Since 2001, CampingCar‑Online has helped travelers explore the USA from Chicago, with itineraries that include the legendary Route 66 and the Great Lakes region.

Chicago, the third largest city in the United States, is a vibrant metropolis of over 2.7 million people. Known as the “Windy City,” it sits on the shores of Lake Michigan and offers world‑class attractions. Visit the Art Institute of Chicago, stroll through Grant Park, or explore the Museum Campus with its famous trio: the Adler Planetarium, the Field Museum, and Shedd Aquarium. Don’t miss the historic Rookery Building or the breathtaking views from the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower).

With campsites easily accessible around the city, Chicago is the perfect starting point for your motorhome journey. In just one to two weeks on the road, you can discover the beauty of the Great Lakes, relax on the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan, explore the rolling landscapes of Wisconsin, or head south to experience the charm of St. Louis. For those seeking iconic adventures, follow Route 66 westward or drive east to discover the cultural gems of Detroit and Cleveland.

From Chicago, a motorhome gives you the freedom to explore some of the Midwest’s most beautiful natural landscapes. In spring, the tulips bloom in Holland, Michigan, during the Tulip Time Festival, just a few hours’ drive away. In summer, relax on the sandy shores of Indiana Dunes National Park, where Lake Michigan meets rolling dunes and forest trails. Come autumn, the canyons and waterfalls of Starved Rock State Park glow with brilliant fall colors, making it one of Illinois’ most popular hiking destinations.

Chicago also hosts major annual events worth planning around. In July, the city comes alive with Taste of Chicago, the world’s largest food festival, while in March, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the dyeing of the Chicago River create one of the most iconic celebrations in the country.

With campsites easily accessible around the city, Chicago is more than just a departure point — it’s a destination in itself and the perfect gateway to explore the Great Lakes, the Midwest, and the open road in your motorhome.
