What Guests Are Saying
Thunder Ridge Campground is praised for its beautiful setting, clean facilities, and friendly hosts, particularly Jan, who provides excellent service. Campers appreciated the well-maintained restrooms and the peaceful atmosphere, with many enjoying nearby hiking trails and the stunning reservoir views. However, some noted challenges with site sizes for tents, difficult access roads, and occasional strong winds, yet most expressed a desire to return.

Beautiful and quiet. Hike to the lake is a bit steep but beautiful.

We enjoyed our stay a lot. Our lot was clean and not too close to others. The host was very friendly and approachable. The reason I gave a four star is because the road to the camp
site was horrendously and poorly grated. It was so hard on our truck and trailer and took a long time to to drive the few miles.

The campground was great. Sites are far enough apart that you feel you're almost alone. Nice trail down to the lake.
