Lombard camping overview
Lombard sits in DuPage County about 20 miles west of downtown Chicago, which shapes the local camping landscape. The village is close enough to the city to serve as a suburban base, and most developed campgrounds near Lombard operate seasonally, with many only open from May through September or October. RV travelers typically choose between privately run resorts within the suburban ring and forest preserve or state park campgrounds a bit farther out.
Private options within reasonable driving distance include Pingala RV Resort, Martin Campground, and Leisure Lake Membership Resort, which cater to trailers and motorhomes with hookups. Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds and Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Resort sit south toward Joliet and are common bases for race weekends and casino visits.
The surrounding DuPage County forest preserves and Illinois state park system add public campgrounds within an hour or two, giving families a mix of full-service RV parks and more rustic, nature-focused sites.
Things to do near Lombard
Lombard is known locally as the Lilac Village, and its Lilacia Park draws visitors during the May bloom. From an RV base, families can reach the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, the DuPage County forest preserves, and paved regional trails such as the Illinois Prairie Path suitable for bikes and strollers.
Downtown Chicago attractions, including Navy Pier, the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and the lakefront, are accessible by car or Metra commuter rail from nearby stations. Regional forest preserves offer hiking, fishing, and picnic areas for lower-key days between city trips.
For race fans staying at Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds, motorsports events and the neighboring Route 66 Raceway are on the doorstep. Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Resort in Joliet adds gaming, dining, and river views for evenings off the road.

The Chicago suburbs have four distinct seasons under a humid continental climate, with hot humid summers and cold, occasionally snowy winters. Spring and fall bring a mix of cool and warm weather with fairly variable skies. Peak RV season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when weekend sites fill quickly at both private resorts and public parks.
Late spring and early fall are shoulder seasons that reward flexible travelers with cooler nights, lighter mosquito pressure, and easier reservations. Most developed campgrounds near Lombard operate seasonally, with many only open from May through September or October, so trip dates in April or November may be limited to a shorter list of year-round private parks.
Winter camping options are narrow. Snow, ice, and sub-freezing temperatures are common from December through February, and many parks winterize hookups. RV travelers planning a cold-weather visit should confirm heated-water availability and road access before booking.

How to book a campsite near Lombard
Private resorts near Lombard, including Pingala RV Resort, Martin Campground, Leisure Lake Membership Resort, Chicagoland Speedway/Lakeside Campgrounds, and Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Resort, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Summer weekends and holiday periods book out early, so reserving well ahead is wise.
Illinois state park campsites use a different system. Online reservations for all Illinois Department of Natural Resources-hosted camping, cabins, group camps, and shelters are made through the ExploreMoreIL website; IDNR camping and shelter reservations are no longer taken through the mail or over the phone. Most campsites may be reserved from May 1 through October 31, and reservations must be made three days before the campsite is needed.
What to expect on-site
Private RV resorts in the Lombard area generally offer full hookups, dump stations, restrooms, showers, and Wi-Fi of varying quality, with pull-through sites suited to larger rigs. Amenity levels differ, so travelers with big-rig motorhomes should confirm site length, turning radius, and 50-amp availability before arrival.
Public campgrounds in the surrounding forest preserves and state parks are more rustic. Sites typically include picnic tables, fire rings, and trail access, and many forest preserve campgrounds in the region provide electric service but limited water hookups.
Expect suburban traffic on approach, especially on Friday afternoons around the I-88, I-290, and I-355 corridors. Grocery stores, propane, and RV supply shops are easy to find in and around Lombard, which simplifies restocking between legs of a longer trip.

