Jefferson Ridge

Awesome park with great sights, very clean well kept park. We always see deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Yes and we have had the pleasure of seeing egles. Park hosts are the best.

The area and the park are beautiful. I stayed in site 7 in early September on a very fall like, temp wise, four day weekend. I stayed in a tent. My site had the best shade of all the water front site. The park could have used a mowing. The bath room for the loop was not the cleanest (hand soap provided but bugs and loose toilet paper squares on the floor), and was not cleaned while I was there, but it was not disgusting. Loop one does not have a shower, but loop two does. However, it is quite the hike to get there from loop one. The water was down and didn’t seem all that clean in the cove that loop one is located in. I was kayaking in the morning in the fog on the lake. Note: Site 6 was level for my neighbors 24 ft RV. To sum up the park is beautiful with some opportunities.

Staff was very friendly and helpful

The place was empty on a Friday night during the summer with just a handful of campers registered. The place is pristine, and well run by the hosts, etc. BUT....

In today's world, everyone has the need to stay in touch with family or work via cellphones or the internet which can be achieved through a cellphone signal, making a cellphone signal the primary requirement for us.

At Jefferson Ridge, which would otherwise get a rating of 5, cellphone service ranged from zero to bare minimum for a minute or two, depending on where you might be standing at the moment or if you were just lucky for a moment.

From a safety standpoint, not being able to contact the outside world in case of an emergency or for mere convenience of communication, takes this park off our list of places to stay.

With the dollars lost from potential attendees for the simple reason cited, some sort of technology could be easily installed to provide a mini-tower, directional antenna, or such to join the rest of the world.

Nice spot. Good sitting area. Close to bathrooms.
