Most travellers will start their Chicago RV rental journey with a trip around the city itself. Chicago is known worldwide for its city skyline, and there are many ways to sample the spectacle: take a cruise onboard Chicago's First Lady to see the architecture from below or look out from above in the 360 Chicago observatory.

If natural surroundings are more appealing to you, then you might enjoy the Garfield Park Conservatory's indoor gardens and outdoor landscaping. The Chicago Botanic Gardens are another lush destination where you can surround yourself with natural greenery — or autumnal browns and oranges, depending on when you arrive.

Chicago has something for all ages. Adults can enjoy the nightlife with destinations like the Green Mill — famous for being a favourite hangout of Al Capone — while any children in your campervan will love a trip to the Museum of Ice Cream. Families with RV rentals in Chicago will also appreciate educational destinations like Art Institute and the Field Museum.

This makes Chicago particularly suitable as a starting point for your road trip

When it comes to RV rental, Chicago offers two main choices in terms of destinations. One option is to take your campervan to the shore of Lake Michigan and enjoy the site and activities that come with lakeside camping. The MWR Navy Great Lakes Campground accepts motorhomes, and there are other places to park in the area.

Another option is to head away from the city into the surrounding countryside. A range of camping sites can be found in the area around Chicago, and some have the capacity for motorhome rentals. For example, the Emerald Trails Campground is a 45-minute drive from the city and offers 140 total RV and campsites, hiking, fishing and other activities.

Other potential destinations for Chicago RV rentals include Enchanted Shores RV Park and Campground, which has a range of family activities and access to golf courses, fishing spots, cinemas, bowling areas and more; and Jellystone Park, a family-oriented destination themed around Yogi Bear.

While Chicago is located a long way from central Illinois, it is a good destination for anyone taking part in a long-haul interstate journey as it is situated near the state borders of Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan. It is a particularly suitable portal to the wider Great Lakes region, with Lake Superior, Lake Huron and Lake Erie all hours away.

The main reason for most travellers to choose an RV rental in Chicago, of course, is so that they can explore the city itself. There will be more than enough sights and destinations in urban Chicago to please most visitors, but the wider countryside also has its share of unforgettable attractions.
