Ted Ranch Campground

This place was rather disorganized and definitely not family friendly. It’s more of a large field decorated with porta-potties, broken playground equipment, and random farming machines. The lady at the front office kept her records on a steno pad and gave us quite the runaround because she didn’t know who we were or what our reservation was for. Site planning was abysmal. The large sites barely accommodated our 40ft fifth wheel and maneuvering was made near impossible by the whimsical placement of neighboring hookups, narrow roads, and porta-potties placed at the head of the sites. Despite only having partial hookups, the place didn’t have a proper bathhouse. We wouldn’t have noticed as much of it weren’t for the fact that a tornado went through just south of the campground and we had no place to shelter. I’d boondock in a Walmart parking lot before staying here again.

First off, BE ADVISED THERE ARE NO SHOWERS OR PERMANENT RESTROOMS HERE, ONLY PORTA POTTIES SCATTERED THROUGHOUT CAMPGROUND. ALSO NO SEWER HOOKUPS AT ANY SITES, EVEN SEASONAL ONES!!!!!! We stayed here on a dpur of the moment trip (have friends that are seasonal campers) when we got there, office was closed. I called the main number, and the office lady came down and got us checked in. Went to where our site was, had to be told by "neighbors" where the site was, as it was only marked by occasional spray paint marks on the ground. Got camper positioned and needed extensions for both power and water. Both were 55' from my camper (I was on the closest edge of the site). The site was all dirt and rocks, as were a lot of the sites. Our first two (of 3) nights, the site next to us, was still partying at 230 am (and I don't mean just sitting around campfire enjoying nature). Quiet time is 10 pm to 8 am. Second night, I asked them at MIDNIGHT to take it down a few notches as we were going to bed. They were still going strong at 215 am. At that point, I called the office, and the "manager" said she'd try to reach them (which she did on a video call on messenger). The next day, the two seasonal sites involved were served with eviction papers, and my family spent our last two days and one night getting dirty stares and rude comments. Management/owners went to excessive lengths trying to assure us that it's not the ordinary at their campground and trying to get us to return at another time. That currently is up in the air. But eith NO SHOWERS OR PERMANENT BATHROOMS I won't be in any hurry to return. Especially since I can pay $6 more a night at state parks and have water, electric and sewer at my sites (I don't need the sewer since I have no holding tanks) nightly patrols to deal with "rowdy" campers AND multiple bathhouse for showers and restrooms (electric only sites AT SP are on average $5 cheaper than here) The lake here is very nice with a sandy/pebble bottom. The playground is VERY nice.

Ted's Ranch Campground has amazing staff and they keep the grounds clean. For Faster horses they make sure the camper's are safe. Thank you, for another awesome year

We have been seasonal for almost 3 years. Very quiet. We love the private ownership. Glad we moved to this camp.

Very lovely campsite. Tons of Rustic options available and pretty close to the race track. Lovely views of the lake with Rv rentals available. Also to the woman who worked last night to help us get in late, you were a life saver! 😀 We almost had to sleep in our car because we had to wait for my husbands job to let us know what his next assignment was. So thanks for keeping your prices where they are for the sites, even on race week. 🙌 Bless you and your Ranch! They have such a cool peacock 🦚 near the house too.
