This has been one of our favorite places to camp for years. For the most part, people are very friendly and willing to help with any camping issues that might arise

This is a very popular campground and was full for the weekend. It is on the water and everyone had their toys out. The facilities were plentiful and clean. It's a great way to enjoy Stockton Lake.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Ruark Bluff West! We had easy access to the lake. Pets were permitted, so we brought our puppy along so he could share in the camping fun. The shower houses were decently adequate. We preferred the ADA restrooms because each had a single shower and a lock on the room door. Since there were teenage boys riding scooters through the park and hovering around the shower houses, the lock feature was nice! We drove around different areas of Stockton Lake and saw several deer grazing within a few feet of the road! Really cozy area.

The staff was very nice, the site and entire campsite was very clean, and the lake was so refreshing on a hot summer day.
