#18 was a nice site, lots of shade and an easy walk to the lake. Not so great for a camper as there was lots of campground traffic and the walk to the campsite was a bit steep…could use some steps.

We have been going to Mustang Ridge campground for many years. This year we never saw the camp host, but the restrooms and the showers were clean. I know we have had to pay a user fee for many years for improvements. However there has not been any visible improvements. The same broken tables. We love the Mustang Ridge campground and it’s proximity to the water and the boat ramp.
