The Vaudeville Urban Farm Fun!

8 sites ¡ RVs, Tents1 acre ¡ Chicago, IL
Twenty years of growing this farm... Not what grows here but the farm itself! Stone and brick pulled from the ground till we found the beautiful earth beneath and built an incredible community around it. Or rather, it grew itself from the energy that surrounds it. It's a special spot where you may happen upon a fire in the sugar shack while we boil city collected sap into maple syrup or have an open jam night with world class jazz musicians. Enjoy the morning serenade of our rooster! Really, just come and be here. Though we think we're pretty cool, a few things to note that you may not think are so cool: There is a train that runs directly behind the farm. Light sleepers, may want to bring ear plugs. Bring your tent to The Vaudeville! (RVs, campers, trailers, vans please see the ** at the bottom). Our urban farm is smack in the middle of Chicago only a 10 minute bike or train ride from Downtown, Lake Michigan, The Mag Mile and all Chicago has to offer! Bike the Lake Shore Trail, walk the 606, kayak the Chicago River, catch a blues show or Hawks game or just relax with the goats and chickens in the 9,000 square foot farm that we absolutely love to share with fellow campers! ** We have stopped hosting RVs, campers/vans, pull behinds and larger vehicles because we are finding it difficult to get them in the entrance gate but if you feel amazingly capable with your backing in skills in your rig and you're super patient, laid back and extra cool, let us know and we may be able to make it work!! :)

Wine Trail Wilderness

11 sites ¡ RVs, Tents37 acres ¡ Pomona, IL
The Shawnee National Forest surrounds us, accessible only by wandering roads, passing over creeks and alongside wineries. The trip is worth the beautiful drive, eventually arriving at "The Villa". Our home looks like an Italian villa, appropriately placed between two wineries in the middle of the Shawnee Forest. It is actually a straw-bale home with supplemental solar energy. Originally built as a Holistic Healing Center, we have converted it into a comfortable home with great vibes. We have converted an old grain bin into a "GrainZebo" just outside our home as a fun place to hang out with friends and family. We hope you enjoy the same relaxed feel we get while living out here in the woods, when you come visit. We will be happy to help you feel at home out here. We love sharing the Shawnee experience.

RV camping in Illinois guide

Overview

Whether you’re escaping Chicago for a weekend getaway along the shores of Lake Michigan, hiking in the vast woodlands of the Shawnee National Forest, or kayaking and canoeing along the Kankakee and Kishwaukee rivers—RV campers have plenty to discover in Illinois. Variety is the name of the game in Illinois’ state parks. Park your rig by the beach at Illinois Beach State Park, hike to waterfalls and canyons in Starved Rock State Park, or camp and fish by the lake in Rock Cut State Park. Bringing your RV also means you can camp through all four seasons, and many RV campgrounds stay open year-round, with electric hookups so you can crank up the heating and fire pits for toasting some s’mores (officially the best way to stay warm). Enjoy hiking and leaf-peeping in the national forest through fall, then head to Mississippi Palisades State Park for cross-country skiing in winter.
