As always a wonderful experience but this time we had the best camp host ever! Jan was so pleasant, helpful, and kept the restrooms the cleanest weve ever seen anywhere. It is one of the highlights of our summer camping to go up to Thunder Ridge to relax and enjoy Gods beautiful creation!

I loved my site #11. It is a pull through with great scenery. The camp host present was doing a great job keeping up with everything. The table & tent pad are some steps down from the pull through driveway.

The camp was clean, and in a beautiful spot above the reservoir. The water provided tasted great. The access road was awful and very rough. The camp host made sure I was comfortable and gave me good information about walking around the lake. Go there, but make sure you drive the access road slowly.

Despite being woken up by a bear in the middle of the night, we had a good experience in this campground, especially considering we survived it. The place is beautiful! The toilets amazed me for how clean they were considering they were not flushing toilets. There was a sign saying the restrooms were cleaned 3 times a day and I believe it. It smelled good and it was very clean! We stayed on campsite #11, which has a beautiful view for the lake. It got super chilly during the night, which was expected for a campground at the top of a mountain. The huge downside was the bear experience. There were signs everywhere saying there were bears around. Thank God we read all the information and were able to do the things that made the bear go away. If you do not want to take the risk of having a bear experience, I would suggest you not to come to this campground.
Pros:
- beautiful place
- sites have plenty of space, ring fire, and picnic table
- clean restrooms
Cons:
- bears might visit your tent at night
- no showers or flushing toilets
- host was not on duty during our stay

All in all, it is a great place. Beautiful and clean, it is a nice campground! If it were not for the bear experience, we would have enjoyed it even more.

Stunningly beautiful.

Others wrote how bumpy the road is. Not really a problem. If you come in from the south and the Garden of the Gods it is a beautiful 17 mile ride on unpaved forest service roads so yes it's a little bumpy. If you come in from the north only a couple of miles on forest service roads.

What would have made me change to 5 stars? While the sites are fairly well spread out, not quite enough. Get a lot of neighbor noise.

At 1130 a 45 ft 5th wheel with a diesel engine got stuck trying to maneuver his in transit rig thru the campground. He was loud, using bright led flaslughts with no regard for other campers when he couldnt clear a tree, refused use of our phone that had cell service. My son ended up helping him back out of the circle and into a safer place??
