Yes!!! I want my children to experience Chicago pizza! I'm answering just for that.
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

I live here in the area and if I was terribly deperate I wouldn't stay in a Cook County Forest Preserve. They are havens for gangs and drugs. Unless they dramatically clean them up (which they won't do) and strictly police them ( which they can't because of budget constraints) they will remain exactly what they are. Nice places to look at, but you wouldn't want to live there.

McCormick Place has overnight parking for RV's, dry camp only.
It is in the bus parking lot, and you make reservations at
McCormick Place TruTicket
It looks like an industrial parking lot, but has 24hr security.
I have a convention there in August and am going to try it.

Try the southern ones. A lot of them arn't that way. and as they are talking they are planning on having police much of the time if for nothing else drinking. I go to busse woods to bike ride and lunch with no problems. Don't know were you go to see.

HANG ON to your check book.....They charged me $100.00 a night to stay during an event on that expensive blacktop withOUT hookups, and never saw one security cop for 4 days!
To the OP: I am from Chicago suburbs and I wouldn't camp inside a Cook County Forest Preserve if you paid me.
I have a problem with this post asking people from other states that have NO idea what these Preserves are all about falsely filling up the ballot box with this questionnaire as if they are from Illinois yet know nothing about the area. Forest Preserves in Chicago and the suburbs are NOT state parks. Opening up the Forest Preserves for camping would be disastrous AND it would take away the only place that people who live near them have to get off and out of the concrete jungle to enjoy some piece and quiet and green. The police do not have enough cops now to patrol all of them now, what makes you think they are going to take police off the streets and allocate them to the preserves once they allow overnight camping? Not going to be a happening any time soon.
Yes the Chicagoland area lacks CG's. It lacks CG's because there is no real estate available for one. There ARE several CG's just outside the downtown area.

Guy I am the OP. I read this in the news paper and they are saking for campers to answer the question. They did not just say campers from Chicago. If you went to see what it was you should see that cook county is thinking of making campgrounds in cook county. If you are on this forum much you have seen campers asking if their were places near chicago were they could camp. Object all you want but My purpose was to help the county and the campers If you don't want to camp here go somewere else. And that is up to all of us. right now there isn't many places to camp ing cook county and they are talking about correcting that. FYI, I enjoy the area but not the government and trying to make it better

I used to live in the Chicago area in my teens, I now live in Texas and would love to be able to visit the chicago area and have a place to park my coach and visit with family. Cook county will be awsome!
Did the survey hope it helps.
