Welcome to Camp Sullivan, nestled near Oak Forest, IL. This spot is a solid choice if you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life without straying too far from Chicago. The campground offers a mix of tent, RV, cabin, and even glamping accommodations, so there's something for everyone.
One of the standout features here is the abundance of shade on the tent side, making it a comfortable spot to pitch your tent even on warmer days. The campground is big rig friendly, but be aware that some RV spots can be a bit tight. If you're in an RV, you’ll find electric hookups, but you'll need to fill your water tanks at the bathrooms since there’s no water hookup at the sites themselves.

For those who enjoy a bit of convenience, there’s a market on-site, and you can also find picnic tables and fire pits at most sites. The bathrooms and showers are generally clean, though some visitors have noted that maintenance can be hit or miss.
Overall, Camp Sullivan is a decent spot with a good location, especially if you’re looking to visit Chicago but still want to enjoy some greenery and solitude. Just be prepared for a few quirks, and you’ll have a great time.
