The numbers that decide it

Recreation.gov publishes no site-level detail for this campground, so we cannot say what length of rig it takes. Call the managing office before committing to it in a large vehicle.

Pine Ridge Recreation Area

This campground and day use area is located in a pine forest. The short-leaf pine surrounding the area was planted by the CCC in the 1930’s. This is popular spot for visitors using the 36-mile Cedar Creek Trail to stop for the night. A large field in the day use area is perfect for tossing around a frisbee.
