Danville is an eastern Illinois town located mere minutes from the Indiana state border. In Danville, you’ll encounter world-class museums and unique shops and boutiques. There are also 39 murals painted on the walls of brick buildings throughout the town. These murals depict tales of heroes and history, telling a story to both locals and visitors. If you’re looking for a more outdoorsy experience, Danville also delivers. The city and surrounding county have more than 15,000 acres of parks and wildlife areas. And although the city is remarkable in its own right, it sits near major interstates and highways should you want to travel to other hotspots within Illinois. Danville is located less than two hours' drive from Springfield, the state’s capital, and less than three hours' drive from Chicago. It’s also a short drive from the Illinois-Indiana state line, so if you’re looking to rent an RV in a place that will allow you to easily explore the surrounding areas, look no further than Danville.
