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!
In between primitive and glamping with the perfect sprinkle of privacy and wilderness along with comforts such as running water and easily accessible restrooms.
Thank you so much!!
My family and I absolutely loved our camp site! There was a nice hike to some amazing views. We were able to watch the sunset over the hills and it was absolutely gorgeous! The bathrooms/shower were super cute and clean, and the common areas were adorable and very honey. My children really enjoyed the hammocks and swing. Our campsite even had some cute solar lights that came on at night. It was definitely a great experience! I would highly recommend!
