About Evanston, Illinois
Set on Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, Evanston makes a convenient base for camping near the North Shore. Campgrounds and RV parks near Evanston put you close to sandy beaches, lakeside parks, and trail networks like the Green Bay Trail and North Shore Channel Trail. Paddling on the lake, birding along the shoreline, and exploring nearby forest preserves and the Skokie Lagoons offer easy day adventures before returning to a quiet campsite.
