Lakeside Escape was exactly what we were looking for—quiet, serene, and picturesque. The lake view was absolutely stunning, and the hiking trails were perfect for our morning walks. The campsite was well-equipped, and we really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere.

I stumbled upon Rustic Ridge Camp while searching for a place to disconnect, and I’m so glad I did! It’s a hidden gem with great amenities and a laid-back vibe. Perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. We will definitely be coming back!
