Great experience. No problems noted.

We really like this park. It has what we need and is convenient on our travels. I was disappointed that i didn't see the trail map before I went hiking, and I ended up turning around, not realizing that I was almost at the other end of the trail. I didn't want to continue on the long 4C trail.

The spots were nice but the bathroom was not. It was not cleaned the 6 days we were there. No toliet paper so we had to bring our own everytime we walked to the restrooms. Floors were HORRIBLE!! Showers were HORRIBLE!!Plus alot of Spiders and Bugs in there also. Not sure we will go back.

Lovely location but the slick, moss covered timbers left me with a fractured arm!

Spent 3 nights Sun - Weds in late March in the Dogwood Loop with electric and water hookups. Although the campground is old and could use some road work and campsite repairs, the sites are spacious and level and afford nice privacy in nature. Bath house is clean and showers were excellent. The lake is perfect size for kayaking and gets decent fishing action. Perfect weather and no crowds; I couldn't have asked for anything more. This was a focal stop on my monthlong spring RV trip and I will be making it part of my future trips. And for full disclosure my last name is Ratcliffe, I'll excuse the misspelling.

The campsites were far apart and we had plenty of space away from other campers. Very wooded and beautiful! We came to hike, and the trail was very well marked and covered in soft pine needles. We had to put the three trails together to make one almost 3 mile trail, but it was beautiful. Bathrooms were very nice, everything very well kept.

@JamesM9879118 · Camped on Feb 8, 2023 at Campsite #40

One of my favorites.

@KenrickS224877 · Camped on Jan 17, 2023 at Campsite #40

Camp hosts were very kind and polite. Quite and peaceful place. Some people could use some lessons in sign reading and not joy riding through camp areas.

@GregA3946377 · Camped on Dec 30, 2022 at Campsite #40

Always enjoy camping at this Campground. Great trails, beautiful views, great hiking trails, gorgeous pine forests. Can't wait until it next visit!

@RyanO7757795 · Camped on Oct 28, 2022 at Campsite #40

Beautiful tall pines everywhere. Nicely spaced lots feels very private.

@BruceT1238373 · Camped on Oct 26, 2022 at Campsite #40

My campsite was clean and nice. There was lots of noise from trucks on Hwy. 6. I was disappointed to find out about the fish consumption warning after I arrived as I intended to fish. The park is beautiful.

@ArthurBFD3625F · Camped on Oct 17, 2022 at Campsite #40

Great campground!

@PamelaD2861561 · Camped on Jan 28, 2022 at Campsite #40

Beautiful park! Sites are not too close together, and the trails are really nice. Park hosts and Natl Forest people were great. This should be registered as a Dark Sky park. Unbelievable night sky. Water spigot is more than 25 from camper in some sites.

Beautiful park! Sites are not too close together, and the trails are really nice. Park hosts and Nat’l Forest people were great. This should be registered as a “Dark Sky” park. Unbelievable night sky. Water spigot is more than 25’ from camper in some sites.

Great location for hiking and relaxing near the lake. Campsites are far apart and very spacious.

@BillyB2893951 · Camped on Dec 4, 2020 at Campsite #40

We enjoyed our stay. Ratcliff Lake is a beautiful park with lots of trees. Restrooms are clean and showers are hot. The hiking trail is pretty and easy to walk on. We found the campground hosts to be friendly and fun to chat with.

@GlennC5420826 · Camped on Nov 6, 2020 at Campsite #40

Always have a great time at Ratcliff at my favorite site!!!

@stevenb5011158 · Camped on Nov 3, 2020 at Campsite #40

Ratcliff Lake is one of my favorite parks in Texas. The campsites are large with lots of trees and the facilities are nice and clean. The lake is beautiful and there are lots of places to explore in the area.
