Cliffside would be the one I would recommend. We actually don't live too far from there and have "commuter camped" there several times when we wanted to camp but weren't able to go away for a week. It's very big rig friendly with mostly large open sites, but there are no full hook ups. Only water & electric. It's about 30 minutes from downtown Milwaukee. The Ikea in Oak Creek may be open by the time you visit. That's only about 20 minutes from Cliffside.
There isn't much else close other than State Fair Park in West Allis. It's really just a parking lot with hook ups. But if you aren't interested in a nice "home" setting it's far more central to everything in the Milwaukee metro area. Probably a 10 minute ride to downtown.
The next best option might be Harrington Beach State Park in Lake Church. It's a beautiful park that's also very big rig friendly, but no water hook ups. And it's 45 minutes north of downtown.
