What others are saying about this campground
Deer Grove Forest Preserve Campground is the perfect spot for suburban camping in the Norwest suburb of Palatine. Located in the Cook County Forest Preserve District, the campground is well maintained and offers a range of amenities including a small camping store, communal kitchen, fire pits, and clean bathrooms. The campground is easily accessible from Chicago and is a great getaway for city dwellers. Grocery stores and modern conveniences are minutes away. The campground has access to the entire Deer Park preserve and its paved cycling and walking trails. RV spots are concrete, flat, and easy to get into. The preserve is beautiful, with forested sections, open fields, and lilly pad covered ponds. The staff are friendly and helpful, and are on site 24 hours a day. They will bring a hose to your site for a water fill up. The campground is secure, with a gate that is closed at 10pm every night and opened again in the morning. The campground is centrally located to major roads and the Palatine Metra train station. There is a small amount of road noise, but it is not noticeable after rush hour. The campground has pavilions, air conditioned/heated dining hall, shower building, and restrooms. There are 5 RV sites, 2 paved and 3 gravel. There are plenty of paved and dirt trails throughout the grounds, and lots of fun little off-shoots into the woods. The campground also offers classes like Camping 101, and rents equipment like bicycles and snowshoes. It is an ideal spot for nature lovers looking for a convenient way to visit Chicago.
