Cell service is limited or non-existent at most locations, particularly at Reeds Gap, where visitors note complete disconnection from service.

Tent campers frequently mention the peaceful atmosphere as a primary attraction. According to reviews, Ravensburg State Park remains uncrowded even during peak season, with campers often finding themselves alone midweek. "Put your phone away because there's no cell service here," notes one Reeds Gap visitor, who appreciated the dozen or so tent-only sites tucked back in the trees. Sites positioned along creeks offer natural white noise, though some campers mention this can be surprisingly loud after heavy rainfall. The vegetation between sites at Ravensburg creates natural privacy barriers, with one camper noting, "There are bushes and trees between the sites and it feels very private." Most locations are pet-friendly and offer access to hiking trails directly from the campgrounds.
