Wheres the best place near Chicago to go camping?




incognitiv


Not starved rock, and nowhere that's going to be super-expensive. Also I like hiking trails, river or lake, and hopefully a little elevation/rocks/cliffs something, not just in the woods.


Answer
Below are 4 campgrounds within Illinois. They are between 90 min and about 3 hrs from Chgo. and listed from the closest to the farthest.

Miles of hiking and swimming in Lake Michigan are next to your campsite. Find out below:

Forest trails and moss covered cliffs are near campsites below:

5 trails wind through limestone and dolamite formations along the Apple River where you can catch your dinner:

More strenuous trails and climbing will await you here. Outstanding views of the Mississippi River and fishing below:

We're going to Chicago at the end of the month, and still trying to find a good campground. Like one with a pool, and lots of things to do. Maybe even a place that has a DJ a few nights.

If you know a good place, please let me know.

Also, anyone that has been to Hi-Tide Campground, did you like it? We're considering it, but we're still undecided. Thank you! x.



Answer
Can you find something on this list? There at two places on Lake Michigan, Illinois Beach State Park and Indiana Dunes State Park and each campground has a commuter train station about 1.5 miles away from which you can catch a train to downtown Chicago. Metra train from Zion Station for Illinois Beach SP and South Shore Line from Dune Park Station for Indiana Dunes SP. Since they are state parks they won't have all the amenities you want, but being that close to the lake is nice. They might also be booked.
