Blue Ridge Campground

Blue Ridge Campground is located about 5 miles north of C.C. Cragin (Blue Ridge) Reservoir, as the crow flies. It is about 10 miles by road.

There's plenty to do for everyone, including sightseeing, wildlife watching, hiking, and mountain biking available here in these canyon-carved uplands. If just talking about all this activity makes you want to kick back and relax with nothing more strenuous to do than watch the squirrels bury pine seeds, then one of these shady, forested areas is probably just the place for you.
