Leisure Lake Membership Resort

First, you must be a Good Sam member to stay at this park. This is a membership only park, but they do allow Good Sam members if there is availability. In the past when I have tried to stay here, there was no availability. I think there was availability this time since all the amenities are closed due to COVID.

We have family in Chicago, so we tend to stop in this area often. There are very few RV parks in the Chicago area and, except for McCormick Place downtown, they are all 1-2 hours outside of Chicago.

This park is in an older part of Chicago and is a bit run down. Since it is a membership park, most of the RVs here are seasonal. Usually they have a swimming pool, a swimming lake and a fishing lake. While I believe you could still buy a fishing permit to fish, all swimming is closed. This park is located between two major expressways, so there is road noise from both expressways.

While I only have 2 bars on AT&T, the DL speed was 35Mbps and UL was 3Mbps. Verizon had 11Mbps DL and 14Mbps UL.

If you are looking for a place to stay to visit Chicago, I think the best park is the Paul Wolff Campground in Elgin. They do not have full hookups, but there is a dump on site. There is also a commuter train close by to take into Chicago. They are FCFS, but usually only fill on holiday weekends. Unfortunately our family is in the Southwest suburbs, so we tend to stay in the southwest part of Chicago.

Can you say absolutely rude!!! I don't know who Mike is and wether he just works there or is the owner. I will never spend a dime with that park. You may think you're an exclusive members only club, but your attitude and demeanor is what will kill your business.

Let me give some background to the readers. I called the park back in February asking about monthly rv spots. At the time I was told on the phone that we didn't require a membership as monthly renters because if we did have a membership we would have to leave the property after 21 and be away for 7. Okay cool. We'll do the monthly and not do the membership.

I called today and spoke with Mike, who's tone and demeanor was rude from the get go. I called and he answered "Leisure Lakes". Not a hello this is Mike or thank your for calling how can I help you. Nothing! Rude. Strike 1. Okay anyways. We went in to talk about a monthly rental, we walked in the office and "Can I help you?" Not a "welcome to leisure lakes, how can help you today?" Nothing, rude! Strike 2. He started to explain the rental and said you need to be a member of the lakes or of Good Sam. I explained when I called that the person I talked to had said I don't need a membership for doing the monthly rental. Mike's response, "okay, here it is. I'm only going to say it one more time". Really! If you talk to your customers like that, I don't want to spend a penny there ever! Who talks to customers like that. Strike 3. I said to him, "If you're going to be a d$&@, I don't want to rent from here anyways if your just going to be rude. You demeanor on the phone was rude and your even more rude in person". His response,, "Bye". I guess when you think you have an exclusive membership rv park, you can treat people like that. Members beware and future people interested beware. If this is how people are treated when interested in knowing more, how do you think you'll be treat when you're actually staying there?!

If you don't believe what I wrote, look at other reviews that mention how rude they are. I guess they equally treat everyone as if they are wasting their time.

Look around. Many sites have similar descriptions of this person and how rude they are. Stay away.
