We loves this campground and the only draw back is the 3 miles of dirt road to get there.

Shower house was filthy even though the attendant and volunteer live right there by it.. vault toilets could be pumped more often . And just a little wipe down.. water smelled like sewage straight out of the spicket. Definitely don't show up with out water.. but it's quite and that's a plus.

This campground sits on a hill overlooking Lake Rathbun which gives campers an amazing view of the lake while they stay. There are water/electric hook-ups for RV/Camper Trailers. Tent camping is also available. A playground for the little ones. Plenty of hiking trails and easy access down to the lake. Shower house is a drive from camping area and bathrooms on site could be improved. All in all had a great time and will continue to be a favorite of mine.

Love staying at Prarie Ridge it's a hidden treasures at Lake Rathbun. We love that is small and tucked back in the woods very peaceful. I never feels over crowded with people makes you feel like you are out Camping.
