theflow 0 #1 October 20, 2009 Hi , Im looking for opinions on what DZ has a great camping spot to spent about a month at and get my numbers and training up. I have a big ass tent and looking for a dz with a weekly operation, some nice shade, showers and friendly atmosphere. Iv'e browsed the reviews but are there any campers out there that recommend a site thats not just the back of a parking lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skydive Chicago has the most scenic that I've seen, with trees, a fishing/swimming pond, a river, grass and amenities that far exceed expectations....

keithbar 1 #5 October 21, 2009 I have been meaning to get up to sdc for several years now. I have allways heard good thing about the place. I'm gonna try to make it happen this next summer. but tent camping for a month in november in chicago. bring your thermals sounds a little chilly to me but hey some people do the polar bear club thing to each his own i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkM 0 #6 October 22, 2009 ZHills would be pretty good. They have a decent amount of peeps living on the DZ you can socialize with. You should be able to do laundry there too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pond, . . . the pool . . . the pond would be good for you.
