Family and I enjoyed our stay. Our second time staying at Seco Ridge. Clean bathrooms and convenient common area for cooking as there was a fire ban in place. Thanks Woody.
Woody is an awesome hosts. Responds quickly and answered all my questions. Highly recommend to stay here - site 8 was sufficient for 3 cars and 9 of my friends. The community area is well designed and maintained as well!
We stay here regularly and always enjoy it. They think of everything, all the campsites are very secluded and private, and the whole experience is amazing to get away and recharge!
The Bunkhouse was fantastic! What a relaxing getaway. Conveniently located near Garner State Park. Facilities were clean and well-tended. My daughters (8 & 11) had a great time exploring the campground and reading in the hammocks. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for our daily meal prep. I got to sample a delicious Witbier brewed on-site by the owner - thanks Woody! We will be back!
The privacy of the campsite was great and the short drive to Lost Maples was even better!
Just a fair warning to other campers: we were lucky enough to have a good 4-wheel drive SUV, because the trail to site 7 is extremely bumpy and rutty. That particular site is not recommended for smaller vehicles.
Overall, though, I can't recommend Seco Ridge enough!
We love camping at Seco Ridge. This was our second time there and Woody is a great host, responds and is there to answer any questions. The common shared area is nice for showering and bathrooms, but you also have your secluded space. I would definitely recommend!
