We love going to Ruark bluff west. we’ve been going there for about 20 years now. The only thing I have a problem with is the dogs that aren’t on a leash. Last year 2 dogs attacked our dog which is on a leash and on this trip a dog tried to attack our dog So I think they need to post the leash policy all over the park.

Camping grounds were nice but grass needed to be mowed.
Bathrooms/Showers were nice and big.
I wish they had water hookups at each campsite.
It would be nice if they had a boat ramp at the Camping area.

Our campsite was great. But trying to modify our reservation was a disaster!

Stayed on west side site 35. It had rained recently, and our site was a mudd hole. No camp host available so we couldn't switch spots.
