Campgrounds near Burbank, Illinois
Burbank sits on the southwest edge of Chicago in Cook County, with quick access to I-294, I-55, and I-57. That position makes it easy for RV travelers to skip most downtown traffic and head toward open road. Because Burbank itself is a dense suburb, most RV camping is found in the surrounding suburbs and the broader Chicago to Joliet corridor rather than within the city limits.
Close-in private parks include Pingala RV Resort and Martin Campground, both within easy reach of Burbank for shorter stays and overnight stops. Emerald Trails Campground, Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds, and Enchanted Shores sit a little farther out and tend to suit travelers who want a longer-stay base with more space, water features, or event-tied camping near Joliet. The wider region sits at roughly 620 feet of elevation and runs through four distinct seasons, with summer highs in the low 80s F and winter lows in the teens to low 20s F, which shapes both how parks operate and when they fill up.
Things to do near Burbank
Most RV trips based near Burbank mix city days in Chicago with outdoor time in the surrounding forest preserves and state lands. The Forest Preserves of Cook County maintain extensive trail networks, fishing lakes, and picnic groves within a short drive, and several preserves connect to paved bike paths suitable for kids. Illinois state parks within day-trip range offer hiking, paddling, and river fishing, and Cook County Forest Preserve sites give a closer-in nature option. Families staying at Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds can combine race-weekend events with lake activities on site, while Enchanted Shores and Emerald Trails Campground lean toward swimming, fishing, and low-key family weekends away from the city.

The Chicago area runs through four full seasons, and the camping calendar follows them closely. Late spring through early fall is the core RV season. May and June bring leaf-out, longer days, and busy weekends; July and August are the warmest months and the most heavily booked, especially around the Fourth of July and Labor Day. September and early October often deliver the most comfortable conditions: warm afternoons, cool nights, fewer bugs, and easier reservations.
Winter is cold and snowy. Average winter lows sit in the teens to low 20s F for the area, and while some regional RV parks remain operational through the cold months, services are reduced. Expect winterized restrooms, limited water at sites, and many seasonal parks closed entirely between late October and April. Shoulder-season travelers should call ahead to confirm hookups, dump stations, and gate hours before arriving.

How to book a campground near Burbank
Reservation rules vary by operator. Illinois state parks take reservations through the ExploreMoreIL system up to six months in advance, and prime riverside sites at popular parks can book out within hours of release. Cook County Forest Preserve campsites are booked through the Forest Preserves of Cook County reservation portal and also fill quickly for summer weekends. Private parks generally take bookings year-round and book directly through the operator. Pingala RV Resort, Martin Campground, Emerald Trails Campground, Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds, and Enchanted Shores all reserve by phone or through the operator website rather than a public portal. If a first-choice site is full, it helps to set up cancellation alerts on the reservation system or check midweek mornings, a common time for releases.
What to expect
Camping near Burbank is suburban camping. Expect flat ground, mature trees in some parks and open turf in others, and road or rail noise at sites near major corridors. Hookup quality varies: close-in private parks like Pingala RV Resort and Martin Campground are oriented to RV travelers with electric and water service, while parks farther out toward Joliet, including Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds, often have more space for bigger rigs. Cell coverage is strong across the metro area. Big-rig drivers should plan routes carefully: avoid posted low-clearance routes through downtown Chicago such as Lower Wacker Drive and viaducts on Lake Shore Drive, and expect heavy rush-hour traffic on I-294 around Cicero Avenue and 95th Street.

Travel trailers typically start around $80 to $135 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $150 to $250, and luxury Class A coaches can run $250 to $400 per night.

choosechicago.com/plan-your-trip/Do I need a special driver's license to rent an RV in Burbank, IL?
Good news: for nearly every RV on the RVezy platform, your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Burbank. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking. Illinois has weight-based license classes for residents driving very large motorhomes, but the vast majority of campervans, travel trailers, and Class C motorhomes on RVezy fall well under those thresholds. Visiting from another state or country? Your home license is recognized in Illinois. Bring an International Driving Permit if your license is not in English, and you are road-trip-ready.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection and roadside assistance is included with my Burbank RV rental?
Every RV rental in Burbank, IL booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can focus on the trip ahead. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV up to the limits of the plan you select at checkout, with multiple coverage tiers available so you can match your comfort level and budget. Roadside assistance is included with every protection plan and covers help for flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing, available anywhere in the Chicago area or on the road. That built-in safety net is one reason first-time renters feel confident booking an RV rental in Burbank through RVezy.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Burbank RV trip?
