A forested campground near fishing, and hiking.
Blue Ridge Campground sits on the north end of Dierks Lake where the Saline River's flooded timber creates a distinct fishing environment; the 1,360-acre reservoir is particularly productive for bass and crappie, and two boat ramps at Blue Ridge put you directly into some of the area's best angling waters. The campground itself provides 20 sites that accommodate both RVs and tents, along with two restroom buildings and a single shower facility for overnight guests.
Length limits vary by campsite.
Showers on site.
Not listed — confirm before booking: Max RV length isn't listed.

“Nice quiet campground. Camp host is very nice as well. The bathrooms would be my only complaint.”
“The area is BEAUTIFUL the spot is a good one but we had zero neighbors Also ZERO cell service which is just fine. There is little to NO camp hosting going on…”
“The park attendant was very helpful. Check in was easy and didn’t have any problems. Clean campground and restrooms were clean. This was our first time camping here but this trip turned into a yearly trip. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,215 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
20 individual reservable campsites from Recreation.gov, checked Nov 7. Rates are the listed nightly rates.
