This is truly a beautiful park to explore. The fall color was beautiful. I enjoyed seeing the plants growing on the rocks.

Amazing nature awaits at this beautiful park. Clearly marked trails. Wide gravel and dirt trails lead straight to waterfalls and awesome rock formations! Wow! Must see stop! Kid friendly and pet friendly!

We have enjoyed Fern Clyffe for years and years. We have often camped there with our children and now our grandchildren. The staff do a good job with mowing and keeping the campground nice. It’s pretty clear however that even though camping fees were raised a few years back, funding for the park doesn’t seem to trickle down south. The asphalt roads in the campground are not safe for children to ride bikes on and the playground has so many large roots growing within it that tripping is a guarantee. How about a little funding consideration for this Southern Illinois gem!
