Ridgeview Campground - Lake Cascade


On July 4th weekend of 2009, the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation added a new campground at Lake Cascade. The campground, known as Ridgeview, was designed by The Land Group's civil and landscape staff. The campground is located just west of the City of Cascade and provides thirty sites for RV's and campers. Full electrical and water hook ups were designed for each camp site, and several have sewer hook ups as well. The design also included a new shower and restroom building.

This site has always been a popular place to camp, but overuse was causing erosion and damage to other natural resources. The Land Group's approach was to provide a new facility while minimizing the impact of construction on existing vegetation, to fit the design of the campground to the natural contours of the land, and to make the best use of the great views of Lake Cascade and the mountains to the west. The campground is on the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation reservation system, so book a site and pack your fising pole!
