We had a great time tent camping on Nick and Teresa’s land, it was well kept and such a great location. The walk down to the dock to get into the river was the best for the Memorial Day heat.

Nice level groomed spot & Private.
Close enough to town to grab a bite to eat. The stream looked very clean though it was too cold to go in at the time we stayed there.
Perfect stop in for an Rv or even a pop up.

We absolutely loved our stay at boondock ridge!! It's a beautiful piece of property! I love how there's 2 different areas and each has its own fire pit and the top one, has wide open space for the kiddos and animals to run and enjoy! Love the little stream at the lower camp site.

What a great spot! There is 2 sites essentially one you can’t drive too but it’s right on the river and a great walking path down, we did our 1st night camping up top with the river view, then carried all our stuff down and did day 2 down below, it was a great weekend sun was shining we had a bit of rain but nothing crazy! Great hosts very accommodating and so nice we even got to stay a little longer since we had a later arrival than expected! Thank you guys again and totally recommend for your next camp!

Loved camping here, there was a ton of room for our big rig with lots of room for our dog to play catch. This Hipcamp has been our favorite so far. There were many things that was awesome about this site but what stood out was the grass was mowed, there's a big fire pit, a garbage bin, an artesian well, a well built dock, your on the river, not to mention your close to a Dollar General if you forgot something, which we did. If you don't mind driving 10-30 min there's hiking, golf course, restaurants, snowmobile trails and more. The only thing with this site, was the traffic was constant until about 9-10 pm, other than that it was great, we will definitely be back!

Everything went great and was amazing! Truly such an amazing site, options for where to set up camp, by a river it was so nice and relaxing! We will definitely be back again!! Recommend 10/10! One of the cleanest and well kept places we have camped! The stars you can see at night were insane. The first night we stayed it was unbelievable how dark that area gets, so many stars!!

Enjoyed our weekend stay, weather was lovely for April. Bathroom is very well done, clean and well decorated w/ a handsome 6 point euro mount. Top of the ridge vista is well appointed with an upgraded fire pit, picnic table, and bench seat.
Down hill along a short path is a nice dock along the river. Didn't catch any fish, maybe next time!

You can tell they take pride in their spot! You can’t get a better bathroom experience for an outhouse. Lovely fire pit, great little two person bench. Very well maintained. We are looking forward to returning!

The camping was very nice again. The wind was not good for a fire but can't mess with mother nature. We will be back. Thanks Theresa!

This is such a nice boondocking spot. The spring water and clean bathroom make it easier to stay for longer periods of time. I really appreciated the option to pay for firewood delivery as well. I enjoyed wading in the river and watching the sun set over the trees.

This was our 3rd stay at Boondock, the property was beautiful as usual! The mosquitoes are killer though so come with lots of spray, lanterns etc. Then kids liked walking up the river and floating back 😄

Beautiful land. So peaceful and perfect. My fiancée and I came here a few years ago and we loved it so we just had to come back!!! It is the perfect little roadside hideaway and I’m so happy we decided to make that part of our trip!

I enjoyed my stay at Boondock Ridge. I solo camped in my tear drop camper. This was my first Hipcamp. The host made everything clear on how to get to the site, had a pile of wood waiting for me under a tarp tucked under some trees and also recommended some areas to ride my bike. (which I didn't do because I got a flat in my bike tire! LOL)
The site was perfect! The views were great. the site overlooks the river which was clear with a sandy bottom. A short walk down to my own personal dock with a ladder to get into the water. Which was very helpful because I have bad knees and legs. The site had a fire pit, picnic table and a 2 person bench over looking the river. Great for relaxing and just enjoying the sites and sounds. The compost toilet was very nice. i never used one before. The toilet was tucked away in the woods, clean and very well kept.
I seen 2 rabbits, 4 chickens (on the side of the road) and a couple bumble bees that were having a great time in those flowers. The night time was alive with sounds of nature! good stuff.
I had to leave early due to a family emergency but will for sure be back for another stay. Thank you Nick and Teresa.

We had so much fun playing on the big lawn, going up and down the sandy bottom river, and enjoying the spectacular views. We hope to come again.

This was our third time staying at Boondock Ridge and we had a great time just like the other two.
We brought binoculars and we saw some amazing birds like a bald eagle, green heron, American redstart, gray catbird, rose breasted grosbeak, and the usual blue jays. I would highly recommend bringing binoculars and watching over that ridge.

The place was very nice and exactly as described! I wish there was a little less road noise, as it’s pretty loud with all the cars passing and the roadside park being right across the street. Other then that the dock and amenities provided was excellent.

Great spot! There is road noise but the tree lines make it feel private and the view is as pictured.
Bathroom facility super tidy and well stocked. Wood delivery was speedy and our dogs loved having the space to themselves. We would highly recommend this camp!

We have had the opportunity to stay at Boone Dock Ridge quite a few times now. The fact that we keep coming back says it all.
Gorgeous site with plenty of room and options for set up. The bottom half of the site near the water is a secret hidden gem :-)
We will be back again next year likely a few times!

This was our second trip to Boondock Ridge, and we had an amazing time! We love everything about the place, from the spacious accommodations to the stunning view of the river. Our husky/lab absolutely loves swimming in the river, and we had several clear nights to observe the stars and enjoy a roaring bonfire. The hosts are friendly and helpful, and we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

This place was a perfect place to camp! Exactly what we were looking for. Private, great view, river was great for swimming (and the dog loved it!), and clean! Close to the road but still private, we lucked out though bc the road was closed due to construction so no noise for us! This place is truly a gem!
