We stayed at Leisure Lake Membership Resort outside of Joliet. A membership was not required to obtain a site. The place was nice, dirt sites and dirt roads if I remember correctly but overall a nice campground. The reviews mainly point out one rude individual who may answer the phone sometimes and who may have lift off if you remove a fish from the lake, but that was about the only negative remarks.
We drove about 25 mins. to the train station parking in Joliet and had a short walk from there. There are two different rail services that use the same tracks, Amtrak and Metrarail. The train went into downtown and had many stops but that just added to the experience. There was a direct route available for a higher price. Got on a "Quiet Car" on the trip back. Wasn't sure what that was until I noticed nobody talking to each other. Guess after a hard day at the office some folks want their solitude to bury their face in a phone or laptop. Was kind of weird.
Good luck.
