Best RV Parks & Resorts near Gurnee, IL

Several RV parks surround Gurnee, Illinois, providing year-round options for motorhome travelers. Northwoods RV Resort in Garden Prairie offers 278 spacious sites with full hookups including 30/50 amp service, making it big-rig friendly with freshly laid gravel pads. Lehmans Lakeside RV Resort in Marengo features full hookup sites with 50 amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections, accommodating larger RVs with pull-through access. NAVSTA Great Lakes RV Campground provides 50 amp hookups and sewer connections but lacks drinking water and sanitary dump stations. "The site was 60 ft, but the whole site was not concrete. We were there for one night, it rained and the whole site had puddles around it," noted one RV camper about the naval station's campground, highlighting the importance of checking pad materials before booking.

Seasonal availability varies across the region's RV campgrounds. While Northwoods and Lehmans operate year-round, Cliffside Park Campground in nearby Caledonia, Wisconsin is only open from April 15 to October 15. Most parks require reservations, especially during summer months when Chicago-area RV sites fill quickly. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, though Wisconsin State Fair RV Park visitors report variable WiFi quality. Pet-friendly policies are common at most locations, with designated dog areas at several parks. Dump stations can become congested during peak checkout times, with one Cliffside Park visitor reporting "the wait to use it was over an hour." For convenience, Love's RV Hookup in Hampshire offers just 4 sites but includes sanitary dump facilities and propane refill services for travelers needing quick overnight accommodations.
