Palatine is a village in Cook County and a suburb of Chicago, IL. It has grown rapidly since the 1970s, a direct result of Chicago's growth, but still retains a friendly, small-town feel. Palatine has a reasonable racial diversity, with immigrants from Asia, the Pacific Islands and Latin America. A Sikh gurdwara (a temple or place of prayer) attracts people of the Sikh faith from all over America.

The Great Outdoors
Three fairly large forest preserves worth checking out are Spring Lake Forest Preserve, west of Palatine; Arthur L Janura Forest Preserve (southwest); and Ned Brown Preserve (or Busse Woods, south). All are close and easily accessed. Spring Lake has a variety of landscapes, grasslands, wetlands, woodlands and savannas, which have rugged trails for hiking or horseback riding. The landscapes alternate between flat and rolling hills, and in winter are used for cross country skiing. The north section of the preserve is designated by the Audubon Society as an important bird area; bird watchers can glimpse bobolinks, which migrate from Argentina's grasslands in June. Fishing is not allowed in Spring Lake.
RV Parks
Paul Wolff Campground, near Elgin, has paved sites. It is open from May to October, and has wireless internet, picnic tables, 20/30/50 amp service, water, electricity and (there is no sewer hookup in each site but it has dump stations). It is close to a Metra Rail station which will take you to downtown Chicago.
Exploring The City
Chicago natives like to brag about their winters and how easily they handle them, so Chicago (and by extension, all of Illinois including Palatine) is the place to be if you want to test your winter skills. Ice fishing is a good place to start. Ice fishing tours are available, sometimes with award-winning anglers, and usually include a tent or shelter to keep the cold from getting unreasonable; having your Palatine RV rental nearby to warm up certainly wouldn't hurt, either.

First time traveling in an RV. We had such a great time. Our hosts explained everything we needed to know and we're available to answer questions throughout our trip. We will definitely do this again.

Week long trip looking for something cozy yet not too big, this was thee answer. The van handled well between some rough roads to campgrounds, which we managed thru worry free, to tucking away in the back of walmart's parking lots. If there's a place you'd like to be, I'm sure this van can get you there! Amenities we're fantastic. Having a toilet when needed to never having to worry about devices getting their charge. Would definitely get again!
