Perfect location for our downtown experiences with my family of 5 towing our 41ft 5th wheel. Right off the freeway and easy to get too. Be sure to enter the parking lot for trucks and not the one further north towards the city cause that’s for cars. We were able to ride our bikes down the River walk trail to many museums, sites and food. The staff at the lot were very kind to us going in and out of the gate too. Be sure to have paid online before you come at the link others have mentioned in the Q&A

You simply cannot beat the location. 10 minutres bike ride to Grant Park, the heart of downtown. We also have a dog and there was a doggy daycare a five minute drive away. We felt safe and could run our generator. There were also porta potties at the north end of the lot, so I could conserve water. Lightly used and very clean. Highly recommend.

Yes it’s only a parking lot (no hookups!), yes it’s extremely expensive. But where else are you going to park this close to downtown?! We parked just for the day and only paid $25 since we stayed less than 16 hours. It’s walking distance to the McCormick Place metro (which cost $2/ticket to go downtown), and we felt our RV would be safe here considering Chicago can be pretty rough in some places. If you go to their website you can “reserve” a spot, but we just showed up with no reservation and there was essentially endless parking spots. I wouldn’t reserve online if you’re just there for the day in case your plans change and you decide to leave early!

We stayed here in October 2020 and July 4th weekend, 2021 while visiting my daughter. If you want to be close to downtown Chicago with your RV this is a great option. As others have commented, there are areas where trucks are parked and could be noisy but we have always parked away from them and never had an issue. Our only issue with noise was July 4th weekend when the fireworks never seemed to stop. You can walk or ride your bike to Lake Shore Trail along Lake Michigan and easily visit any of the downtown attractions. Or call an Uber to pick you up right from the parking lot unless you want to drive your own vehicle. This is not a camping spot it's a parking spot and there are absolutely not hook-ups so be ready to bring what you need and take everything with you. They don't allow "leisure camping" so no setting up camp but I've pulled out a chair and enjoyed the morning with a cup of coffee with no problem. We've seen some people drop their RV and drive off then come back to hook-up and leave several days later. The website to reserve a stay is: mcccormick.parkingguide.com

Still a great location for visiting Chicago with the trailer but this stay surprised us with a lot more semi-trucks in the lot. It was a busy concert weekend in Chicago and so there were many Prevost tour busses and semi-trucks with equipment for the stadium concerts. But even without all the extra trucks and buses the lot was much busier than our previous stays. We will still use this location when visiting Chicago because it's the only location in the city where you can bring an RV and for $38/day.
