Public Storage
Gated Lombard storage with covered, indoor and outdoor RV and boat parking, open 24/7 and rated 4.9 by reviewers.
Lombard sits in DuPage County, close enough to the city that driveway space disappears fast. Three facilities here handle cars, boats and the occasional rig, and six more sit within a short drive. Ratings run 4.9 across the board, so the choice comes down to the kind of cover you want and how often you need in and out. Two of the three offer 24/7 gate access.

Count the options and the shape of the market gets clear: three outdoor spots, one covered, one indoor. If your rig sits for months at a stretch, indoor is the one that keeps sun and hail off the gel coat and keeps critters from finding the wiring. Covered splits the difference and still lets air move. Outdoor costs less and works fine for a trailer that gets used most weekends. Check the gate hours before you commit. Two of the three facilities here run 24/7 access, and that matters if you pull out before dawn or come back after dark on a Sunday.
Public Storage leads on reviews with 357 at 4.9, and it covers the widest range here: covered, indoor, outdoor, boat and vehicle, with gated entry, lighting and a climate option. StorageMart also sits at 4.9 with 342 reviews and adds cameras, 24/7 access and climate control on outdoor, boat and vehicle spaces. Extra Space Storage rounds it out at 4.9 on a smaller base of 68, gated with cameras on outdoor and vehicle spots. Read a few reviews before you pick. Parking aisles, gate response and how tight the turns are come up often and tell you more than a star count.
Illinois winters are hard on batteries and tires. A maintainer keeps the battery alive through the cold months, and inflating tires to the upper end of the sidewall rating helps them avoid flat spots while the rig sits. Top off the fuel and add a stabilizer before you park it for the season. Sun does its own damage the rest of the year, so a cover or a roof over the rig pays off over time. Ask what your insurance wants. Many policies require the vehicle be parked behind a gate or under cover, and a facility's rules on washing, repairs and long-term stays vary.
Three are in Lombard itself, and six more are within a short drive. The local three break down as three outdoor, one covered and one indoor, so some facilities offer more than one type. Boat storage shows up at two of them.
Yes, two of the three offer it. That helps if you leave early or come back late. Confirm the gate code process and any after-hours rules when you call, since access terms can differ by unit type.
All three sit at 4.9. Public Storage has 357 reviews, StorageMart has 342 and Extra Space Storage has 68. With numbers that close, features and access hours are a better tiebreaker than the score itself.
Indoor suits anything you park for months, since it blocks sun, hail and pests. Covered is a middle ground. Outdoor works for a boat or car you use often and can cover yourself. Check gate hours and cameras either way.
