Be sure to check if RVs are allowed on that section of LSD (Lake Shore Drive). Parts of it are closed to RVs - even to pickup trucks!
Since you have the family with you, another couple of ideas: Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton, IN or Illinois Beach State Park in Zion, IL. Both are about 45-50 miles out of the city but are along commuter rail lines that will take you right into downtown.
