I love this campsite. I think this was our 4th visit. It's an adventure to get out there but that's part of the fun if you know what to expect.

I really enjoyed this campsite. The drive in was very straightforward (especially if you watch the YouTube video). The creek was low since we haven't had any rain lately. It was extremely private- some occasional far off car noise and dogs barking but otherwise a wonderful spot in the woods. Plenty of room for multiple tents or vehicles. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Another amazing evening on the bluff. Quite, peaceful location with just enough off roading to get your vehicle dirty.

This was our 3rd or 4th trip to the site. It's a beautiful location and the road in is an (unmarked and unlabeled) adventure. I would ignore Chelsea H's advice- she clearly knows how to drive her 2wd CRV! We had a lifted Tundra in our group that took on so much mud it did an alternator on the way home and we had to have it towed....

Awesome place. Loved the view and location. Will go back. You do need something with clearance to get to it. I didn't have to put it in 4wd.

This was our first time in a travel trailer so needed somewhere that had easy facilities. We didn't think we would find anywhere since it was Labor Day weekend, but then found River Ridge. The campground is very easy to get to and each site is a pull through. The grounds are very well kept, sites clean and level. Bathrooms were spotless. They had water slides for the kids and bingo for the adults. Will definitely visit here again.

We recently spent the weekend at this campground and had a truly relaxing and peaceful experience. If you're looking for a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle, this place is perfect. The sites were well-spaced, allowing for privacy and minimal noise from neighbors. It was so refreshing to wake up to the sound of birds instead of traffic!
The surroundings were beautifully maintained, with lots of trees providing shade and a sense of seclusion. The staff was friendly and helpful without being intrusive.
Whether you're camping solo, as a couple, or with family, this is a great spot to unwind and recharge. We spent our days reading, walking nearby trails, driving along the lake's winding roads, and enjoying the calm atmosphere.

Great way to relax. Property appears to be expanding, so more potential on the way. Plenty of ways to access the lake, as well as plenty of space at each spot for any RV.

Really great camp spot. Butterflies, beautiful creek and magical all around. Completely surrounded by nature. Spent the day in the water and the evening watching fireflies all throughout the trees.

One of the best campsites my husband and I have stayed at for sure! Absolutely beautiful and private, and we’d defiantly stay there again. We did get flooded out though so if you are staying during the rainy season I’d keep an eye on the creek but other than that it was the perfect site.

The drive to the site was a fun little adventure—definitely muddy and rutted, but totally expected with the recent rain. We made it just fine in a 2WD Honda CR-V; just gotta know how to drive 😎.
Once there, the views were absolutely incredible! We cooked up steak and potatoes, made s'mores by the fire, and just soaked it all in. Heard a bobcat overnight, which was wild, but nothing came close to camp. There was plenty of brush and dead limbs around for firewood, and the fire area even had stones already set up.
We brought along our 6-month-old pup and camped with a tent and hammock—had the best time. Cozy, scenic, and just enough wilderness to feel like a real escape.
Highly recommend if you’re up for a bit of rugged fun!

Super fun spot to camp, extremely private & tucked away. Be mindful of your tent placement if rain is in the forecast as half the campsite floods 2-3” of water (found out the hard way!) haha! Makes for a better story later on. The creek is amazing & the drive down into the site is so fun.

Big Tussle Creek was a very fun experience for my family this Easter Weekend. Even our 4 year old had a blast on the creek walks and swimming. Definitely will be back!

Incredible spot! Lots of room for multiple tents if needed. Private with amazing views of the surrounding area. Highly recommend!
We went after some heavy rains and 4x4 was most certainly required.
