Used to be our favorite park to camp. Staff is great and very friendly. Maintenance around the park has been lacking over the last couple of years. Trees that have fallen are just left lying around and the grass is infrequently mowed and then only around camp sites.

The leveling of the site was amazing. The lake level was a little low so we didn't get to enjoy the fun experience. Overall we were very satisfied with the campground.

Loved our site, but a lot of debris was all over the campgrounds from prior storms. It made the place look a bit sloppy which it usually is not. New bath facility is very nice. Lake is low and I got 2 dings in my boat prop just picking up passengers at the dock. The dock should be moved further into the lake so there is more than 2' of water at the dock. We ended up having to load passengers by wading out on the boat ramp...NOT GOOD!

Site 75 - Very clean and the spots were really large. Quiet. We didn’t have good reception at our site for T-Mobile. Verizon we got 3 bars on 4g. Closer to the gate you can get better reception.

The Army Corp of Engineers has given up on Bald Bridge Campground. Grass is 2+ feet high in your camp site and down trees have not been removed. Very sad to see the condition of this beautiful campground. The Campground host are very nice, but the lack of maintenance is not in their control.

Love this campground, but we are extremely disappointed with the upkeep of this park. Weeds knee high around campsites and debris still all over park from storm 1 month ago. Something needs to change!

Bald Ridge use to be our favorite campground but due to budget issues they have let it run down. They don’t cut the grass and haven’t cleaned the fire pits in our last 3 visits. We now take our own blower and weed eater to cut and clean the site. Very depressing how they are letting it go. Also, no one man’s the checkin after 5-6 so anyone can just come in, they can camp on an empty site and leave the next morning and nobody will know. Again, a little extra unsafe…..
They need to get their act together and bring back the campgrounds.
