Jefferson Ridge

We camped on loop 2 close to the lake. Hardly any trees near us. We were told there had been a storm and it wiped out the trees. 😢 Our group had three campsites and all 3 needed an extra water hose to be able to reach the water outlet. Other than that it was a great trip!

We love Jefferson ridge. The park is well maintained and we love the lake. Camp host and rangers always stop by and visit, usually bringing gifts for the kids!

All of our contacts with staff and campground hosts were pleasant, friendly and helpful. Campgrounds are clean and well maintained. Staff provided excellent information about weather events.

Overall, the site was adequate, nearly comparable in size and spacing to state park sites. There was a new concrete pad for the picnic table and fire ring. Very large and nice. Also it had a new gravel pad for a vehicle. The spot for the trailer had rather old broken up asphalt. No trees around this specific site. This site had room for 3 vehicles and was around 38' long. The water for this site was a little far away, roughly 50'. Each of the sites had slightly different attributes, some all of it was paved, others had different areas paved than this one. Generally, the loop had areas going into disrepair. The playground by the lake had a lot of rust that caused parts to be broken. The restroom was always soaking wet with standing water on the floor. I believe they hosed it down every day, but the floor isn't sloped for the water to drain properly, so it always had 1/4" of water in it. Also, the ventilation couldn't handle that much humidity, so it was like walking into a pool with water dripping down the walls. The amenities were some of the worst we have seen. Unless you really like Dierks Lake, I'd suggest going elsewhere. The best site at the loop was site 29.

Beautiful location. The folks at the front gate are terrific.
