This was a lovely getaway for Memorial Day Weekend. The drive to the campground was beautiful, with scenic overlooks and green trees at every turn. We were tent camping, so I wasn't sure what to expect since Big Ridge (judging from their website) seemed to be mostly RVs. We were very pleasantly surprised to have a huge tent site (sites #9 and #10) with two picnic tables and lots of grass and shade. It was more than enough room for our 4 tents, shade tent, and 3 cars to park. Nice stream running behind our site and plenty of trees to hang hammocks. We were able to hike at adjacent Lost River State Park which had gorgeous views. Horseback riding is also available. The bath house was very clean and the showers were hot. Overall this was a great place and we will definitely be back.

We booked here for a quick getaway in our camper from the greater DC area. For the cost, this campground is easily a five star review. Most of the larger chains would easily charge double what Big Ridge costs.

There are several hiking trails that you can access right from the campground and a horseback riding stable just down the road. Its very quiet during off weekends (not sure about holiday weekends though) which was great for sitting around by a campfire at night.

The sites aren't huge, but I was able to get my 31' travel trailer into them just fine. I would definitely recommend it for anyone in the area.

Side note - Verizon cell phones do not work here (Heaven for us, torture for some I'm sure).

One of my favorite places to camp and ride. Four and a half hours from Chesapeake Virginia.This is a private campground but Lost River State park has a pool you can pay to go in only minutes from campground also country store to pick up other items you may need while camping at Big Ridge Camp Ground.. Also local nice places to eat and shop. Not big business but nice country places to visit.
