River Ridge Campground

I had a beautiful weekend here. I met so many kind and loving souls here and I will carry their love, their support, and the bonds I have made here for a lifetime. However my time here was cut short when I was approached and told that I was welcome to stay, but I needed to cover myself in common areas because of my anatomy and I ultimately decided to see myself out. I do not bear any ill will to the individuals responsible for that decision and I will not impose myself upon a community where I am not wholly welcome, but I write this as a warning to others that are transitioning and carry concerns about the type of reception they will receive. Forgive them, for they know not what they do – let’s show love and kindness in deeds and words.

It’s not the fanciest campground but the campers are the best bunch of guys you could hope for. Nestled in the middle of farm country is this campground on the banks of the Licking River. It has a nice pool, pool deck, recreation hall and play area. The summer is filled with themed weekends and plenty of campfires to sit around, sip a cocktail and shoot the breeze. Coming this summer we have new shaded tent sites and a new bathhouse. In full disclosure I am a seasonal camper here. But that has allowed me to see how friendly this place can be for two summers. Can’t wait for my third!
