Site 42 was really nice! Shaded, next to the amphitheater, and a close enough walk to the bathroom.

The site itself is very nice. Right behind the campsite was a stage area where my partner says had an outlet. The flushing toilets were nice and clean with ample toilet paper. We had a water spout on the front of our campsite which our neighbors across from us used because they didn't have one. I didn't mind this, but what I did mind was how they played loud music and partied until 2AM. This was the only part that gave us a bad experience because it kept me up and I couldn't enjoy the sounds of nature. They were also yelling and scream singing, and the girls were crying and throwing up. I wish there was some type of authority/ranger that would drive around and make sure campers aren't this obnoxious. All in all, I would come here again because the amenities were awesome and the views are nice. Hopefully we'll have better camping neighbors next time.

Beautiful little campground. Only 1/2 full due to Covid. Spacious sites and most sites shaded.

Halloween Weekend camping! This was such a fun, (and let's face it) MUCH needed escape from the world!! This was our first time at Oak Grove & won't be the last! The site was beautiful, shady and had pretty great access to a a lot. Ribbonwood loop indeed has flushing toilets! We saw rabbits, lizards, a giant weird potato bug and a literal flock of wild turkeys!!! We couldn't see them, but you could hear ducks in the nearby pond pretty much all day. At the hottest time of the day, you'd see ants flocking to the dogs' water bowls; but not fire ants, so cool. It was really, really dry and dusty; which is probably just the season, but it was definitely dry. Unfortunately, the nearby trail heads were still closed because of fire season, but we made do, to keep ourselves entertained. The camaraderie of the host, Rick, (I see why everyone loves this man!) and other campers was SO great!! Probably the best! Being Halloween, lots of folks were dressed up and we all kinda did little parades around the loop, it was a lot of fun. Everyone stayed with their own groups, we were all socially distanced and still had a great time being dressed up and shouting Happy Halloween to everyone we saw. Only about half the sites were filled (a covid measure) but honestly, it was so perfect and quiet and we really enjoyed ourselves. A one-of-a-kind experience for us all, I think?
