My husband and I agree - this was the most wonderful camp site we've ever had. A shady, large, clean, flat site with a charcoal grill, cooktop table, fire pit and a picnic table. The best part, was the little path leading to our own little private beach on the lake. The campground was clean and quiet, the sites were a good distance apart (not jammed together like many commercial campgrounds). The campground had a nice paved road that I took advantage of for a run one morning. I really wished we had more time to spend here, it was truly enjoyable.

Staff is very friendly and eager to help. I enjoy all the campsites but do not like the clay water on the side where sites 6-29 are.

Campsite fine. Water completely muddy. Hardly able to walk in the water secondary to being mired down in mud. Bathhouse ok on cleanliness but needs updating. People at checkin rude. Took my pass away a day early because I was putting up my camper even though I paid for Sunday night and should have access until Monday check out. Beach access same muddy mess. Neighbors had their dogs fighting the entire time and people parking blocking the shared drive, but it was obvious they were buddies with the host campers so the rules didn’t apply. They were quick to report my parents to the host camper for pulling up their pontoon temporarily and “not being on our section of the beach” meanwhile there was plenty of coastline/beach for them. Extremely rude to my daughter about it rather than coming to see the adults about an issue. Had to stay at ridge road because we couldn’t find anywhere else with it being July 4th weekend, but don’t worry we won’t be back.

We spent 4 days and 3 nights on site 64 and it is beautiful. It is large and had direct access to the lake, so we were able to put in our kayaks right form the camp site. After taking a bike ride around the campgrounds you see that all of the sites have a view of the lake.
The park host were very friendly and helpful. We had a conversation with a park ranger who gave ideas on what to see in the area. The campgrounds and facilities are clean.
I would suggest a drive to the Visitors Center. This drive will take you over the dam. The scenic views are fantastic. If you enjoy sunrises and sunsets, you will love this park.

We go to Ridge Road Campround at least 3 times a year. We really love the camping atmosphere. We had our favorite site for 4 years and now we are exploring other sites.

Had a wonderful time. Only complaint was the wind. Our site was ravaged by the wind but on the other side of the campground barely felt any wind. So I'd rather stay on that side the next trip. It was all around a great experience for our family of 4. It was our kids 1st camping trip (ages 11 &6) and they are so excited to come back.

We had a great stay at Ridge Rd Campground. We had some bad weather the first night but otherwise it was very pleasant. The attendants were nice and helpful. The restrooms and showers were clean. Recommend avoiding the hot summer months but spring time was very pleasant.