Plans change, and RVezy keeps booking your Burbank RV trip low-risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy across the platform (hosts do not set their own), and the policy is the same for every booking. Refund amounts depend on how far ahead of pickup you cancel, and the full policy details are available in the RVezy Help Center and in your booking confirmation. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy will help you rebook or provide a refund. Book early to lock in the best summer rigs for your Burbank RV trip, knowing the cancellation policy is consistent and transparent.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Burbank, IL RV rental?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Burbank is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search and you'll see hosts who welcome four-legged co-pilots (many ask for a small cleaning fee or pet deposit, clearly listed). Once you're loaded up, head to nearby off-leash spots like the Forest Preserves of Cook County's Bremen Grove Dog Friendly Area or the leash-friendly trails at Wolf Road Prairie. State parks like Starved Rock and Kankakee River State Park allow leashed dogs on most trails. Pro tip: pack a collapsible water bowl, your dog's vaccination records, and a familiar blanket so they settle into the RV quickly.
fpdcc.com/things-to-do/activities/with-dogs/Can the RV be delivered to me in Burbank or to a nearby campground?
Yes, RV delivery in Burbank is one of the best options for first-timers and anyone who would rather skip Chicagoland traffic on pickup day. Many RVezy hosts will deliver and set up the motorhome or travel trailer at your home, a nearby campground like Camp Bullfrog Lake in Willow Springs, or a state park site such as Kankakee River State Park. They will level the rig, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system so you are not guessing. Use the Delivery filter when searching to see hosts who offer it, and check the listing for per-mile delivery fees. It is a great option for a stress-free RV trip from Burbank.
dnr.illinois.gov/parks/park.kankakeeriver.htmlHow does mileage work and how far can I travel from Burbank?
Mileage on your Burbank RV rental is set by the host, and you'll see the daily allowance (often 100 to 150 miles per day) plus the per-mile overage fee right on each listing. Some hosts even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for a longer Midwest loop. From Burbank, you're 35 minutes to downtown Chicago, about 2 hours to Starved Rock State Park, 2.5 hours to Indiana Dunes National Park, 3.5 hours to Galena's rolling hills, and roughly 5 hours to the Wisconsin Dells. Pro tip: estimate your total miles before booking and message the host to ask about a custom mileage package if you're planning a longer route.
nps.gov/indu/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Burbank, IL?
You have great options for RV camping near Burbank, all within an easy drive. Windy City Campground in Lemont (about 20 minutes away) offers full hookups, a sandy beach, and a swimming lake. Camp Bullfrog Lake in Willow Springs sits inside the Forest Preserves of Cook County with electric sites about 20 minutes from Burbank. Hollywood Casino RV Park at Heartland in Joliet (about 35 minutes) has 50-amp pull-throughs and entertainment next door. For a true escape, Kankakee River State Park Campground (about 1 hour south) puts you along the river on thousands of wooded acres. Book Forest Preserve sites early in spring; summer weekends fill up fast.
fpdcc.com/places/campgrounds/When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Burbank?
Late May through early October is prime season for a Burbank RV trip, with summer highs in the 75 to 85°F range and warm evenings perfect for campfires. June and September are sweet spots: comfortable temperatures, fewer mosquitoes, and lower campground prices than peak July and August. Fall (late September to mid-October) delivers stunning foliage in the Illinois River valley and Starved Rock area. Spring is gorgeous but can bring thunderstorms, so pack rain gear. Winter RVing is doable with the right cold-weather rig, and some hosts list four-season RVs. Pro tip: aim for the Chicago Air & Water Show weekend in August if you want a wow-factor day trip into the city.
weather.gov/lot/I've never rented an RV before. Will I get help figuring it out?
You are going to be totally fine, first time renting an RV is easier than people expect on RVezy. Every host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup or delivery, covering the generator, slide-outs, water tanks, propane, awning, and dump procedure. Many also share a video or PDF cheat sheet you can review on the road. You can message your host directly through the RVezy app any time during your trip with questions, and RVezy support is available too. Class C motorhomes and travel trailers are the most beginner-friendly picks around Burbank. Pro tip: schedule pickup earlier in the day so you have plenty of daylight to settle in at your first campground.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
Take a breath, because every Burbank RV rental on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan. If you get a flat on I-294, a dead battery at a campground, run out of fuel, or lock yourself out, one phone call dispatches help to your location. Your host is also just a message away for quick troubleshooting, since it is often something simple like a tripped GFCI outlet or a closed propane valve. RVezy customer support is reachable before, during, and after your trip too. Pro tip: snap a photo of your VIN and rig info before you leave the driveway so the details are at your fingertips if you need them.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Burbank RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, most RV rentals from Burbank are cleared for interstate travel, which opens up an incredible RV road trip from Burbank in any direction. Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and Missouri are all within a day's drive, and the protection package covers you across state lines. If you'd like to head into Canada, message the host before booking, as not every owner allows cross-border travel and insurance coverage needs to be confirmed. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Popular cross-state routes include Burbank to Door County, Wisconsin (5 hours) and Burbank to Mackinaw City, Michigan (6.5 hours). Confirm your route with your host and you're good to roll.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect, and how do I budget for gas?
