Red Ledge RV Park

We chose this place because of its proximity to the Kanarraville Falls trailhead (it is less than a half-mile away) but although it is advertised as an RV park and campground and there is a small grassy area for tents, it really is just an RV park, with a good percentage of full-time residents. Our van fit in between the big rigs but there is zero privacy between sites. Since we live out of our van and not in it, this was not optimal for us, however, there are two equipped communal patios. The first night of our stay it was too windy to cook outside, so we made a quick meal inside on our induction cooktop. The second night was much more pleasant, so we were able to bring our camp stove to the patio, cook and eat dinner. We were able to do dishes the next day in the office, which has a sink. 

Office hours are 11 am– 5:30 pm. Making a reservation and getting in touch with Gail during or outside of office hours was always very easy. Although the town of Kanarraville is very small, Red Ledge is located right on Main Street, and you will hear road noise. 

The restrooms and showers are clean, as was the laundry room. All have codes to get into them. The price to do a load of laundry was very reasonable ($1.25 for wash and $1.00 per dryer cycle). The shower had nice hot water and good water pressure, which was welcome after our hike to the falls, the reason we stayed here. You should definitely put this hike on your list but make sure you purchase a permit in advance as they sell out most days. 

Overall, this place is better for fully contained RVs but having the patio areas and the proximity to the trailhead made it work out well for us.

Let me first say that I am not an all the frills camper. In fact the less amenities, humans, post markers the better for me. I like solitude, feeling like you're in the wild. I like to be close to nature. This place-- it did not look appealing. It looked like an old RV resort with people who had been there for months. And honestly-- that's exactly what it is. I live in Rhode Island. I have been to this campground 4 times and will continue to come back. Gail (the owner) is awesome. She always sets us up with the grassiest knoll she has. And she always reminds us that for only 5extra Bucks we can switch to a cabin. And she always leaves the cabin open at night just in case a storm rolls through. The hot tub and community fire pit/grill is a great place to meet up with your neighbors for the night and talk about their travels. We have met some pretty amazing people at this little pit. There are even showers- which after being in the backcountry for four nights we welcomed. But the BEST part of this place is its within walking distance to Kanarraville Falls. Trust me. Look it up.