enjoyillinois.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/camping/Do I need a special license to rent an RV in Lombard, Illinois?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Lombard for almost every motorhome and trailer on RVezy. Illinois Secretary of State rules exempt recreational vehicles used for personal purposes from the Commercial Driver's License (CDL) requirement, so your standard Class D license covers the Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers you'll see on the platform. You'll just need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID securely through the booking platform. That's it, no road tests, no endorsements. Most first-timers are amazed at how quickly they go from browsing to confirmed.
ilsos.gov/departments/drivers/drivers-license/cdl/cdl.htmlWhat protection comes with my Lombard RV rental?
Every RV rental in Lombard, IL booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built right into your trip, so you can hit I-355 or I-88 with confidence. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV and provides real financial peace of mind for your Lombard RV trip. During checkout you choose from multiple protection tiers, so you decide the level of coverage that fits your trip, not the host. Pair that with RVezy customer support available before, during, and after your trip, and your motorhome rental Lombard adventure starts on solid ground.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Lombard RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy, not the host, sets the cancellation policy, and every reservation includes a money-back grace period right after you book. That means if life happens, an Illinois snowstorm rolls in, or your plans for that Lombard RV trip shift, you have a clear, platform-wide process to follow rather than negotiating with an individual owner. Specific refund timelines depend on how close you are to your pickup date, and RVezy customer support is available to walk you through your options. Tip: book early to lock in pricing for the May Lilac Time festival, then relax knowing RVezy has your back.
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 Lombard?
Absolutely, plenty of pet-friendly RV rental options in Lombard welcome your furry copilot. On RVezy, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see motorhomes and travel trailers whose owners specifically allow dogs (and sometimes cats too). Once you arrive, Lombard is a fantastic dog town: Madison Meadow Park has open green space for fetch, Sunset Knoll Park has shaded trails, and nearby Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville allows leashed dogs on more than 7 miles of trails plus an off-leash dog area on Mack Road. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and they'll often share their favorite local pup-friendly stops.
dupageforest.org/places-to-go/forest-preserves/blackwellCan the RV be delivered to my campground or driveway in Lombard?
Yes, RV delivery in Lombard is one of the easiest ways to skip the stress of driving a big rig through DuPage County traffic. Many RVezy hosts offer delivery and setup straight to local spots like Blackwell Family Campground in Warrenville (about 15 minutes away), Paul Wolff Campground in Hampshire, or even your own driveway in Lombard's 60148 zip. Your host will level the RV, hook up the utilities, and walk you through everything from the awning to the water heater. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see hosts who offer it. It's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV or you're hosting family in town for Lilac Time.
dupageforest.org/places-to-go/forest-preserves/blackwellHow far can I travel from Lombard in my RV rental?

Filter by mileage policy on RVezy before booking so the numbers match your plan, then message the host if you need a custom package. Lombard's location at the I-355/I-88 junction makes it a natural launchpad.

dupageforest.org/places-to-go/forest-preserves/blackwellWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Lombard?

Spring brings Lilacia Park's famous Lilac Time festival (typically May 1 through May 17), with daytime temps in the 60s and 70s. Summer averages 75 to 85 degrees, occasionally hitting the 90s with humidity, while fall delivers crisp 50 to 70 degree days perfect for camping. Winter trips are possible if you choose a four-season RV with heated tanks, just expect snow and lows in the teens or 20s. Insider tip: time your visit for early May and pair Lilacia Park's 700 lilac bushes and 25,000 tulips with a weekend at Blackwell.
weather.gov/lot/I've never rented an RV before, will I be okay driving one in Lombard?
You've got this, first time renting an RV is easier than people expect, especially in Lombard. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving tips, hookups, the generator, slide-outs, and tank dumping before you ever turn the key. Lombard's grid-style streets and easy access to I-355, I-88, and the Reagan Memorial Tollway mean you can avoid downtown Chicago entirely. Stick to wider arterials like Roosevelt Road, North Avenue, and Butterfield Road. If city driving still feels intimidating, choose a host who offers delivery so the RV meets you at your campground. RVezy support is also available 24/7 if questions come up mid-trip.
idot.illinois.gov/What if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on I-290, a dead battery at a Blackwell campsite, or a tow off the Reagan Tollway is handled by a quick phone call. RVezy customer support is available if you have questions about the rental itself, and your host is just a message away through the app for any quirks specific to their RV. Pro tip: snap a quick photo of the RV plate, VIN, and emergency kit location during your walkthrough so you have everything ready if you ever need to call for help.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Lombard, IL?

