Ridge Campground At Cook Forest

FYI if you need to fill up on water do so at the fresh water pump right before the dump station. Most pumps throughout the park do not have threads for a hose. Camp ground was beautiful and very clean. Playground was nice and our kiddos(6 & 3) loved it. Some spots are definitely better than others but overall very nice.

Nice and not so nice sites. Bathrooms need updating. Very well patrolled by Rangers. Roads are updated and great for smaller wheels like skating. Short drive to tubing and such rental downstream.

Beautiful place. Site 186 is in the back of the campground and provides nice privacy. The neighboring sites are reasonably spaced and the extra parking area is close if you're bringing multiple vehicles. There is no prepared tent pad but the space is flat and spacious. Restrooms are also nearby and clean. Firewood was reasonably priced and well stocked. Our stay was cut short by some very heavy rain. Site 186 will flood with 3+ inches of water near the picnic table and fire pit. But other than that, it is a very nice place to stay.

This is maybe my favorite state campgrounds to visit. It's very well laid out, and well maintained. I like that they have everything from primitive, to full hookups camp sites available. They have pet areas and no pet areas available. My experience is that most campers in state campgrounds are very friendly. My wife and I enjoy walking around the grounds. Their bathhouses are accessable from anywhere in the park. They're definitely dated, but still well built to suit your needs.

My girlfriend and I started camping 3 years ago, and having visited Cook Forrest as a kid, I figured it would be a good place to start. We go as much as we possibly can and lobe it here every time. It is our home away from home. We have met new friends and have brought existing friends as well. Family comes to visit even if they don't stay the night just because it's a beautiful place to be. I can not recommend this place enough! Great for tent camping to full hook up. Pick your poison and kick your feet back by the fire.
