A Nod to History:
Basecamp is located in Navvy Town, named for the canal workers—or "navvies"—who built the Illinois & Michigan Canal. When completed in the mid-1800s, the canal revolutionized trade and travel by connecting the Illinois River to Lake Michigan, creating a direct link from Chicago to St. Louis and beyond. This historic waterway opened the floodgates for commerce, culture, and community across the Midwest—and Basecamp lets you experience this rich legacy in comfort and style.
Basecamp is professionally managed by Harbor Inn Vacation Rentals, your local team at Heritage Harbor dedicated to making your stay unforgettable.
