Pride Valley Campground

Pride Valley Campground sits on 35 acres outside Malvern, accommodating RVs up to 35 feet with full hookups alongside tent sites that include water and electric connections. The campground caters primarily to RV campers, though tent sites are available with the same utility access whether campers use the hookups or not.

A swimming pond with diving board serves as the central recreational feature, drawing families during warmer months. Wooded areas provide shade across much of the property, with sites described by visitors as level and relatively new, though some note the gravel is still settling. Fire pits accompany each site, and Rozina G. mentions "each spot has a fire pit, full connections for $450 per month."

The shower house requires maintenance according to multiple reviews, with basic functionality but cleanliness concerns noted. Management receives mixed feedback, with some praising friendliness while others cite safety response issues. Monthly rates attract longer-term campers alongside overnight visitors.

Campers seeking additional options can explore camping near Malvern or consider nearby alternatives like Atwood Lake County Campground. Reservations are accepted, and the campground allows pets throughout the property.

Terrible to say the least

The owners don’t care about camper safety at all. When a permanent camper starts slashing tires and threatening people with a knife they should act when called. Nope they came up two plus hours later and told her to get in her camper. Violence should never be exceptable. The women was arrested the next morning. The owners should have called the sheriff’s when they were called. They care zero about the campers or the kids that are there. Very unsafe. We won’t be back.

Terrible

The lady running the concession stand was cracked out!!! Then wants to make rules for the lake that aren’t posted. She screams at the kids and is a bully. She isn’t sober and gives the swim tests for the docks. So let put a kid that we don’t know if they can swim in deeper water. Then watch them from the concession stand. Swim at your own risk, means hope the crackhead doesn’t make a new rule. We won’t be returning.

OK Campground

Friendly staff. Definitely insanely overpriced for low-impact tent-campers. (They charge based on the assumption you'll be using their electric and water hook-ups at tent sites, for example. For the record, I consider $25 to pitch a tent, have a campfire you fund, and get a hot shower they fund to be absurd.)

Bathroom facilities are poor and not well-maintained, but count as (barely) serviceable. Make sure to bring sandals so as not to step in the animal shit that covers the floors of the restrooms. Large campground. Could be worth it for tent campers if you plan to make use of other amenities they offer, such as their swimming pond with diving board.

Would I go again? Maybe, maybe not. Probably not, but your mileage may vary. Their primary audience is clearly the RV crowd. Every single one of their tent sites has water and electric hookups, and no serious tent campers (car campers, glampers) want or need that, but are expected to pay for it anyway.

If you're going to this place, you're probably in the RV crowd. Look for reviews from those folks. For mostly primitive tent camping (i.e, a place to pitch a tent plus a hot shower), I rate this place as a C+. This rating is based almost entirely on value (D) and quality of the bathroom/shower amenities (C). The well-maintained land and the additional amenities many will not care for give it a boost to the C+ range.
