About the Park

A Quiet Corner of
Illinois State Parks

Fox Ridge State Park sits on more than 300 acres of rolling hills, mature forest, and two man-made lakes in eastern Coles County. The campground was designed for people who want the simplicity of outdoor sleeping without sacrificing access to clean facilities and a safe, well-kept environment.

Whether you're passing through central Illinois on a road trip, returning to the park you visited as a kid, or discovering the area for the first time — this is a place that rewards slow travel. The trails change with the seasons. The lakes are calm. The nights are quiet.
