Let me start by saying we absolutely love Baldridge Creek Campground and have camped there for several years. However, this trip not so much. We had power issues the first night and did not discover until 10 pm. We worked on it for over an hour and in desperation, I went to one of the Camp Attendants who was not really helpful and actually ended up being quite rude and had no empathy with my dilemma, bascially he was upset that I woke him up and said as much. My husband is disabled (he has dementia) and it was imperative that we had power for his CPAP which is vital for his condition. The option I was given was to move our camper in the middle of the night to an emergency spot. Which would have caused trauma to my husband. He doesn't handle unexpected change. Thankfully my family was also camping there and we had to crash on their couch for the night. The next day the attendant did come by to check on the situation and still was questioning if there was a problem, as if we were lying about the situation. A family member that worked on the breaker with me came by and also confirmed that we had a faulty breaker and he kept stating that the previous people had no issue but he could not confirm if they were using the same 30 amp or the 50 amp....basically we ended up moving 3 times until they repaired the breaker 3 days later. So please be aware that if you camp here and have any issues you can't fix yourself. You're ON YOUR )WM. Oh and I am in Customer Service and have been for 30 years. This particular attendant needs a refresher course.
During the pandemic we ended up staying at owner/private campgrounds and I guess we got spoiled to the good Customer Service, the personal friendly people and the immaculate bathrooms, which Baldridge sadly lacks.
Lesson learned, you get what you pay for.....

Bald Ridge is my favorite park. I love all the green grass and the family atmosphere. We had lot 69 and it was great. Very level and convenient, plenty of access to the water. I hope to stay on 69 again.

Site was not clean. We found several items (cigarette butts, beer caps, pieces of plastic) not picked up.

Nice campground with many boat access sites. However, many trees that have fallen or been cut down need to be removed from water access or campsite. We have been camping there for years and a few trees down didn’t bother us but now there are many. Please clean up and make it safer for families.
Thanks

Beautiful campground with great water access. I was in site #69 which was very large and well distanced from other sites. The Hosts were friendly and visibly as well as local law enforcement which made at least one pass through the park everyday during the week of July 5 - 11. Me and my family will definitely camp here again.

Great views of the lake. Only thing making it perfect would be sewer hookups at the site.

The campground is clean and sites are nice sized. The staff is knowledge and friendly and the lake access is great whether you are towing a boat or launching kayaks. We always have a great time there!
