliet.

I believe the name has since been changed to Hollywood Hotel.

It's nothing fancy but is close to the interstate, has a security patrol, concrete level pads (a bit narrow) and is located away from the casino night life.

As you enter the grounds watch for the small RV sign on your left.

We dry camped in the lay down yard of the McCormick Center. $20 a night and you can ride a bike to downtown.

Thanks all.
Roger, you reminded me I need work on my awning. Maybe nows the time.

Patrick,

You can park by us, but we are 2.5 hr from down town with no traffic.
Where in Chicago is your meeting ?

Our last trip that way we stayed at the Empress Casino. It is nice enough, but not close in. About 45 minute hike to downtown with no traffic. If I was just dropping in for a couple of days I would try Jerry's suggestion of the McCormick Center and just drycamp. Chicago is a tough place to find something close in.............I also liked the idea of ZipDee. May be a good option. Good luck. Hope to see you at the Fat Beagle.
