Check out Passport America - Illinois's Participating Campgrounds and RV Parks
You don't have to belong to PA to stay at these parks though. Harrah's Casino at Joliet isn't on the website, but is in Trailer Life and Woodall's directories.
If your job is on the North side of Chicago, check out Wisconsin CG's too.

Here are all of the RV parks I know about within about 50 miles of Chicago.

We passed through Chicago this summer and wanted to spend the day sightseeing. After a ton of deliberation we realized the ONLY way to see the city was to camp out of the city and take the train in (left the Toad at home). We stayed at Indiana Dunes: absolutely gorgeous park on Lake Michigan for only $16/ night. The train is a half mile from the park, and one hour commute to city.

There is a KOA on the northwest side of city, but you have to drive 20 minutes to the nearest train station.

Don't try to drive into city in RV: many streets forbid trucks of any type, only cars.

We stayed at the Empress RV Resort/Casino for a weekend last July. We made reservations on the way there. It was very easy to get in and out. Downtown Chicago is about an hour drive but it is all expressway. We drove our towed vehicle and left the MH at the resort. My family and I had a great time.
