Campgrounds near Frankfort, Illinois
Frankfort sits in Will County, southwest of Chicago, and serves as a practical base for RV travelers exploring the metro region and the Kankakee River valley. The village has no campground within its own limits, but several RV-friendly parks are within a short drive along I-80 and Route 30, ranging from small private grounds to a state park roughly 30 miles south.
Closest options include Enchanted Shores and Martin Campground, both small private grounds handling weekend and seasonal RV traffic. Larger destinations sit in nearby Joliet: Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Resort is a 100-room hotel with an 80-spot RV park, offering complimentary hot breakfast, WiFi, and a shuttle to the casino, and Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds is one of the camping areas at the racetrack complex.
For a state-park stay, Kankakee River State Park sits along an 11-mile stretch of the Kankakee River and covers roughly 4,000 acres. Its Potowatomi - Kankakee River State Park loop is the main RV-accessible campground and the most established public option in the region.
Things to do near Frankfort
Frankfort itself offers a walkable historic downtown, the Old Plank Road Trail for biking, and access to Will County forest preserves for day hikes. Many travelers use the town as a quiet overnight before heading into Chicago, Joliet, or the Kankakee River corridor.
At Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds, race weekends bring tailgating, group gathering areas, and on-site event activity. Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Resort adds gaming, dining, and a shuttle to the casino for adult travelers.
At Potowatomi - Kankakee River State Park, guests can pick up a crushed gravel bike path from the Osage loop for hiking and biking, plus fishing, paddling, and river-cliff scenery along Rock Creek and the Kankakee River.

The Frankfort area follows a typical northern-Illinois pattern: cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers. Most private and public campgrounds in the region operate seasonally. Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Resort runs from April 1 through October 31, and Potowatomi - Kankakee River State Park is generally open through the warm season, with reservations available up to six months in advance through the ExploreMoreIL system.
Late spring and early summer bring the heaviest rainfall of the year, which can leave grass sites soft. Peak family travel runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with July and August drawing the highest demand. Race weekends at Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds concentrate demand at the track and can fill nearby private grounds well in advance.
Early fall is often the most comfortable window for touring: cooler nights, lower humidity, and thinner crowds. By late October most area campgrounds close for the season, and winter RV options in the immediate Frankfort area are limited.

How to book RV sites near Frankfort
Public sites at Potowatomi - Kankakee River State Park are handled through the state reservation system at ExploreMoreIL, with a booking window of up to six months in advance and a minimum of three days ahead. Walk-up camping remains the option for last-minute arrivals, subject to availability. Booking six months out is standard for popular summer weekends.
Private grounds such as Enchanted Shores, Martin Campground, and Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Resort take direct reservations by phone or through their own websites. Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds sells camping tied to event weekends; booking opens when race tickets go on sale, and popular NASCAR dates sell out quickly.
What to expect on site
Expect a mix of full-service private RV parks and simpler public sites. At Potowatomi - Kankakee River State Park, sites are Class A with electric hookups, a picnic table, and a fire grill, with hot showers and a dump station available in the campground. The loop sits in a wooded setting with 110 sites across four loops.
At Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Resort, the RV park offers electric and water hookups with a dump station on site rather than at each pad, plus shower and laundry facilities. Campfires are not allowed on the property.
Expect quiet-hours enforcement at both public and private grounds and typical Midwest bugs, ticks, and mosquitoes in summer. Bring leveling blocks: many older private sites are grass or gravel.

Yes, every RV rental in Frankfort, IL booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Interstate 80 with peace of mind. You choose your level of coverage at checkout (not the host), so you can match the plan to your comfort level and budget.

Paired with included roadside support, your only job is enjoying the campfire at places like Des Plaines Conservation Area.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Frankfort RV trip plans change?
Booking is low risk: RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not the host), and every booking includes a money-back grace period right after you confirm so you can lock in your dates with confidence. Refund amounts after that depend on how far in advance you cancel, with added protections for circumstances outside your control. Because the policy is handled by RVezy rather than each individual listing, you get consistent treatment no matter which Frankfort, IL host you book with. Book early to claim the best summer rigs, knowing you have flexibility if plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Frankfort, IL?

Frankfort is dog-loving territory: the Old Plank Road Trail runs right through town with paved, leash-friendly pathway, and nearby Hickory Creek Preserve is managed by the Forest Preserve District of Will County. Many regional campgrounds, including Hollywood Casino RV Resort in Joliet and Kankakee River State Park, allow leashed pets. Message the host before booking to confirm any pet fees and bring vaccination records for campground check-in.
reconnectwithnature.org/Places-To-Go/Preserves/Hickory-Creek-PreserveCan the RV be delivered to my campground or home in Frankfort, IL?

Many local hosts will deliver the RV straight to your driveway, a Will County forest preserve campground, or a destination park like Kankakee River State Park, then set it up, level it, connect hookups, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy and enter your destination address. Delivery fees usually run by the mile from Frankfort, so closer drop-offs keep costs low. Perfect if you are first time renting an RV.

Late May through early October is the sweet spot, with June, July, and August delivering classic Midwest summer weather: highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s and warm evenings perfect for campfires. September is the local insider pick with 70-degree days, lower humidity, early fall foliage along the Old Plank Road Trail, and often better rates on RVezy. October brings crisp 60-degree days and harvest festivals at nearby farms. Winters in Frankfort are cold, with January highs near 30°F and snow, so most RV parks winterize their water from mid-October through April. Book your summer RV rental Illinois trip by March for the widest selection.
weather.gov/lot/I have never rented an RV before, will I be okay driving in the Frankfort area?
You are going to do great, and you are not alone.

To estimate your trip, divide total miles by your rig's mpg and multiply by the current local pump price. Check current prices using the EIA fuel data before you depart.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Frankfort, IL?

Secure your campground first, then book your RVezy rental, that way you can match the RV size to your specific site's length and hookup type.
