One son and his family want to visit Six Flags of Chicago amusement park, they would like to camp if possible.

I have been looking for CG's or SP's located north of Chicago with no luck, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks so much,

Judy

Illinois state beach is right there in North Chicago.
It's a so so place, the town in it's in is not nice.

Actually there are some 'very' nice CG's just north of the stateline. Which would only take 10 minutes trip to 6 flags.

Happy Acres CG and Bong Rec State Park, are both a hop skip and jump to Great America.
These would be my pick to stay at.

Both are in Wisconsin, and can be found on line.

Happy Camping!

Try Chain o' Lakes State Park. It's probably 30 minutes or so from the park.

I would second Chain-o-Lakes. The park itself is nice, they upgraded facilities relatively recently and have nice showers/bathrooms, in a nice general area and as stated, probably no more than 30 minutes from "the flags". If you're interested, there is hiking in the park and fishing. In season, there are boat rentals (as in canoe/rowboat). That may not happen until after Memorial Day. It's a State Park and given it's proximity to Chicago, really nice....
