Campgrounds near Round Lake Heights, Illinois
Round Lake Heights sits in Lake County in the middle of the Chain O'Lakes region, Illinois' largest concentration of natural lakes. The area is water-focused: interconnected lakes, the Fox River, and a mix of state-run and private RV parks put boaters, anglers, and families within a short drive of a launch or beach.
Chain O'Lakes State Park anchors the public options a few miles northwest. The park includes two Class A-Premium areas (Honeysuckle Hollow and Fox Den) with 151 sites and three Class B-Premium areas (Turner Lake South, Prairie View, and Mud Lake East) with 87 sites. Private resorts fill in the rest of the map. Fish Lake Beach Camping Resort in Volo offers full-hookup RV sites on Fish Lake, and Grass Lake Marina and RV Park puts campers directly on one of the natural lakes the state park borders.
For RV travelers coming north from Chicago, Round Lake Heights is roughly 60 miles from the city and about four miles from the Wisconsin state line, making it a practical base for a Chain O'Lakes trip or a jump across the border toward Kenosha County.
Things to do near Round Lake Heights
Water dominates the itinerary. The Chain O'Lakes system links ten interconnected lakes and the Fox River, with fishing for bluegill, largemouth bass, walleye, crappie, muskie, northern pike, catfish, and yellow and white bass. Boat and canoe rentals are available seasonally at Chain O'Lakes State Park through the park concessionaire. Only electric trolling motors are permitted on the park's 44-acre Turner Lake, while the wider Chain has no horsepower limits.
On land, the state park offers picnic areas, hiking and biking trails, and equestrian trails through prairie and woodland. Fox River Recreation adds paddling and shoreline access along the river corridor.
Families staying at Fish Lake Beach Camping Resort have a sandy beach, heated pool, hot tub, and boat rentals on-site. The Kenosha County Fair Association grounds sit a short drive north across the state line.

The camping window in this part of Illinois is essentially spring through fall. Fish Lake Beach Camping Resort runs its overnight season from May 1 through October 15, which tracks the reliable weather window for the Chicago area. Chain O'Lakes State Park campgrounds are typically open from early spring through late fall.
Summer is peak: warm, humid, and busy on the water, with weekend sites at both public and private campgrounds booking well in advance. Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day weekends are the highest-demand dates at Chain O'Lakes State Park, and holiday nightly fees at state park Class A-Premium sites are higher than standard nights.
Fall brings cooler temperatures and reduced crowds, but planning matters at the state park. Summer park hours run 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. from April 1 through October 31, and the park closes for all activities except hunting from early November through mid-December. Hunting inside the park is by registration only, so campers should check the schedule before booking a shoulder-season trip.

Very very helpful to have a sizable fridge and freezer. Microwave a big plus. Solar panels and Shore Power allowed us to use comfy air-connditioning. Thanks.

How to book
Chain O'Lakes State Park campsites, including Turner Lake South, are reserved through the Illinois DNR's ExploreMoreIL system or by calling 866-716-6550. A non-refundable reservation fee applies, and the maximum stay is 14 nights within any 30-day period. Youth group sites are booked separately through the park office at 847-587-5512.
Private campgrounds handle their own reservations. Fish Lake Beach Camping Resort takes bookings directly through its office in Volo, and Grass Lake Marina and RV Park, Fox River Recreation, and the Kenosha County Fair Association grounds each manage sites independently through their operators.
For summer weekends and holiday periods, reserve early. State park Class A-Premium loops book out quickly, and private resorts on the Chain fill their weekend inventory well ahead of the season.
What to expect
Expect a lake-recreation environment rather than a wilderness one. The state park covers roughly 2,793 acres with an adjoining 3,230-acre conservation area, but the surrounding landscape is a mix of small towns, marinas, and lakefront neighborhoods. Cell service is generally reliable, and grocery, fuel, and dump stations are close at hand.
At Chain O'Lakes State Park, alcohol is prohibited in the campgrounds, and standard state park rules on firewood and quiet hours apply. Private resorts like Fish Lake Beach offer full hookups, laundry, hot showers, and family amenities including a heated pool, hot tub, and playgrounds.
Blue-green algae can appear on area lakes in warm months. Check posted advisories before swimming, and rinse off after water contact.
