It's a nice quiet camp ground. Some of the spots are on a hill side. We had to move. The fire rings need some attention. They are rusted out. And no one cleans them. The pool was only open for two days due to no staff. But the two days it was open the staff didn't do anything. So it really wouldn't have hurt to open up with out them. It's a long walk to every thing there so I suggest if you have small kids like we did. Take a second vehicle, a wagon, or some means to help with the walk
The scenery was beautiful!!! We saw plenty of birds, the Little Blue Heron, the green Heron, lots of Canadian Goose, plenty of wood ducks and a pair of white birds. I think they are Egrets. We fished from sunrise for about 3 hours but, didn't catch any fish. The water was smooth as glass.
After a four night five day camping trip to Rural Retreat Lake Campground with my family we had a very nice time in site 46!
This is not a bougie campground! It's very much a camp ground that has been around a few yrs! It still has a lot of life in it and the quiet atmosphere and spacious sites are very sweet! That being said you will most likely need to bring a fair amount of leveling blocks for sure on some sites in order to achieve a level camper! You will also experience a pretty laided back atmosphere in the campground as well! Most sites have a ton of shade which is super nice on these summer days!
The play ground is pretty nice and my son had a great time playing on it!
It would be awesome to see a bit more gravel added to some sites to cut down on the mud.
We plan to be back early August for another trip and look forward to making more memories at RRLC!
Great little gem in Rural Retreat. Nothing super fancy and it doesn't need to be. Camping offers both primitive ($20 a night) and water/electric hook ups ($30 a night). Several picnic shelters scattered throughout. Good size public pool ($4 a person) and they now have a nice 9 hole disc golf course with some wide open throws that's great for beginning to intermediate players!
Wonderful place! Caught a few fish, enjoyed a Beautiful view and a nice little hike! Area was clean and well kept. Will definitely be returning!
