Large camp sites, good distance between each site. Good lake, nice facilities at the lake with beach area. Some Trails along lake not well maintained, lots poison Ivy all around!

Stayed at the Pine Ridge Campground for 3 nights 13 electric sites , 25 non electric. Water available at check in station. Fire pits and picnic tables at each site. Pea gavels on sites most are level. Some will fit a small Rv 25-30 ft. No dump station. 20/30/50 amp At electric sites. 10$ a night. No reservations first come first serve. Vaulted toilets which where very clean. The campground was clean and rangers came by a couple times. Pounds Hollow lake is right down the road 1/4 of a mile.

Love Pounds Hollow and Pine Ridge Campground. My son and I have been camping in Southern Illinois for 8 years now. This is always a must hit campground for us. It has great facilities and the beach is a perk. Also your within 15-20 minutes of Garden of The Gods.

I loved the campground a lot of fun things to go do within a 25min drive from fishing kyacking hiking eating only thing I really could complain about no showers but they had a hand pump that had fresh water I just washed off using that other than that I will definitely go back again

The camp sites were very nice - large enough for a large tent and two vehicles. Each site had a picnic table, fire ring with grate, and a pole with hooks for lamps. Electric is available at the first loop of sites. The only trouble I had was with payment. There were multiple signs saying make sure your payment drops all the way down into the post but there was some sort of insane sticky substance at the mouth of the opening that prevented this. I even tried using another envelope to shove that one down but couldn't get it to budge. Super gross and bizarre. I am just hoping for the best I guess?

Beautiful place. Nice and quiet. With the lake right down the road, rim rock trail from the lake and Garden of the Gods 30mins away. You can't beat this campground. The gap bar and grill just down the road has amazing food

Beautiful spot. Campgrounds are well maintained and campsites are spaced well enough apart. Went during the week and we had the whole place to ourselves. There's water available at the entrance, no restrooms or shower facilities but it's a great tent camping site if that's your thing. The scenery is just amazing. You have to see the lake!

Quiet and pitch black on a weeknight. Lots of animals stopped by our campsite when the fire was out. We prefer this to other sites in Garden of the Gods. The fire rings and really frustrating though, bring your own setup. Don't buy wood at the outpost, either, it's always wet!
