Campgrounds · Union, Illinois
KOA's closest campground to Chicago, about an hour out of the city in Union, Illinois. RV and tent sites, rustic and deluxe cabins, rental trailers, a pool, mini-golf and a fenced dog park, open from mid-April to mid-October.
The nearest full campground to the city, and it has a fenced dog run and on-site trails, which makes an overnight with a dog straightforward.
Dogs are allowed but breed restrictions apply, so call to confirm which ones. Dogs must be on a leash no longer than six feet outside your vehicle, and are not permitted in the rental travel trailers; cabin pet policies vary between cabins. The park has a fenced dog park and walking trails. Details come from KOA and press coverage of the site.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
