Ridge Rider Campground

After doing some research, my family decided on a day trip to Ridge Rider Campground! This was the best decision I could have made. The camp host/manager of the grounds was absolutely amazing. As newbies to RVing, we were a little nervous about our first official camping trip. John was really awesome even though it was a Holiday. He quickly recommended a different site that would better accommodate us, and when we hit a little snag with lifting our levelers, he did what he could to lend a helping hand ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!! We will absolutely be back and recommend these grounds for anyone looking to camp!

What a great family campground! We went for the halloween weekend and let me tell you the kids and us had a blast. There was never a moment when the kids were saying they were bored. Very well maintained and organized! From fishing, basketball, playground, pumpkin carving, costume contest, trick or treating, which they got a pile of candy over 20lbs and the haunted hay ride was perfect! Thank you for a great family weekend we will remember forever!

Great location and friendly staff. We tent camped in the lower field. Lots of room, not on top of each other. Quiet. Bring your bug spray lots of bugs before the sun goes down. Once the sun went down no more bugs. There are outhouses at the field. But for showers it's about a half mile up the road. That's why it only gets four stars.

We rented the Indigo cabinette. It wasn’t far from the C&O trail. The place was very old and dated with dirty carpet. The sconces in the bedroom area were nonfunctioning, as well as 2 living room lights. The stove propane ran out after 3 minutes. Worst part was the mice infestation. We woke up in the morning and found droppings on the kitchen and bathroom counters. They raided my husband’s travel bag and chewed on his earplugs. What a disappointment. And the cabinet was not cheap to rent. We travel often and stay at various places…some nice and some not so nice. However, this place wins the prize for our worst stay ever! Positive note: the campground itself was clean and quiet. The laundry facilities and bath house were very clean and top quality.

Ridge Rider Campground is nestled in a serene wooded mountain setting, just 6 miles off the highway exit. The drive to the campground is scenic and well-marked, making it easy to find even for first-time visitors. The location is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in nature. A couple of the standout features are the cleanliness and quality of its facilities. The bathrooms are well-maintained, with modern fixtures and ample space. The showers have good water pressure and are kept spotless, which is a huge plus for campers who value hygiene and comfort. The free wifi is a bonus as cell service is spotty at best as one would expect while out in the woods. The campground is wonderfully quiet, providing a peaceful and relaxing environment. Whether camping solo, with a partner, or with family, the tranquility of the surroundings makes it an ideal place to unwind. The wooded area also offers plenty of shade, perfect for staying cool during hot summer days. The well water at Ridge Rider is not only safe to drink but also surprisingly good tasting. It's clear and refreshing, making it easy to stay hydrated during your stay. This is a big advantage, as campers don't have to worry about bringing bottled water or dealing with unpleasant-tasting water. They have a pool, and playground and do have some activities on busy weekends to entertain young ones during the day and adults at night. The DJ on the week we stayed was very entertaining. Overall, Ridge Rider Campground in Little Orleans MD offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, comfort, and tranquility. Its wooded mountain location, clean bathrooms, quiet atmosphere, and great-tasting well water make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful camping experience. Whether you're an experienced camper or new to the outdoors, this campground provides a welcoming and enjoyable stay. Steve & Denise Tewksbury

If you are riding the C&O towpath, want a place to camp with hot showers and are willing to walk up some seriously steep (but short) hills, stay here. We did. Zero regrets. Bathhouse has been remodeled. Showers are hot with great pressure. Campsite was perfect. Camp store well stocked. Jim and Cary (Kerry) were awesome and super helpful.

Not sure what happened to my prior review which was somehow deleted. My camper was broken into and robbed while in storage at this campground last year. The manager didn’t even have the decency to refund me the $50 storage fee I paid for safe storage. I filed a police report with the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office. The manager still denied that it happened and claimed that I lied. That’s the type of customer service you can expect here.
