RVING AT THE EVENT

RV reservations fill up quickly, so consider grabbing a spot for the 2025 fall event ahead of time. Blackwell Forest Preserve is located in Warrenville, and it is just a 20-minute drive to Chicago.

You can buy firewood on site for your fire pit. There is also a modern bathhouse with flushing toilets. For public transportation into the city, you can connect to the Metra train line in Naperville or Lisle. Thousand Trails Pine Country is another excellent place to park your RV. This park is located in the northern suburbs, and it is accessible to the major highways. Pine Country is only a short drive to Chicago’s downtown area.

From that location, you can take a bus or train to Douglass Park. There are two international airports that serve the area. The largest airport is Chicago O’Hare International Airport, which is 16 miles from the downtown area of Chicago. Chicago Midway International Airport is a regional airport about 11 miles from the city.
