Beautiful area. Each campground has a fire pit/grill. Bathrooms are clean & most spots have great shade. Jan was super helpful & friendly!

This was our first time visiting this campground. We have a 24 foot travel trailer and stayed in site #9. Its a back-in site but the angle is impossible to back-in so we just pulled straight in. The parking pad at this particular site is also not level whatsoever so our trailer stairs didnt even reach the ground. It does have a nice flat dirt pad by the fire ring for tents however, so it would be a much better spot for tent camping. The womens vault toilet was very clean and did not smell at all, but my husband and son said the mens toilet was full of flies everywhere and would land on their bare bums while using the toilet. The campground host Sue was very nice and we saw her driving around the campground multiple times a day to check in on everyone. The trail down to the reservoir is beautiful and an easy hike. The dirt road to get to the campground is a complete washboard and very bumpy, but they were grading it when we left which was a much easier drive, especially towing our trailer. The views are gorgeous and we did get a bit of thunder and rain every afternoon we were there. Overall we will definitely be back, just never in site #9 (again its perfect for tent campers though). If you have an RV or trailer, sites 10 and 11 are pull-through and completely level and have an amazing view of the lake. Site 7 is level and pull-through as well, just without the lake view. There is no dump station at this campground either.

Great camping area. We ended up walking around the whole reservoir the first day. Then we had a great time kayaking on the reservoir. The campground was quiet, peaceful, and very enjoyable.

I love the Thunder Ridge campground, great sites and not too crowded, with easy access to the reservoir. The host kept the sites maintained after each group, and bathrooms were clean as well. She was also available to purchase wood. And check-in at the entrance was a breeze.

Campsite wasn't quite clean when we got there. Pavement all broken very difficult to level even small trailer!!
