I agree with the LeClair Iowa area, we go that way every October. You can go another three hours west to the Amana Colonies right off Interstate 80, lots of neat stuff to do out there.
One of our yearly trips is to St. Joseph Michigan, there is a great beach there and some very nice campgrounds and only about a three hour drive from Chicago. Set up a base camp and there are many things to do in the area.
I grew up in the Galena area and we go back there every September. We stay at the Lena KOA and go to the area festivals. this is only about a three hour drive as well.
Take a drive up to Milwaukee, there is a great zoo there and beaches too. However the beaches are not nearly as nice as the east side of Michigan.
