Historic Methodist CampGround of Des Plaines

Established in 1860, the Chicago District Campground is a quiet community located 20 miles north of the City of Chicago, nestled among groves of old growth trees. We invite you to visit and be part of this relaxed-filled pleasant refuge in the wilderness.

Listed on the National Historic Registry, this hidden gem is walking distance to the Des Plaines Metra Train, minutes from O'Hare International Airport, bordered by the Des Plaines 56-mile River Trail to the east, the Des Plaines River to the west, and forest preserves to the north and south.

Stop by for a tour of the grounds, or host your next event in one of our beautiful groves or historic buildings. www.hmc1860.org
