Discover Fox Ridge State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Illinois doesn’t have a lot in the way of rolling hills, making Fox Ridge State Park stand out among the other, flatter state parks. Like much of the rest of Illinois, the terrain at Fox Ridge was also formed by glaciers in the last ice age. It’s incredible to hike among the park’s many trails and imagine it covered in thousands of feet of ice. Native American tribes settled into the area in approximately the 17th century, and Europeans arrived soon after, using the river for trade and commerce.

I cannot say enough good things about Elliot and his RV. The RV has a ton of room. We had 5 adults and were well accommodated for space. The RV has all the essentials, generator, retractable awning, sound system, and more.
