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.

We rented this RV to take my two sons on a trip out west, and it couldn’t have worked out better. We rode motorcycles through Moab, marveled at the Grand Canyon, and camped in Colorado near Grand Junction. Having the RV as our base made the whole trip easy. It was comfortable to sleep in, simple to set up, and gave us the freedom to focus on the adventure. More than anything, it gave us time together and a lifetime of memories I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Our rental was just what we needed. It helped so much for our host to drop off, set up, and pick up the RV. My only minor suggestions are to have a skillet (had pots only) and a couple of folding chairs as items available for use. We flew in so we didn’t have access to get those things. Jackson was very responsive to any questions during our trip. I would definitely recommend renting from this host.
