Pikes Ridge is highly praised as a clean, well-maintained campground with beautiful views and friendly hosts, making it a favorite for many families over the years. Guests appreciate the spacious shower facilities, peaceful atmosphere, and excellent access to water activities like kayaking and fishing. Some minor concerns include the narrow access road and occasional noise from generators, but these do not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.

The campsites were well maintained. I loved being close to the water. It was nice having trash picked up regularly. The bathrooms and showers were so clean and well stocked. I have never been to a campsite that was so well cared for. Thanks!

The road getting to Pike's Ridge while recently resurfaced is a bit narrow. Passing when one big camper passes a large boat or another camper is a bit tenuous.
The campground experience is 5 stars...no question about it.

The campground, itself was great, as usual, and the addition of a shower house was a welcome site! My only complaint is regarding my neighbors; RVs using the tent sites, running loud generators all night long and all day long. It really does diminish the whole experience of camping next to the lake. I wish people were more considerate of others, and tried to put themselves in other people's shoes. If you are going to run a generator for two days/nights straight, consider getting a camping spot that is not traditionally used for tent camping. You may be cosy in your quiet RV, but those of us in the tents are being tortured by your out-of-date, loud generator.

Pike Ridge is our favorite campground. Quieter and peaceful, situated right on Green River Lake, beach access and boat access and ramp. It also has a bath house now. We love it!

Beautiful, CLEAN and friendly environment. Real close to the water where we used the complimentary boat dock each night to dock our pontoon boat. Exquisite sunrise and sunset viewing location. Waking up on the banks of the lake made for a real relaxing trip. Easy to navigate to park and setup our Popup Camper. Fire pit, lantern holder, picnic table with a wide and long drive, and OMG the shade trees kept the heat down as day was long. It’s a site that we will reserve again and again on Green River Lake for years to come. My wife and I really enjoyed our 3 night stay at site #7.
