I loved camping on the Bate's Farm. Wayne was a great host. The facility had a great balance of rustic nature and modern amenities. The land was peaceful and natural. Each site was private and included a fire pit, picnic table, and trash bin. Free showers, laundry, and a playground were also available.

My friends and I had so much fun camping on Faye's land. We were a group of 6 people and 4 dogs and booked 2 sites. We were fortunate enough to be the only campers that weekend. The sites are unmarked and there wasnt a clear separation of the sites (e.g. treeline) so we were a bit confused where each of our sites were. But seeing as we were the only campers, we set up camp on what we all presumed was one of our sites. I imagine if there were other campers with us that it wouldn't be as private since the sites are pretty much open. There are trees spread out sporadically but not enough to cover your view to another site. Faye was kind enough to leave us firewood and there were enough fallen limbs and logs on the ground to forage for more when we needed. Now onto the BEST part: the creek. The creek was STUNNING and the stream was super lively. All of us (and our dogs) LOVED wading and swimming in the creek. The water was so clear and refreshing to the touch. AND we spotted an otter swimming in it!!! Such an awesome and unforgettable experience! I would book with Faye again for another camping trip with a large group, especially if we are the only ones there :).

The ride to our camp site was amazingly beautiful down a trail. Once we got to our campsite it was beautiful open grassy area woodsy trails open nature pluse stargazing. Each campsite sets far back from each other for more privacy. This is true nature camping experience we loved it. Our host was very helpful and we will certainly come back. It's going to be gorgeous when the leaves start changing.

I loved camping here at Bates Farm! It was a very peaceful and spacious primitive site where you can really feel more immersed in nature. Mary and her husband were very hospitable and made sure to alert us whenever archers were on the range. I will definitely love to come back to participate in the 3D archery here in the future. Highly recommended, it was a cool experience.

Lindsey’s was perfect for us, a full hook up with beautiful views and a great creek. Lindsey is the perfect host and came and said hi when we got there to make sure all was good. We will definitely be back and highly recommend :)

Loved the shade and the beautiful creek. We waded like kids looking at the crawfish and creek life. Slept like babies to the sound of the falls. Thank you for a peaceful weekend!

Loved this campsite and its close proximity to several great hiking trails! The running creek water made for the perfect sleep sound and it was nice to have access to a bathroom! Not to mention, my dog enjoyed being off leash and bringing me all the sticks he could find.

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.

The place is so pretty. The sites are level and so peaceful. We also loved the creek! The only bad part is we encountered several wasp nest and I did get stung. There was a huge nest in the provided grill, in the electric box, and another one in the logs that were provided for the fire ring. This is to be expected this time of year so be sure to bring wasp spray!

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.

The views were pretty and the constant noise of the creek was so calming. A nice relaxing place to stay on our way through. Be sure to check yourself throughly for ticks. Me and my partner checked each other and found 3+ ticks on me. One already attached

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.

Amazingly peaceful and idyllic, steps away a babbling creek. Loved it.
Have to say, the owner totally understands the assignment. He was attentive and communicated very well. We are relatively new RVers and got ourselves stuck in the mud. He spent an hour getting us out of the mud and gave us a few driving tips beside. Class act!! Don't pass this one up!!

Our stay was so peaceful and beautiful (site #3.) We were the only ones there so our old terrier lived his best life bouncing through the meadow. The creek was gorgeous but our absolute favorite magical experience was the firefly (or lightening bug) show each night. Literally like Christmas lights—the fireflies lit up in the 40 ft tall trees all around us. Super dark skies which makes for excellent star gazing. Hosts were perfect—immediately accessible when we needed them but gave us privacy for a much needed break from the grind. We love to visit new places and don’t often plan on visiting the same place twice, but this will be the exception. Cannot wait to return!
