Best places to camp in Illinois?




Rafael


Alright so a group of friends and I want to go camping. This is our first time really going out and exploring so we have no idea where to begin looking. We really want to go hiking, fishing, swimming, etc. We're around the Chicago area.

I'm looking for a cheap place to camp in the Washington D.C area. I do have a vehicle so it can be up to about an hour drive away from D.C.

In Maryland, there is the C&O Canal park:

There is also the Greenbelt Park (NPS) which VERY close, you will need a reservation:

There is Prince William Forest, which is pretty close:

There are also probably private campgrounds in the area, too.
