Martin’s Camping Ground

Do you own or manage this property?

Martin’s Camping Ground, near Joliet, Illinois, offers a straightforward camping experience with essential amenities for both tent and RV campers. The campground is known for its friendly staff and impressively clean bathrooms, making it a decent stop for those traveling along I-80.

While the sites are fairly close together, visitors appreciate the convenience of full hookups and access to drinking water. Some campers have mentioned the noise from the highway, but if you can tune it out, you’ll find a place that meets basic needs without too much fuss. As one camper noted, “The cleanest campground bathrooms I’ve ever seen” is a highlight worth mentioning.

For those who enjoy a bit of privacy, the campground can feel less crowded, especially if you’re one of the few tent campers. Just keep in mind there’s a three-day limit for tent camping, which might be a bummer for those wanting to settle in for longer.

If you’re looking to explore, you’re just a short drive from local attractions in Joliet, where you can find dining and entertainment options. Martin’s Camping Ground is a practical choice for a quick stop or a brief stay while you’re on the road.

Parking lot

Sites are very close. You can watch the traffic on the highway from your camper.No picnic table, no firing, bathroom and showers were clean. Thought it strange that you needed a combination to get in the bathroom.Seems like most people live there. With a few sites for People passing through. If you’re looking for a place to park for the night and take a shower this is all I would recommend this place for

Not bad

Sites are ok. Very close together. Traffic from I-80 is loud. Staff is very nice. Cleanest campground bathrooms I’ve ever seen.

Martins has very nice staff!

Traffic from I80 is extremely loud with semi's all night long. No wifi and very expensive for the quality of the site. $50.00 for full hook up for basically parking on grass next to the interstate.

Great place to camp but three day limit with tent.

If you like having access to a bathroom and shower its great and because no one really hd a tent here but us we had some privacy. It is next to a highway so be mindful of that. Its really not one with nature of you get my drift aha. But only down side beside that they have a three day limit for campers with tents. Very disappointed with that And its three days a month.

Dirty outdated bathrooms right on I-80

You can throw a stone and hit a semi driving by to I-80. There’s a lot of traffic given the proximity to Chicago. If you’re able to sleep with large trucks driving in the background, you’ll be fine. There are bathrooms and showers although the showers aren’t anything I would feel comfortable using. There are a lot of long-term campers who leave their sites a little messy.
