Depends on your definition of "near." :) Best suggestion is to camp near a commuter rail station and take that into the city. Buses (and in the summer, water taxis) can get you around in the city. The water taxis are fun, and a good way to travel from near Union (rail) Station to Navy Pier and from there to the museum complex.
