They’re usually found in the national or state park setting and also popular with hikers. Tent sites are surprisingly affordable option for families of all sizes. Some tent sites do not have electricity or water, and others offer electric-only, allowing you to disconnect completely and focus your attention on nature and quality time.

These rentals are often available year-round, and offer the quiet of camping, without having to go without the necessities, like beds, running water, and electricity. Plus, the unique experience is a great introduction to camping for the entire family. For many campgrounds, rentals fill up fast, so book these early and get ready for a fun, relaxing experience.

RV Camping
If tenting is not for you, and you think you’re ready to “get up off the ground”, an RV campsite may be your next move. Once you have a camper, you’ll find a number of campsite options waiting for you. Many campgrounds throughout Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin offer campsites just for RVs. You’ll find everything from grass or gravel to cement slab sites. Back-up sites are designed with smaller trailers in mind (pop-ups, Class C’s, etc.) and pull-through sites are really handy for longer trailers, fifth wheels, and toyhaulers. Site amenities can be a water/electric set-up or a full hook-up option, which includes connecting directly to the sewer and avoiding the dump station later.
There are numerous campsites in the Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois area that offer RV campsites at an affordable rate. As long as you have a camper, then you can enjoy the great outdoors! Click here to learn more!
