Weekend Trip to Wild Wolf Ridge

We loved staying here! It was nice and secluded. Didn’t have any interactions with anybody else. Beautiful views, sunsets, and starry skies. Loved all of the special touches that have been added…the firepit location, the swings and gazebo, the lights that came on at night. Highly recommend!

3 nights at Wild Wolf Ridge

I really enjoyed my time at wild wolf. It was a nice flat area to bring my small camper. There is a small fire ring fir when there isn't fire restrictions. There is a couple hammock type swing chairs that are really nice to relax in with a great view.