Fuel is the biggest variable in any motorhome rental Burbank budget, so it pays to plan. Class B campervans get 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 MPG, and Class A coaches run 6 to 10 MPG. Travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle but expect a 25 to 30 percent drop from its usual MPG. Illinois gas prices typically run higher than neighboring states (Chicago-area regular often sits around $3.60 to $4.20 per gallon), so consider topping up in Indiana or just outside Cook County to save. Pro tip: use GasBuddy and fuel up at Costco or Sam's Club in Bedford Park, just minutes from Burbank, for the best local prices.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Burbank?
Lock in campgrounds as soon as your Burbank RV trip dates are set, especially for summer weekends. Illinois State Parks like Starved Rock, Channahon, and Kankakee River take reservations through the Camp Illinois reservation system up to six months in advance, and prime riverside sites at Kankakee River State Park can book out within hours of release. Cook County Forest Preserve sites at Camp Bullfrog Lake also fill quickly through the Forest Preserves of Cook County reservation portal. Private parks like Windy City Campground take bookings year-round. Pro tip: if your first-choice site is full, set up alerts on the reservation system or check Tuesday mornings, a common day for cancellations to release.
camp.exploremoreil.com/What's it like driving an RV around Burbank and the Chicago area?
With a little planning, driving an RV around Burbank is totally manageable, even for first-timers. Burbank sits at the southwest edge of Chicago with easy access to I-294, I-55, and I-57, meaning you can skip most downtown traffic and head straight to open road. Avoid lower-clearance routes like Lower Wacker Drive and parts of Lake Shore Drive (some bridges are under 13 feet). Rush hour on I-294 around Cicero and 95th Street can crawl, so aim to roll out before 7 AM or after 10 AM. Watch for Illinois tollways (I-PASS or pay-by-plate works in your rental). Pro tip: choose RV delivery to your first campground if city driving feels intimidating.
illinoistollway.com/travelers/i-passWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Burbank?
Campgrounds around Burbank cover the full spectrum, so you can match amenities to your style. Private parks like Windy City Campground and Hollywood Casino RV Park at Heartland typically offer full hookups (30 and 50-amp electric, water, sewer), Wi-Fi, hot showers, laundry, and dump stations. Forest Preserves of Cook County sites at Camp Bullfrog Lake provide electric and water, with a dump station on-site. State park campgrounds like Kankakee River have electric sites, potable water fills, and centralized dump stations. Many also offer playgrounds, fishing, and trails. Pro tip: top off your fresh water tank before leaving and dump your grey and black tanks on the way out so you are road-trip-ready for the next stop.
dnr.illinois.gov/parks.htmlWhat's typically included inside an RV rental in Burbank?
Burbank RV rentals come ready for adventure. Expect comfortable beds (queen or king in the back, plus convertible dinettes and bunks in larger rigs), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, and a bathroom with toilet and shower in most Class B, C, and A motorhomes and travel trailers. Air conditioning, furnace heat, dining table, and seatbelts for every passenger are standard. Many listings include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, camp chairs, and even a generator for off-grid power. Wi-Fi hotspots and bike racks are popular add-ons. Check the listing's amenity icons and message the host to confirm anything specific, like a coffee maker or pack-n-play.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/seat-beltsWhat add-ons and pickup options can I expect from Burbank hosts?
Burbank hosts on RVezy love to make trips turnkey. Popular add-ons include camping kitchen kits, linens and bedding packages, outdoor chairs and tables, generators, portable propane fire pits, bike racks, and even kayaks or e-bikes (prices vary by host and are listed clearly). Pickup is usually at the host's home in Burbank or a nearby suburb like Oak Lawn, Bridgeview, or Bedford Park, and delivery is often available to area campgrounds or Midway International Airport for fly-and-drive trips. Mileage policies range from 100 miles per day to unlimited, so pick the rig that fits your route. Pro tip: bundle add-ons during booking to save versus adding them last-minute.
flychicago.com/midway/home/pages/default.aspxHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Burbank, IL?
Payment is simple and secure on RVezy, with no cash handoffs at pickup. You pay for your booking through the platform, and funds are released to the host after your trip. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment and is pre-authorized on your card before pickup, then released after return assuming no damage or excess cleaning. Deposit amounts vary by listing and are shown clearly before you book. To avoid any deposit issues, do a thorough walk-around with the host at pickup, take date-stamped photos, and return the RV with the same fuel level and a tidy interior for a smooth end to your Burbank RV trip.
