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.

We love Pikes Ridge. We always stay in an RV space with electric and water. There isn’t a bad spot at the campground. We were in lot 20 this time and had lots of space for the grandkids to play. The staff is so helpful and friendly. We had Verizon phone service and we averaged about two bars. Our Wally did pickup satellite signal which was very nice since it rained off and on all weekend. We love the convenient boat ramp and beach area. We will be staying there again!

Love being right on the water. The drive to the site is a bit long and curvy. But it's worth it.

Being right on the lake was great but the sites was small and cramped we couldn’t use our fire pit the whole weekends because it’s placed within 5 or 6ft from the camper next to us might consider trying another spot in the future they should consider adding at least more electric spots to the other half of the campground
