With several motorhome campgrounds and parks in the area, including some free options, Dixmoor offers a practical and affordable base for RVers who want access to the Chicago area without paying premium prices for closer-in campgrounds on the north side.

Explore the Dixmoor Area

For getting into Chicago, consider using the Metra Electric line from nearby Harvey station rather than driving your tow vehicle downtown and dealing with expensive parking. Chicago's Museum Campus -- including the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium -- is an outstanding day trip that justifies the camping stop alone. The south suburbs have some great barbecue joints and soul food restaurants worth seeking out for a local dining experience you can't get anywhere else. If you need outdoor time, Sand Ridge Nature Center in South Holland offers nice walking paths through restored prairie and savanna habitats that feel surprisingly wild.
