Getting Outdoors
Fishing is undoubtedly the major crowd puller to Busse Lake. Should you be wondering what kind of fish is available in the lake, well, there’s a pretty long list. The largemouth bass population here is appealing, and catches of 18 inches are common. Anglers can also look for walleye, catfish, and crappie.
Camping at Busse Lake
Once you have made up your mind to go camping at Busse Lake for a couple of days, it would be a great idea to familiarize yourself with the various RV parks in the area. While the lake itself has no campground, check out Camp Reinberg in Palatine if you’re not eager to wander away far from the lake. The campground has only five back-in sites equipped with electrical and sewer hookups.
Exploring the Area
It would be a shame to pack up your Elk Grove Village camper rental and drive off without taking the time to explore the city of Chicago and the various attractions found in the suburbs. Kick-off your city tour by heading over to the Willis Tower observatory to get your gradients. Perched 103 floors high in what was once the tallest building in the world, the views from up there are simply breathtaking. If you’re a thrill-seeker bring along a camera for a selfie in the ledge’s glass.

This RV is amazing. The vehicle is fully equipped with anything you can possibly need for a camping trip. Fits a family of 4 with sufficient space, but still drives like a regular car which makes the driving experience so much better than the larger truck-like RVs out there.

Jordan and Danielle were wonderful to deal with and the camper was about as perfect as it could be for our family of 3. I am planning on reserving again with them for this trip next year!
