Buck Ridge Campground, Illinois     Custom Search   AMENITIES: Restrooms I am very disappointed to see that Buck Ridge Campground is still closed. This was my favorite place to camp. My tent rarely comes out of the closet since this tragic closing. The last year I camped there I learned it would be closing because of the lack of funds. This is very sad as this is true camping at its best. I bought a pontoon boat this year and plan to keep it at the Lake of Egypt. I am saddened there is no true camping on this beautiful lake any longer. Many of my friends would come down and camp for weeks at a time and enjoy the boat if this place would re open. This place is secluded, quiet and full of nature. This is       a loss that is still hard for me to overcome every Spring and Summer. Sad in Marion, Il Says Julie Buck Ridge Campground was closed in 2007 and I'm very upset to see that happen. The area is depressed and could really benefit   from this wonderful campground. You can still hike in but we will miss our trips and the wonderful memories that awaited us. I'm truly upset about this loss. The park is gorgeous. I hope to see an outpouring of requests to reopen this national treasure. Says Suzanne Jacobs-Fabian Of course facilities are few in a primitive campground such as Buck Ridge Campground.
