What Guests Are Saying

Tracy Ridge is praised for its spacious, private sites nestled in a quiet, wooded area, making it ideal for relaxation and nature enthusiasts. The well-marked trails offer great hiking opportunities, and the fire pits are well-stocked, enhancing the camping experience. However, some visitors noted the lack of modern amenities like showers and a dump station, along with occasional issues like overgrown grass and bugs, especially during busy holiday periods.

A very nice, quiet campground. Very lightly used, and with judicious site selection you will not be able to see or hear your neighbors. A few caveats:

- There was only one operating water pump (loop E), and the water is reddish colored due to high iron content - you may want to bring your own.
- The picnic table at my campsite (110) was damaged - the bench on one side is missing, and the rest of it definitely had seen better days.
- There is no playground for children, and it would be very easy for a little one to wander into the woods and get lost.
- At my campsite, there was no clearly delineated tent pad, and the ground seems to have a subtle slope. I had to move my tent around a couple of times before I found an even patch.
- There was no campground host that I saw (albeit I didn’t spend any real time looking) and no ice or firewood available for purchase onsite. Both ice and wood are available for purchase at Willow Bay Campground (~10 minute drive). For other supplies, your best bet is Bradford (~30 minute drive).
- I had decent cell service at my site (AT&T - 1-2 bars) but this may vary by site and provider.

Tracy Ridge is about as close to a remote wilderness experience as you can get while car-camping at an established campground. If you like Mother Nature, you can get along without flush toilets and showers, and you’re prepared to be a little more self-sufficient than might be the case at other campgrounds, Tracy Ridge is a very nice campground, and I will definitely be back.

Great campsites
Not crowded
Pit toilets worst we’ve seen
Only one working pump and water heavy on iron so glad we brought our own

Overall we love Tracy Ridge and have camped there many times. Over Memorial Day weekend 2023 the single small dumpster was full on Friday and overflowing on Saturday. It wasnt fully emptied until Wednesday. The bathrooms in Loop B were out of toilet paper on Sunday and only partially restocked on Tuesday with 2 rolls. There is no water pump on Loop B. The campground needs a much larger dumpster or at least a second one. I think you can do better!

I love this campground - it is beautiful, secluded, and quiet. Be prepared for a primitive camping experience and you'll be fine (bring your own toilet paper ;) )

Really nice and peaceful park, with large private sites, and low crowds (especially during the week). Water is funky looking (iron I think) but it IS well water and the forest service says it’s safe to drink.8

The campsite was in poor shape - 2 boards missing from the picnic table and holes in the side of the fire ring. Was told it had a shower but there was none. Found out after I left that campus at Tracy Ridge can use the showers at Willow Bay. In general Tracy Ridge looks like USACE is giving the whole campground back to mother nature.

Mostly private sites with very clean latrines and well-maintained trails nearby. Everyone was surprisingly quiet after 10pm. I was impressed with the quiet especially: it was like we were alone after dark.
