Quick Overview

Worth is a small village in the southwestern suburbs of Chicago in Cook County, located along IL-43 (Harlem Avenue) about 18 miles southwest of the Loop. With several motorhome campgrounds and parks in the area, including some free options, Worth sits in the densely populated inner south suburban ring where camping options are limited but urban access is excellent. The village is a working-class community along one of the busiest north-south arterials in the south suburbs, with Midway Airport just a few miles to the northeast and the Cal-Sag Channel industrial corridor to the south. While Worth itself is a compact residential community, the surrounding area includes some significant outdoor resources -- the Palos Forest Preserves and Swallow Cliff Woods are within a short drive to the west, offering over 14,000 acres of wooded trails, toboggan runs, and some of the best mountain biking terrain in the Chicago metro area. For RVers, campgrounds accessible from this area function as urban-adjacent bases for exploring Chicago's south side attractions, the Palos preserves, and the heritage corridor along the historic Illinois and Michigan Canal. The south suburban location also puts you closer to the Indiana Dunes and the Southeast Chicago industrial heritage sites than campgrounds on the north or west sides of the metro.
