Oh Ridge Campground

"I once went here and got a kayak out on the lake. Me and my cousins went out upon the lake aboard it, not knowing the fate that lay ahead. We paddled and paddled, with each stroke getting farther from shore and closer to the center. Alas all was lost, for we had not the strength to fight the ever so still and calm waters. upon one unexpected shove from my comrades... we flipped. Holding on to the kayak for dear life, not knowing what lay in the 3 WHOLE FEET between us and the bottom, we pondered all the creatures that could possibly be lurking in this FAMILY FRIENDLY and ever so RECREATIONAL water. Hurriedly we swam towards the shore, panic ensuing. As we felt the blessed sand beneath our toes we rejoiced. very fun, 5 stars!! :)))"

"Gorgeous camping ground with mountain views right by the lake. Clean men & women’s bathrooms with lights on 24 hours and running water. Potable water spouts were near us, as well as firewood conveniently for sale. Each camping spot that we saw had a metal picnic table and a fire pit that you can grill over. Really close to good hikes, trails, and of course, the lake itself. There is a small town 5-10 minutes away in case you need to pick up a few things or want a quick bite to eat. Highly recommend!"

"We arrived on Labor day to camp for one night. We didn’t have a reservation, but upon arrival (after hours) there was a sign will available camp spots, so we got a place inside Bear Loop. The views were great, there was running drinking water, and nice bathrooms. Bear Loop was a great location because there was a lakeside view directly from where we pitched our tents."

"There's no other way to say this. This place is run by out and out racists. I can see their bizarre and antiquated registration system and refusal to use any sort of technology of any kind as quaint. I can accept their use only of cash and money orders as old world charm if incredibly inconvenient (and convenient at tax time). What is unforgivable is their disgusting and blatant racism. As a white male I have seen firsthand how differently they treated me Vs my Hispanic wife. They will serve everyone around but not my wife or her family. They treat her with nothing but condescension and rudeness. This time they actually ordered her to leave after she politely asked them to finish her registration after they had ignored her for a while. Not only racist but bigoted too. They actually said to my wife "what make is your car". Reply "Tesla", "no that's not the make","yes it's a Tesla", "go and ask your husband what make his car is". Yet despite that we have been there several years in a row because it's fairly affordable and has more availability than the public site nearby. The location is great, the lake is beautiful even if it gets very busy. They were finally ordered to install bear boxes, probably after a great tore through the site a couple of years ago and pulled apart people's coolers and cars. The sooner this place gets taken over and good people are allowed to run it the better. A tragic waste of a great location."

"Each member in our group enjoyed the location but had a terrible experience with the campground host on gull loop. Older gentleman yelled at our group to see all of our parking permits and wanted to count each of us at the site… Mind you there was a bigger group of young boys next door? Once we spoke up about his demeanor he started to calm down. I hope staff and camp look into the way he treats guests here. Beautiful lake and great campground just a terrible host…"
