Ridge Road COE, Georgia

Stayed at Ridge Road COE Campground in Appling Georgia this weekend. It sits on Lake Thurmond. Been over a decade since last there. We are from the Augusta Georgia area and have not been out there a many of times. Place was good or as can be expected from a COE campground. The only issues we had was the previous camper did not leave before checkout and left trash in the fire pit and someone pooped in the men's urinal in the bathhouse close to us. Fire pit was cleaned the next day by an attendant.

This is a great place to fish, boat, swim and just relax. The seclusion of our site was pretty good. Look at the pictures below and see if you can see our neighbors. This is a 180 degree view sitting from my chair under the awning. Behind us was the road, but was about 30-40' away with trees in between. Site #24.

    Shhhhh! LOL :B It's just hard to beat the C.O.E. parks along the Savannah. From Big Hart in Thomson, GA to Twin Lakes in Pendleton, SC... it's all about R&R. I try to spend a couple or three months in them every couple of years.


    Yeah, COE campgrounds are ok. I just wish they would keep them updated and cared for a little more. I think Petersburg there at Lake Thurmond is probably the best one I have been to. The bath houses still need to be updated though. But the sites seemed in better condition to me. They also don't have the coded gates like some other COE sites.

  • See the review of it on our site (link in signature). Have no idea about wind. I would guess a breeze would be ok. At night we just folded it down flat, but if a strong enough gust hit it, It might act like a sail. It's easy enough to remove and put back on in a minute. Don't think it would take a heavy rain either. I think the manufacturer says light rain.

    We wish we would of brought some lights for it. Next time we will.
  • wbwood, where did you get the canopy over the table? That is really cool. I have never seen one of those. Also, how stable is it in the wind?
