Our spot has a gravel beach area and we floated in tubes right there. Loved our spot. Close to drinking water. No shade at this space though.

One of our favorite campgrounds close to home. We have tent camped and stayed in our camper. The tent sites are some of our favorites. There are areas to walk right into the water and rocks to jump off. The fishing isn't too bad.

A lot of memories have been made here. I've been a lot of places across the US, and I always look forward to coming back to Ruark Bluff.

Need better cell reception. Desperate need for handicap bathrooms to be updated. Need a couple of handicap, electrical sites that are near the water and you don't have to walk so far. The park was neat and clean and the parkground managers were very nice and helpful.

Shower house sink was leaking into the middle of the floor. Red wasps nesting around shower house and several campsite lantern poles. Grass needed mowed. Campsite was good though. Plenty of shade and trees for hammocks. Local sheriffs and park ranger patrolling and keeping everyone safe. Campground host was very friendly and helpful.
