It was a great weekend! When I called she was so pleasant and nice! We’ve been going every year for the last 5 years and love it every time. We can’t wait to book for Halloween weekend next year!

We had a great time at Ross Hill Campground. We were there for the July 4th celebrations and the bonfire and fireworks was spectacular. My only suggestion would be to have a bit better staff so that firewood could be delivered to individual campsites.

We had a wonderful week at this campground. It is so peaceful and the mature trees, and river beside it make a beautiful setting! Brooke was so accommodating. The laundry facilities are great! Thank you, Ross Hill!

Amazing home away from home campground we stay here every weekend and some vacation weeks. It’s such a quiet relaxed atmosphere. We love the weekend events and my child wishes she could live here permanently.

This place is a hidden gem. The management is exceptionally kind, helpful and accommodating. The enormous lake/river is gorgeous. Great for fishing, kayaking, boating or just sitting and enjoying the view. We had a fantastic site next to a babbling stream. We were looking for a relaxing long weekend and it was exactly what we had.

Ross Hill has been a great place to enjoy camping near a river. We have been visiting this campground as an occasional weekend camper since 2002. Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere keeps us returning.

We've camped the halloween weekend 2 years in a row and will keep coming back for years to come. The staff are awesome, friendly, and sooo helpful. You ask for something (obviously something reasonable, they're on it. Our group needed an extra picnic table this year because we had like 8 sites of people eating together and had one delivered and dragged right where we wanted it within an hour of getting there. The activities for the halloween weekend are enough to keep the whole family busy all weekend and are well planned and prepared. The camp ground is well maintained and is a nice amount of wilderness mixed with amenities such as bathrooms, showers, laundry, etc:) highly recommend 👌

Ross Hill campground was a great experience. It is local to us. The grounds were kept immaculate. Brooke and the rest of the staff were great and very helpful with any questions we might have. Had have stayed twice in the past month and a half and will be back again!

While mid a transition to new ownership, management for the new owners were gracious enough to allow us to enter the park, traveling FT in our RV, in late April, weeks before the park opened for the season, due to a family emergency. We stayed for a month. There was one snag regarding what type of hook up we needed but Brooke solved that quickly and helped in every way possible. It is one of the most beautiful parks we’ve stayed in. We highly recommend! We will return for sure! Thank you and best of luck!!
