Several RV parks operate near Lincolnshire, providing varied options for motorhome travelers. Camp Reinberg in Palatine offers five RV sites with electric hookups, two of which feature paved concrete pads while the remaining three have gravel surfaces. The Chicago Northwest KOA in Union accommodates big rigs with full hookup sites including water, electric, and sewer connections, operating seasonally from April through mid-October. NAVSTA Great Lakes RV Campground provides lakefront sites with electric hookups but requires military affiliation for access. Grass Lake Marina and RV Park in Antioch features electric hookups with weekly blackwater pump service directly at RV sites. "Very friendly staff and people. Great accommodations. Spots are ok size. Pretty level."
Advance reservations are highly recommended during summer months when Chicago-area campgrounds fill quickly with weekend travelers. At Camp Reinberg, a security gate closes at 10pm each night, providing added security for RVs left at campsites while exploring nearby attractions. Most parks offer electric hookups, but water access varies significantly - Chicago Northwest KOA provides full hookups while Camp Reinberg requires staff to bring a long hose to sites for water fills. Dump stations are available at several locations, though their placement sometimes requires significant detours, as noted at NAVSTA Great Lakes where "the dump station was about a mile down the road." Parks typically welcome pets, though rules vary regarding containment and waste removal. For big rig owners, site selection requires careful consideration as some parks have limited turning radius and tree clearance for larger motorhomes.

Beth O.ScoutBlackwell Family Campground
Great Stay
Blackwell has clean bathrooms, offers hiking trails, boating (kayak rentals) or bring your own, fishing, archery, cycling. The gate locks at 7pm but you just call the night guard and he will let you in. They’re only open on Friday, Saturday and holidays. Would definitely stay again. Be aware Winfield Road has a lot of traffic so sites further away from that road are best. Heard coyotes about 3 am both mornings. Rangers were exceptional.

A lot to do.
There’s a lot of things to do out here. We did some hiking with our boy. The site we were at was maintained. It’s a nice place to go camping.

LegendHoneysuckle Hollow — Chain O' Lakes State Park
Lively Little Campground Beside Turner Lake
There’s something wonderfully EZ about camping where the kids can wander down toward the water and suddenly the whole weekend seems to slow down ... and that’s the entire charm of Honeysuckle Hollow. Here at Chain O’Lakes State Park, Honeysuckle Hollow is the largest and most wide open of the park’s camping areas, with electric sites geared particularly well toward RV families, although the tradeoff is noticeably less shade and almost zero privacy between nearly every campsite, compared with neighboring Fox Den, which offers up much more seclusion and shade. The greatest asset here is undoubtedly the direct access to Turner Lake (although you could also have direct access over at Turner Lake South), giving families an EZ place to fish, paddle or simply explore the shoreline, while electric hookups, picnic tables, grills and a nearby restroom/shower building keep the actual camping comfortably simple. We especially loved those unhurried moments when the boys could wander toward the lake while dinner was getting started and everyone seemed perfectly happy just being outside together. The shower facility here is convenient, although we found it just slightly more dilapidated conditions than the bathhouse located closer to Fox Den. From what we saw, I’d choose one of the better-spaced sites toward the Turner Lake side of the campground, where EZ water access helps compensate for Honeysuckle’s limited privacy. I’d recommend Honeysuckle for families who value electricity, lake access and a lively campground atmosphere, particularly if having Turner Lake practically in your backyard matters more than having your neighbors hidden behind the trees. One point to note is that the pier was in an advanced state of disrepair and so we were not able to fully maximize this particular amenity - so if accessing Turner Lake is important to you and your family, we would recommend calling ahead to verify the condition of the pier.

Cross country travelers
Last minute online reservation...They only have. 4 or 5 RV sites...full hook ups...about $60+-...right near gas pumps but any noise did not bother us weary travelers...Only downside was showers were not included....For the price certainly an included shower should be part of the deal...easy check in and check out.,..We used the Love's site due to its location to visit family and the fact that electric was available...We have medical equipment that requires a recharge at night plus it's just nice to have the AC if needed.

Adeline Jay-Geo Karis Illinois Beach State Park
Simple and local
Simple campsite. We should have brought some leveling blocks, But otherwise my wife and I enjoyed the site for our rental RV. Short 10 minute walk to Lake Michigan. The camp store is fairly robust with friendly people working there. I appreciate that there are 2 lanes for dump/fill stations. My wife and I would absolutely stay here again.

Simply Lovely
We had a truly enjoyable stay and would’ve stayed an extra day if our travel schedule would’ve allowed. David was a wonderful host. Greeted us with a smile and escorted us to our site. We had our choice of 2 spots, both lovely. Picnic table and plenty of FREE firewood to keep us cozy. Wild turkeys roamed the grounds as well as the friendly ducks. All in all, a very peaceful evening and a special place.

