Enchanted Shores RV Park & Campground

5 ReviewsAdd Review

Right off US Route 45, Enchanted Shores RV Park & Campground sits on uneven terrain that challenges both drivers and RVs navigating the property. The roads throughout the campground lack level surfaces, creating bumpy access to sites that accommodate RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections.

Sites are arranged in close proximity, with many positioned back-to-back where neighboring RV doors face each other directly. The dirt sites feature sparse grass coverage between them. Water quality issues have been reported by multiple visitors, with some describing unpleasant odors from the water supply. The campground provides portable restrooms throughout the property rather than a traditional bathhouse, though full hookup sites allow self-contained RVs to operate independently.

Located approximately one hour from Chicago, the property serves as an overnight stop for travelers passing through the region. Brandy C. noted that "the owner and staff are very friendly and escort you to your spot after check in." The campground allows pets and maintains a section for long-term yearly residents alongside shorter-term sites.

Truck traffic from the nearby intersection creates consistent road noise throughout the night. For campers exploring the broader area, campgrounds around Manhattan provide additional options within the region. At $20-35 per night, this bare-bones operation functions primarily as a budget-friendly waystation for travelers needing basic hookups near major highways.

Guests frequently mentioned friendly, helpful hosts as a consistent highlight. However, several reviews noted concerns about site conditions, water quality, and road noise from truck traffic.

Never Again!

We booked here sight unseen due to temporary employment in the area.

What a terrible mistake.

The best thing was, that there is "full hook up" here???

This place is old and run-down to say the least, there's not a flat spot on any of the roads. The sites are dirt with something green in between. The stinkest water we've ever smelled, horrible!!! Our sewer connection was nearly buried. There is a laundry area, I don't know what it's like, I'd never wash our close in that nasty water, we found a Laundromat. The lots are verious sizes of tiny. Most sites you're back to back to your neighbor. Your door faces your other neighbor's door, it's like you shared a site. We asked for a picnic table and got one, but when we left for a week, when we returned it was gone! Despite the high rent, there's no internet or cable TV, basically no emenities. We were told there was planned activities, but we weren't there long enough to find out. There's a area for long-term, yearly sites. Several of the trailers in that area were old with beat up decks, some surrounded by junk.

We installed interior security cameras to keep an eye on our rig. Then stayed in a hotel until we changed our job location.

We can't image a worse location. I should be condemned.

We feel bad for those who are on the road and fall into this trap for a place to stay on the way, or close to Chicago.

SiteI don't remember.

Don’t Want a Pricey Chicago Hotel? Come Here!

$20. Yes, it’s an hour from the city, but I’d take the drive over the bill at a nearby hotel. There’s an outhouse and plenty of places to plug in the RV, and cars/tents are welcome too. If you’ve had an expensive, fun day in the city and can stay awake for the drive back out here, it’s a perfect place to crash.

Nothing fancy here, but friendly and professional.

This is a small, bare-bones operation, but it's safe and friendly; a great stop-over for passing through Chicagoland or Joliet. Level sites, full hook-ups. Not far from Chicagoland Speedway.

Located right on US45-US52. Lots of truck traffic stopping at the intersection makes lots of noise at night.

Very friendly staff

Upon arrival you are greeted by the owner and staff. They are very friendly and escort you to your spot after check in. Staff is super helpful and will lend a hand off anything is needed during your stay. The park is dog friendly. The campground is clean and quiet. There is no bath house, only port-a-potty's throughout the campground. But sites are full hookup so this isn't an issue is you are traveling in a TT. "Papa Don" is the owner, and is a very gracious host.
