I have a meeting in Chicago in a few weeks and I am thinking about taking the family and making it a little vacation. Can someone recommend a nice campground close to Chicago? I have never been to Chicago so any help would be great.

in Joliet and the train to lasalle st. station is about 4 miles into town. It's a 1 1/2 hour ride, but the trains run all the time and you're right downtown in the loop when you get off. Joliet is also decent and not like some areas that you might not want to be in. The hotel and casino are nice and they serve a great continental breakfast. I'm thinking that it was approx. $35 a night and the campground is pretty decent with a dump station, but no site sewers. Definitely a place I would go back to for visiting Chicago.
