. The restrooms were very clean but there was no soap in the restrooms and The lights in restrooms were not working. The ranger lady was very sweet and informative. She recommended tte Merlin bird app that helped Mae our stay enjoyable.

Ratcliff is a beautiful and peaceful spot in the tall pines. We always enjoy our days there, walking, fishing, sitting, and just soaking up Nature.

This is a very nice place to stay with beautiful surroundings. The bathroom facilities were clean but cold as it was in January when we stayed here. There was hot water in the shower but no heat in the room. Sites are spaced generously and I do not think it would feel crowded even if the campground was full. We enjoyed it.

We had a beautiful campsite and enjoyed the quiet, the scenery, and the trails. We had water and electricity at our site. We did use the bathrooms and showers and they were clean and worked fine, though the shower was barely warm.

The park is really beautiful. I really wish that this park had 50-amp service, instead of just 30 amp. It really makes it difficult to visit in the hot summer months if you have a 50-amp rig.

Clean an well maintained camping area. The site was comfortably sized for a large 5th wheel. Overall a good experience.

We love Ratcliff, this is a secluded park that is well manicured always clean with some of the cleanest bathrooms around with hot showers. Nice swimming area but remember its a lake, two wooden fishing piers and wonderful hiking trails. Excellent paved roads great for bike riding with the kids. Reasonably priced with beautiful sites.

The young man who was the host was excellent—always friendly, the bathrooms were always clean, and it was easy to get questions answered !

Great place to camp!

We had an excellent visit! The only problem was we didn't stay long enough. This is a place you can truly relax among the trees, enjoy the wildlife, and ignore the outside world.

Nice area. No check in office/gate. Honor pay box. There were what looked like camp hosts but we had no interaction with them or what they actual did here. Showers/bathroom dated and fairly clean at first when we arrived but the next day someone defecated on the floor and smeared feces around. Also a pickup truck came in and unloaded a large amount of trash near our site #19 in Dogwood Loop. Since there is no controls to who enters the area or what time of the day we were not feeling real secure. Area had many trees down, grass needed cutting, and it seemed that they were attempting to fix the issue with the trees. It isn't one of the better maintained national forest areas we have been to.
It is a 30-40 minute ride to Crockett, TX to any sizable store or eateries. Water-electric typical with no problems. Our site was level enough without need for blocks.
