Pine Campground — Sand Ridge State Forest

Close bathroom but hard to tell where each campsite starts and ends. Car camping, fireplace with grill pad included. First time we camped there was only one person here, second time there is 4 other campsites taken- one of which is being unreasonably loud.

Stayed at spot A1 (near the entrance). Gorgeous little campground. I stayed here Dec. 9, 2021. Registration is just down the road and up the hill (take the main road west and a left at the fork). Facilities were clean, there was only one other camper there the night I stayed so it was super quiet, I will definitely stay here again on my next trip across Illinois. The only small bummer was the electrical box was locked when I got there, so I ended up dry camping. I was too tired to bother finding someone to unlock it. Slept great though.

We spent Christmas 2020 here! We camped in spot B4. One of the park staff stopped by. He was super nice, and offered some great info for future visits. Toilets were open, and he did mention we could still use the water spigot! Really liked our stay :)
