Beyond a shadow of a doubt the fanciest campground I have ever stayed at. They have clean running water and clean, well-maintained facilities, plus when you check into a tent pad they give you a free small bundle of wood! Each additional bundle is $5 and is available from the office trailer before 10PM.
For the less outdoor-inclined, cabins are available for reservation and, in the event of a thunderstorm, tent campers are encouraged to seek shelter under the overhang on the porch.
Great for bikepacking and South Shore Line train users— it's a couple miles from the station and easy to get to. You'll still hear distant traffic and so it doesn't feel *too* remote, but still feels like getting out into nature.
Staff is wonderful, accommodating, and truly sweet. Camp Shabbona is excellent— highly recommended.
