Red Rock Mountain Campground

Hikers accessing Ricketts Glen State Park will find Red Rock Mountain Campground serves as a convenient base just five minutes from the park entrance. This established campground in Benton accommodates both RVs with full hookups and tent campers, though some sites require a short hike-in for setup.

The campground features a mix of accommodation styles, from vintage cottages that "take you back in time" to primitive tent sites that offer privacy for couples seeking solitude. Recent improvements include an outdoor game area where families gather for evening activities. An on-site flea market provides entertainment between outdoor adventures, while Ricketts Glen State Park Campground offers an alternative for those preferring state park facilities.

Full RV hookups include electric, water, and sewer connections, complemented by clean bath houses and WiFi access. The campground maintains a bathhouse that reviewers consistently describe as clean, with firewood available for purchase on-site. Management receives praise for being accommodating and helpful with campers' needs.

"Peaceful little campground five minutes from Ricketts Glen State Park," notes Kait D.. However, quiet hours enforcement can be inconsistent, with some campers reporting late-night noise from other guests. Reservations are accepted and pets are welcome throughout the property.

Small Privately Owned Campground Minutes from Ricketts Glen

This campground takes you back in time. There are all these tiny little outdated but cute cottages and a bath house. Very cool. Our site was alright. There wasn't a great place to put our tent but we managed. Quiet hours are not enforced, there were kids running around screaming well after midnight which was annoying because we were waking up for a sunrise hike at Ricketts Glen.

We have been coming for years!

We have been camping here for the last three years. The work that has been some to this campground I’m the last year alone is amazing. It is so nice to hear families playing games with their new outdoor game area! Cabins, tents, rvs whatever it is it is a great place to stay! Close to many family places such as Ricketts Glen and The Red Rock Scoop for ice cream! Love rummaging through the on-site flea market to see what I can find! We will continue coming back with our RV! The woman running the campground is so sweet and helpful!

Quaint

We camped at Red Rock as couples. We stayed in primitive tent sites which you had to hike into. They were very private. We enjoyed our stay.
