Why Cleveland families camp at Ridge Ranch

Cleveland families trade the city for the lake: swimming off the beach, a Wibit obstacle course on the water, paddle boats and kayaks, fishing, and themed weekends with DJ nights, karaoke and bingo at the pavilion.

Check-in is no-wait so you drive straight to your site, every site has a fire pit and picnic table, and the camp store has groceries, ice, firewood, pop, bait, fishing supplies and ice cream. See the full list of amenities and activities.
