Why Pittsburgh families camp at Ridge Ranch
Pittsburgh families head west for a full lake weekend: swimming off the beach and deck, the Wibit water park, kayaks, canoes and paddle boats, fishing, and themed weekends with DJ nights and bingo.
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.

A 17-acre lake with a sandy beach, a large swimming deck and a Wibit water park. Kayaks, canoes and paddle boats are allowed, and the fishing is right off the shore.
