RV rental Illinois: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

After exploring the great outdoors, take some time to visit some of Illinois’ charming towns and cities. Springfield, 40 miles from Decatur, is the state capital and former home of Abraham Lincoln. This flourishing city is the best place in Illinois to learn about this famous figurehead. Visit the Lincoln Home National Historic Site or uncover the state’s heritage at the Illinois State Museum. Just a few miles outside of town, you can camp at Springfield KOA. The RV park provides family-friendly facilities such as a swimming pool and mini-golf course, as well as full hookups and WiFi. Another option is Double J Campground in Chatham. The campground is just a short drive from Lake Springfield and equipped with full hookups. One of the most popular Illinois cities is Chicago. Boasting green urban spaces, art galleries, shopping districts, and a range of dining options, Chicago is the heart of culture in the Midwest. Use the Chicago Loop, starting from Millennium Park, to explore the city’s most vibrant district. The route takes you past the Cloud Gate, Buckingham Fountain, the Art Institute of Chicago, and past some of the city’s most iconic buildings. Many of Chicago’s streets are narrow, so instead, park the RV rental outside of the city and take a train to the downtown area. Indiana Dunes Campground within the Indiana Dunes State Park is located just across the Illinois-Indiana border and offers waterside campsites with electrical hookups and basic facilities. The state’s third-largest city, Rockford, is home to the Anderson Japanese Gardens, one of the finest Japanese gardens in the USA. Take a walk around these pristine gardens between May and October, then dive into the rich history of the city. Rockford's home to many museums, galleries, and theaters, such as the Rockford Art Museum and the Burpee Museum of Natural History. Those traveling with kids will enjoy the interactive and open-air Midway Village Museum. You’ll need to drive a little way from the town to find an RV park near Rockford. Blackhawk Valley Campground is 20 minutes' drive from Rockford and provides campsites with full hookups. A more rustic option is the RV campground in Rock Cut State Park. It offers approximately 200 campsites with electrical hookups and restroom facilities. For a step back in time with a side of small-town charm, visit the historic city of Galena on the banks of Mississippi River. Galena’s Main Street is lined with 19th-century architecture and independent stores. It’s a fantastic place to shop for souvenirs, grab a bite to eat, or enjoy an afternoon coffee. The city offers a wide range of international cuisines as well as local breweries and distilleries. The diverse cities and stunning lakes that make up the state of Illinois are ideal for city lovers and outdoor adventurers of all ages. The state is set up with RV parks that provide family-friendly spaces to relax. Rent a campervan in Illinois and start planning your next RV vacation.
