Highland Ridge - Eau Galle Reservoir

Wildlife enthusiasts will find Highland Ridge - Eau Galle Reservoir offers opportunities to observe local animals and listen to owls calling at night. This county park campground sits within wooded terrain near the reservoir, providing hookups and accepting reservations for campers with pets.

The campground maintains well-shaded sites that offer privacy between camping spots, though some sites present backing challenges for larger RVs. Campers consistently note the facility's cleanliness standards. A playground serves families, while hiking trails wind through the surrounding forest. David G. reports "plenty of wildlife and can hear the owls talking to each other" during evening hours.

Local farms supply firewood within a short drive of the campground. The area includes a nearby creamery for provisions. Water activities like kayaking and canoeing are accessible from the reservoir. Sites are positioned relatively close together, so the camping experience depends partly on neighboring campers. For additional options beyond this location, campers can explore campgrounds outside Spring Valley.

The campground works well for families seeking a maintained facility with amenities, RV campers who can navigate tighter backing situations, and wildlife watchers who appreciate wooded settings with active animal populations.

Great campground

This was one of The cleanest campgrounds I have ever stayed at. The sites are large and very well shaded for privacy. Great playground and hiking area. Some sites are difficult to back into if you have a large rig.