Crossing into Wisconsin or Indiana is fine on your RVezy rental, but Mexico trips are not permitted due to insurance limits. Cross-border travel to Canada may be possible if the host approves, just message them first.
enjoyillinois.com/places-to-stay/road-trips/What should I budget for fuel on an RV trip from Lombard?
Fuel is one of the most predictable line items on your Lombard RV trip, so it's easy to plan. Expect roughly 8 to 10 MPG for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, 15 to 20 MPG for a Class B campervan, and around 12 to 18 MPG for a truck towing a travel trailer. Illinois gas typically runs $3.50 to $4.20 per gallon, with DuPage County stations like the Costco in Bloomingdale or Sam's Club in Lombard offering some of the lowest local prices. Pro tip: fill up before crossing into Chicago city limits where prices jump 30 to 60 cents, and use GasBuddy to scout cheap stops along I-88 west.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Lombard?
For the best campgrounds near Lombard, plan to book 3 to 6 months out, especially for summer weekends. Blackwell Family Campground (Forest Preserve District of DuPage County) takes reservations directly through dupageforest.org and weekends fill within days of opening. Illinois State Parks like Starved Rock and Channahon use exploremoreil.com for reservations up to 6 months ahead, and federal sites like Indiana Dunes National Park use recreation.gov, also 6 months ahead. Holiday weekends (Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day) book the fastest. Insider tip: midweek arrivals at Blackwell are almost always available even in peak season, and you'll have the Silver Lake views nearly to yourself.
dupageforest.org/things-to-do/recreational-activities/camping/family-campingWhat are driving conditions like around Lombard for an RV?
Lombard is one of the more RV-friendly suburbs in the Chicago metro because you can reach the interstates without ever entering the city. I-355, I-88, and I-290 are flat, wide, and well-maintained, and the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) is a smooth straight shot west toward Iowa. Avoid Lake Shore Drive (no commercial-style vehicles allowed) and watch for low clearances under viaducts in older Chicago neighborhoods (some as low as 11 feet). Summer thunderstorms and winter snow squalls are the main weather hazards, and rush hour on I-290 between 7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. is best avoided. Insider tip: leave Lombard before 9 a.m. for a smooth highway exit.
idot.illinois.gov/travel-information.htmlWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Lombard?
Most campgrounds near Lombard offer the essentials and then some. Blackwell Family Campground has electric hookups at every site, a fire ring, picnic table, gravel pad, drinking water spigots, and an on-site dump station (no individual sewer hookups). Paul Wolff Campground offers electric and water hookups plus a dump station. Chicago Northwest KOA goes full-service with electric, water, and sewer plus showers, laundry, a pool, and Wi-Fi. For dumping or filling water mid-trip, the Love's Travel Stop in Morris off I-80 and the Pilot in Bolingbrook off I-55 both have RV lanes. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot fresh-water hose and a 30-amp adapter, it covers nearly every site in the region.
dupageforest.org/places-to-go/forest-preserves/blackwellWhat features and amenities come standard in Lombard RV rentals?
Most motorhome rental Lombard listings come fully equipped for a turnkey trip. You can expect a queen or king bed plus convertible dinette and sofa sleepers, a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, an enclosed bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control via roof AC and furnace, and seatbelts for every traveling passenger. Many RVs also include flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth stereos, outdoor speakers, and a generator or solar setup for boondocking. Wi-Fi is hit-or-miss, so plan to tether off your phone for streaming. Pro tip: check each listing amenities list and message the host to confirm bedding, cookware, and a starter pack of toilet paper are included, many Lombard hosts include these free.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lombard%2C%20IllinoisWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for a Lombard RV rental?
Lombard hosts on RVezy offer plenty of flexibility to customize your trip. Popular add-ons include bedding and linens, kitchen kits, bike racks, camp chairs and tables, generators, portable propane fire pits (handy because many DuPage County preserves restrict open wood fires), and pet cleaning packages. Pickup is usually at the host home in Lombard or a nearby suburb like Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, or Addison, with RV delivery Lombard available for an extra fee that often scales by mile. Mileage policies typically include 100 to 150 free miles per day, with extra miles billed per mile. Pro tip: bundle delivery, generator, and bedding for a stress-free first-timer setup.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lombard%2C%20IllinoisHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Lombard, IL?
Payment is simple and fully handled through RVezy, so you never hand cash to a host. Your card is charged securely through the platform when you book, with the total split between rental cost, protection plan, service fees, and any add-ons you select. A refundable security deposit is placed as a hold a few days before pickup and released after the trip once the host confirms the RV came back clean and undamaged. To avoid any deposit issues on your Lombard RV trip, do a quick photo walkaround at pickup and drop-off, dump the tanks, and refill the fuel to the same level. Easy.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I do a winter or cold-weather RV trip from Lombard?
Yes, a winter RV trip from Lombard can be a real adventure if you choose the right rig. Look for RVezy listings labeled four-season or with heated holding tanks, an enclosed underbelly, and a strong furnace, then plan to stay at a campground with electric (shore power) hookups so you can run heaters without draining the battery. Starved Rock State Park is gorgeous when its sandstone canyons freeze into icefalls, and Indiana Dunes stays open year-round. Lombard winters run from the teens to the 30s with occasional sub-zero stretches, so pack extra blankets, RV antifreeze for the tanks, and a heated water hose. Insider tip: a campervan rental Lombard makes winter trips way easier than a big Class A.
