Getting Outdoors

When you book a rental motorhome at Griswold Lake, there’s a high probability that you’re into fishing. Some of the fish to look out for here include yellow perch, largemouth bass, and white crappie. You’ll love the calm waters thanks to the fact that all motorboats should have not more than ten horsepower engines.

Camping at Griswold Lake

After getting the keys to one of the comfiest Chicagoland camper rentals, it’s a great idea to prospect for suitable RV parks in the area to avoid annoying experiences and last-minute cancellations. Chain 0’ Lakes State Park is a nice one to consider if you’re eager to hit those trail. The RV park consists of a combination of pull-thru and back-in sites connected to electric hookups only. The mobile connection is good, and other amenities include fire rings, a camp store, and a playground.

Exploring the Area

While in the Prairie State, don’t miss out on the chance of exploring the major cities in the area before packing up your camper and leaving. After doing the usual stuff in Chicago such as visiting Willis Tower and Millennium Park, bring out your inner Robin Hood at the Archery Bow Range in Humboldt Park. If time allows it, pass by iFLY for a surreal experience skydiving indoors.

We loved our trip on Fiona’s camper van! It was perfectly cozy and well laid out for cooking and hanging - even in the cold temps we had during our trip. Best of all, it was the perfect place for our proposal!

This was the first time I had ever driven a van or RV. Jacob walked me through the entire process and answered any questions we had prior to our trip. The van was very easy to drive, clean, and had everything we needed. Jacob offered to help whenever needed and was kind and generous with his time. We had an amazing trip and didn't have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend renting from them.

Angie and Tom came in clutch as the original vehicle we rented for our trip did not come as advertised on Outdoorsy. They saved our trip by providing a quick turnaround and a vehicle that was already de-winterized (something that was hard to come by in early March!), clean and comfortable!
