With more than 5 million residents in Cook County, you may not think of this as an area good for camping. But did you know that Cook County is home to five campsites as part of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County? And even more exciting - two of those campsites are located in the 14th District!
The campsites offer options for tent, cabin, bunkhouse, or RV camping in an immersive, round-the-clock nature experience. The five campgrounds each offer a unique experience and feature accessible campsite options and amenities.
