Chicago is a fantastic vacation spot. It's located right on Lake Michigan and boasts a variety of top-notch attractions. The best way to see Chicago and the surrounding area is by renting an RV. There are many great campgrounds available. However, before you hit the road, there are a few things to consider.
One of the most striking features is the abundance of museums within the city. The Chicago Art Institute is one of the best in the country, and the Chicago History Museum is also a must-see. You can also visit some of the many parks in the area. Loyola Park for instance is a 21-acre park with an indoor swimming facility, a lakefront trail, and athletic fields. There are also special events. There are also several annual festivals like the Black History Month Celebrations and Easter Egg Hunts, Halloween Party, Earth Day Park Cleanups, and Halloween Party.
Another fun way to experience the city is to rent a pop-up trailer. Although they are small campers, they are very easy to move and can hold up to four people. The units can be towed behind a minivan, and they fold up easily when not in use. The RVshare site also has a section dedicated to pet-friendly rentals.
Chicago RV rentals are available in many sizes. A larger model can be ideal for a family and offer a more luxurious experience. Some larger motorhomes come with air conditioning, a cooking area, and a bathroom. A DVD/TV or bike rack may be included in some motorhomes. There are smaller options available as well. The Chevy Express campervan, for instance, is an economical option that has a dinette, kitchenette, and rooftop tent. It can sleep four and can be parked in most campsites.
The El Monte Slideout AC35 32-foot motorhome is powered by a Ford V10 6.8L. The vehicle is equipped with a factory cab air-conditioning system, surround sound music system, and power steering. This RV is also equipped with a freestanding canopy, a twin bed for two people, and a portable camp stove. It is located 31-miles from Midway International Airport.
Other interesting items to check out while in Chicago are the three-dimensional Imax theater, the 3D Imax cinema, and the Navy Pier. Navy Pier offers shops, restaurants, a ferris wheel of 150 feet and many other exciting attractions. The park also features a number of gardens, and you can also take a spin on the historic carousel.
