Best Glamping near Chicago, IL

The Chicago area has several glamping spots for those who want comfort while still being outdoors. About 50 miles east, Dunewood Campground at Indiana Dunes National Park has better bathroom facilities than standard campgrounds, making it popular with glampers who still want a national park experience. Some private glamping operations near the dunes set up seasonal yurts and canvas tents with real beds and furniture. Camp Bullfrog Lake sits just 12 miles from downtown Chicago but feels much more remote, with some glamping units that include real mattresses instead of sleeping pads. Several restaurants are within a 10-minute drive, so you don't have to cook if you don't want to. Indiana Dunes State Park Campground, less than an hour from the city, has sites with electrical hookups where glampers can run heaters or air conditioning depending on the season. Hiking trails start right from the campground and lead to both forest areas and Lake Michigan beaches. The quiet setting helps people disconnect while still having basic comforts. Some of the private glamping businesses will stock your site with supplies before arrival if you arrange it ahead of time. Glamping near Chicago works well for people who want some nature time without roughing it. The sites range from slightly upgraded campgrounds to full-service glamping with all the amenities.
