Really nice campground. Only complaint was the driveway area to park our pop up camper was on a pretty severe slope (had to do some creative leveling!) and the pavement was partially missing. Also, glad at least some of the water spigots worked (but better than the other campground which I heard had no water).

The camp host was exceptional. However, the campsite as well as the path to the bathroom had awful rutted out tripping hazards. In fact, I fell on the way to the bathroom. The huge gap between the asphalt and the dirt pathway was hidden by grass/weeds and in bright sun, you could not see that 2-3 inch gap.
Also, site 10 is not level at all, not from front to back or from side to side. The first night we almost were pole vaulted out of the trailer because when you stepped out of the trailer, you were on a hill that keeps on going down to the tables. We repositioned the trailer as best we could and place a step stool to make it safer. I've been camping at Rampart Reservoir for at least 5 years and have never seen the campground in such a terrible state of repair. I'll never camp at site 10 again. I hope no one gets hurt at that site, it is wrought with danger.

The road is crazy washboard, no tent pad slept on a hill. Wind blew crazy, camp host was awesome and everything was clean.

Great site with a great view of the lake, however there are no bear boxes at the campground and there was a bear that raided someone's cooler in the AM. Food has to be stored in your vehicle unfortunately.

We loved Thunder Ridge. Close enough to Woodland Park, yet far enough to feel like you got out into the woods. Great place to stay and great accommodations.