Thousand Trails Pine Country
A Nice, Quiet RV Park
Stayed with Thousand Trails. It's mostly an annual park, but they've got about 20 TT sites. They've got a clean pool, good size. And a clubhouse that's open til 9pm. Laundry & trash dumpsters nearby. Full hook ups. We enjoyed our stay.

Sunset Campground — Richard Bong State Recreation Area
Amazing place
It’s a lot bigger than I expected it to be. Our site is great the bathrooms are well maintained. There’s plenty of things to do here. Getting wood is great and easy the only downside is paying $8 a bundle. Otherwise great campgrounds. Would definitely come back.
Guide to Lincolnshire
Many RV campgrounds near Lincolnshire, Illinois sit within the Fox River watershed, where elevations range between 650-750 feet above sea level. The area experiences four distinct seasons, with summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F during peak camping season. RV sites throughout the region vary significantly in size and hookup availability, with most requiring advance reservations during the May-September period.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Sycamore RV Resort, anglers can enjoy two lakes stocked for catch-and-release fishing. "Beautiful spot, very peaceful. We've been here for 3 months. There are two lakes, catch and release fishing. A small beach with a snack shack. Well run and maintained."
Hiking trails: Camp Reinberg provides direct access to the extensive Deer Grove Forest Preserve trail network. "The trails through the grounds are varied and long--you can find something to suit just about any preference for suburban midwest hiking. There are plenty of paved trails as well as dirt, lots of fun little off-shoots into the woods, creeks run throughout."
Swimming: Lehmans Lakeside RV Resort features a lake with a dedicated beach area open during summer months. "They have a huge lake with paved paths that we were able to walk the first night (not raining) and the beach looks like it will be fun to enjoy in the summer."
What campers like
Accessibility to Chicago: Chicago Northwest KOA offers a convenient base camp for Chicago-area exploration. "Far enough from the city lights, close enough to civilization. Cozy, small park with friendly staff and plenty of amenities. You can walk from one side to other no problem."
Clean facilities: Campers consistently praise the maintenance standards at area campgrounds. At Camp Reinberg, visitors note: "Seriously the cleanest I've ever seen, even the ceilings were cleaned!" Similarly, a Sycamore RV Resort camper reported: "Bathrooms are immaculate and are locked with electronic key cards."
Wildlife viewing: Grass Lake Marina and RV Park provides opportunities for eagle watching. "This is a no frills campground with super nice people and great place to let the pups run, play, swim, and walk. The bald eagles nests are also amazing."
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Summer weekends fill quickly at most Lincolnshire-area RV parks, often months in advance. At Thousand Trails Pine Country, which operates seasonally from April to mid-October, "We were offered a special daily rate to try out the campground. They are traditionally a membership campground."
Water access varies: While electric hookups are standard at most area campgrounds, water connections differ significantly. At Sycamore RV Resort, "Reliable full hookups. Very clean and well cared for property; especially the laundry and bathroom/shower areas."
Train noise considerations: At some campgrounds, nearby train tracks can impact the camping experience. One Northwoods RV Resort camper advises: "You will want to take note that yes, you actually cross train tracks to get to this campground, so if you're sharp, you're going to want to ensure you haven't booked a site right next to where trains will shoot through every few hours."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Chicago Northwest KOA offers extensive children's programming. "Plenty for the little kids to do, and the text message communication was great with regards to weather updates or any goings on around the campground."
Swimming options: Many rv campgrounds near Lincolnshire, Illinois feature swimming facilities with varying amenities. At Lehmans Lakeside RV Resort, "They have a huge lake with paved paths that we were able to walk the first night (not raining) and the beach looks like it will be fun to enjoy in the summer."
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. At Northwoods RV Resort, "The parks are great. But it's definitely a more lay back and relax kind of place. Not a ton of stuff to do for kids."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Prepare for varied site conditions across Lincolnshire-area campgrounds. At Chicago Northwest KOA, one camper noted: "Site was not level but it had a lot of shade which was nice."
Security considerations: Many RV parks in the region implement security measures. Camp Reinberg provides "a gate that is closed at 10pm every night and opened again in the morning. The campground is centrally located to the major roads (Quentin/NW Hwy)."
Dump station locations: Plan for waste disposal logistics at rv campgrounds near Lincolnshire, Illinois. Several parks offer on-site dump stations, while others provide scheduled service. At Grass Lake Marina and RV Park, campers receive "black water dump once or twice a week at your RV's site."
